**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

**Background**

The final regulations that are the subject of these corrections updated
and corrected pipeline safety program procedures by amending
nomenclature, addresses, typographical errors, and penalty amounts.
These editorial amendments imposed no new procedural requirements.

**Need for Correction**

The final regulations contained four errors. The amendment number for
Part 192, Amdt. 192-74, was previously assigned to the final rule in
Docket No. PS-135. The next number in the series of amendments to Part
192 should be Amdt. 192-75. In §190.205, the word \"owner\'\' was
omitted. The amount in §190.223(a) should be \"\$25,000\'\'. And, in
§198.35, the citation should be \"49 U.S.C. 60101 *et seq*.\'\'

**Correction of Publication**

Accordingly, the publication on April 26, 1996, of the final regulations
(PS-145), which was the subject of FR Doc. 96-10282, is corrected as
follows:

number \"192-74\'\' is corrected to read \"192-75\'\'.

2\. On page 18513, third column, §190.205 is corrected to read as
follows:

**§190.205 Warning letters.**

Upon determining that a probable violation of 49 U.S.C. 60101 et seq. or
any regulation or order issued thereunder has occurred, the Associate
Administrator, OPS, may issue a Warning Letter notifying the owner or
operator of the probable violation and advising the owner or operator to
correct it or be subject to enforcement action under §§ 190.207 through
190.235.

**§190.223 \[Corrected\]**

3\. On page 18515, first column, in §190.223(a) the figure

follows:

**§198.35 Grants conditioned on adoption of one-call damage prevention
program.**

In allocating grants to State agencies under the pipeline safety laws,
(49 U.S.C. 60101 *et seq*.), the Secretary considers whether a State has
adopted or is seeking to adopt a one-call damage prevention program in
accordance with §198.37. If a State has not adopted or is not seeking to
adopt such program, the State agency may not receive the full
reimbursement to which it would otherwise be entitled.

Issued in Washington, DC. on June 24, 1996.
