SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In a final rule that was published in the Federal Register on March 
22, 2011 (76 FR 15791-15798, Docket No. APHIS-2009-0031), and effective 
on April 21, 2011, we amended the National Poultry Improvement Plan 
(the Plan) and its auxiliary provisions by providing new or modified 
sampling and testing procedures for Plan participants and participating 
flocks. We also amended the regulations in 9 CFR part 56, which set out 
conditions for the payment of indemnity for costs associated with 
poultry that are infected with or exposed to the H5 or H7 subtypes of 
low pathogenic avian influenza.
    In Sec.  56.3, we simplified the list of types of poultry eligible 
for 100 percent indemnity in paragraph (b) by replacing former 
paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(6) with new paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2) 
and redesignating former paragraph (b)(7) as paragraph (b)(3). However, 
our amendatory instructions for accomplishing this change neglected to 
remove former paragraph (b)(3), resulting in the presence of two 
paragraphs designated (b)(3) in the Code of Federal Regulations. This 
document corrects that error.

List of Subjects in 9 CFR Part 56

    Animal diseases, Indemnity payments, Low pathogenic avian 
influenza, Poultry.
