-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Agricultural Marketing Service is making correcting 
amendments pertaining to a final rule that appeared in the Federal 
Register on August 30, 2019. The final rule

[[Page 56678]]

transferred certain regulations under the Farm Service Agency (FSA) and 
the Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) to 
the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) to reflect changes in the 
organizational structure and delegated authorities within the United 
States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The final rule also made 
corresponding revisions to the regulations to reflect the 
organizational changes.

DATES: Effective October 23, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dawana J. Clark, Legislative and 
Regulatory Review Staff, Office of the Administrator, AMS, USDA; 
Telephone: (202) 720-7540, Fax: (202) 690-3767, or Email: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In FR Doc. 2019-18201 appearing on page 
45644 in the Federal Register of Friday, August 30, 2019, portions of 
amendatory instructions to sections in 9 CFR parts 201, 202, and 203 
were either incorrect or incomplete.
    In an instruction amending Sec.  201.108-1, the section number read 
in error (Sec.  201.180-1). When amending paragraph (b) in Sec.  202.2, 
we neglected to replace ``GIPSA'' with ``AMS.'' In amending Sec.  
203.7, we cited incorrect language to be changed. And finally, in the 
amendment to Sec.  203.14, we incorrectly cited Sec.  203.114.
    This correcting amendment rule amends 9 CFR 201.108-1, 202.2, 
203.7, and 203.14 as intended in the final rule published August 30, 
2019, at 84 FR 45644.
