SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    In FR Doc. 2010-28774 filed November 10, 2010, there was a 
technical error that is identified and corrected in the Correction of 
Errors section below.

II. Summary of Errors

    In the DATES section, we inadvertently requested that the Office of 
the Federal Register base the comment period closing date on the date 
the proposed rule will appear in the Federal Register instead of the 
date of filing for public inspection. Therefore, in section III. of 
this correction notice, we correct this error by inserting the date 
that the comment period closes, which is January 11, 2011.

III. Waiver of 60-Day Comment Period

    We ordinarily permit a 60-day comment period on notices of proposed 
rulemaking in the Federal Register, as provided in section 1871(b)(1) 
of the Act. The change made by this correction notice does not 
constitute agency rulemaking, and therefore the 60-day comment period 
does not apply. This correction notice merely corrects a technical 
error in the proposed rule and does not make substantive changes to the 
proposed rule that would require additional time on which to comment. 
Instead, this correction notice is intended to ensure the accuracy of 
the proposed rule.

IV. Correction of Errors

    In FR Doc. 2010-28774 filed November 10, 2010, make the following 
correction:
    1. In the DATES section, the phrase ``[OFR--insert date 60 days 
after date of publication in the Federal Register]'' is corrected to 
read ``January 11, 2011.''
