Federal Register Document Drafting Handbook



October 1998 Revision ; Supplement 2



Corrections to a Rule



May 1, 2004



The Office of the Federal Register is amending the Federal Register

Document Drafting Handbook by revising "Section 4.6, Corrections to a

rule."



Currently, section 4.6 states that if the revision date of the CFR

volume for the rule has not yet occurred, you may format the

correction as a correction to the rule document itself, as published

in the FEDERAL REGISTER.



Previously, our CFR editors were able to incorporate these changes

when they updated the printed CFR volume after the revision date had

passed.



However, since the advent of the electronic CFR, our editors now

update the CFR electronically and insert each change when the

effective date of the rule arrives. Under this system, it is necessary

for corrections to CFR text that are published after the effective

date of the original rule occurs to be formatted as correcting

amendments to the CFR.



Note that only rule document corrections are affected by this change.

Then format for corrections to proposed rule and notice documents is

unchanged.



The new section 4.6 reads as follows:



4.6 Corrections to a rule.



Nonsubstantive errors. If you discover obvious misspellings or other

nonsubstantive errors in CFR text as set out in a rule document, your

Liaison Officer should contact our Code of Federal Regulations unit.

We sometimes make these corrections in the next edition of the CFR

without requiring a Federal Register correction.



Substantive errors. You must publish a document in the Federal

Register to correct substantive errors in your original document. A

document that corrects a previously published rule must:



* Repeat the agency headings of the document being corrected.



* Carry a CFR heading for only the CFR parts affected by the

correction (list all CFR parts if the preamble is corrected).



* Repeat the Docket number.



* Repeat the RIN number.



* Repeat the subject heading of the document being corrected with a

semicolon and the word "Correction" added at the end.



* Follow the preamble requirements for a rule.



* Effective Date -- You must furnish one for rule corrections. The

effective date for a rule correction may not be earlier than the

effective date of the rule you are correcting.



* To correct an entire paragraph, set out the section heading, and use

asterisks. See section 2.14 of this handbook.



There are two different formats for correcting regulatory text in a

rule document. Both require signed documents. The format used depends

on whether the effective date of the rule has occurred.



Note: If you are correcting only a docket number or preamble text, use

the format in Example 1, even if the effective date has passed.



If the effective date of the rule you are correcting has not yet

occurred, use the format for corrections to the Federal Register:



Example 1: Corrections to the Federal Register.



The Food and Drug Administration published a rule on December 23, 2002

which will become effective on December 23, 2004. On April 14, 2003

(before the effective date), FDA published a correction to the Federal

Register.

BILLING CODE 4160-01-S



If the effective date of the rule you are correcting has already

occurred, use the format for correcting amendments to the CFR

(sometimes called "technical amendments").



Example 2: Correcting amendment to the CFR.



The Federal Communications Commission published a rule on April 21,

2003 which became effective on May 21, 2003. The FCC published a

correction on January 29, 2004 as a correcting amendment to the CFR.



FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION



47 CFR Part 90



[WT Docket No. 01-146; RM-9966; FCC 03-35]



Applications and Licensing of Low Power Operations in the Private Land

Mobile Radio 450-470 MHz Band; Corrections



AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.



ACTION: Correcting amendments.



SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission published a document in

the Federal Register on April 21, 2003 (68 FR 19444), revising

Commission rules. That document inadvertently failed to update the

station class for frequency 464.575 MHz listed in Sec. 90.35(b)(3) and

incorrectly listed a cross-reference in Sec. 90.267(e)(3). This

document corrects the final regulations by revising these sections.



DATES: Effective on January 29, 2004.

Division Chief, Public Safety and Critical Infrastructure Division at
