Production, Transportation, and Storage  
 The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending its regulations to correct the date by 
which producers must register their farm with FDA, reflect a change in the address and telephone 
number for requesting copies of Form No. 3733, a nd reflect a change in the address to which 
producers must send their CD ROM.  This action is ed itorial in nature and is  intended to improve the 
accuracy of the agency's regulations. 
 FDA is amending its regulations in 21 CFR part  118 to correct the following information: (1) 
The date by which egg producers must register th eir farm with FDA;  (2) the address and telephone 
number for requesting copies of Form 3733;  and (3 ) the address to which egg producers must send 
their CD ROM.  Publication of this document constitutes final action on this change under the 
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553).  Notice and public proce dures are unnecessary because
