In rule FR Doc. 2024-12192, published in the Federal Register at 89 FR 
48330, on June 6, 2024, on page 48336, in the second column, amendatory 
instruction 2, section 502.101, correct paragraph 3 of the definition 
of Packaging to read as follows:


502.101  [Corrected]

    Packaging * * *
    (3) Shipping packaging means packaging that serves as protection 
for the goods to ensure safe transport to the end customer, including:
    (i) Ancillary packaging or transport packaging or tertiary 
packaging means packaging intended to secure the product, such as 
packing peanuts, wrapping materials, or molded materials. Ancillary 
packaging (or all shipping packaging) is typically outside of brand 
packaging.
    (ii) Redundant packaging or unnecessary packaging means packaging 
that does not add any measurable protection to the supply being 
shipped, such as multiple layers of bubble wrap to an already durable 
product that is encased in a cardboard box. An example of this is a 
home testing kit with all plastic components already packaged in a 
cardboard box with cardboard inserts to absorb shock, that is then 
shipped in multiple layers of bubble wrap. In this example the bubble 
wrap is the redundant single-use plastic packaging.
