■ Accordingly, 7 CFR part 457 is 

corrected by making the following 

corrected amendment:

PART 457—COMMON CROP 

INSURANCE REGULATIONS

■ 1. The authority citation for part 457 

continues to read as follows:

Authority: 7 U.S.C. 1506(1) and 1506(p).

■ 2. Section 457.8 is amended by 

revising section 17(e)(1)(i)(A) to read as 

follows:

§ 457.8 The application and policy.

* * * * *

17. Prevented Planting

* * * * *

(e) * * * 

(1) * * * 

(i) * * * 

(A) The maximum number of acres 

certified for APH purposes, or insured 

acres reported, for the crop in any one 

of the 4 most recent crop years (not 

including reported prevented planting 

acreage that was planted to a second 

crop unless you meet the double 

cropping requirements in section 

17(f)(4)). The number of acres 

determined above for a crop may be 

increased by multiplying it by the ratio 

of the total cropland acres that you are 

farming this year (if greater) to the total 

cropland acres that you farmed in the 

previous year, provided that you submit 

proof to us that for the current crop year 

you have purchased or leased additional 

land or that acreage will be released 

from any USDA program which 

prohibits harvest of a crop. Such acreage 

must have been purchased, leased, or 

released from the USDA program, in 

time to plant it for the current crop year 

using good farming practices. No cause 

of loss that would prevent planting may 

be evident at the time you lease the 

acreage (except acreage you leased the 

previous year and continue to lease in 

the current crop year); you buy the 

acreage; the acreage is released from a 

USDA program which prohibits harvest 

of a crop; you request a written 

agreement to insure the acreage; or you 

otherwise acquire the acreage (such as 

inherited or gifted acreage).

Uniform Compliance Date for Food 

Labeling Regulations

AGENCY: Food Safety and Inspection 

Service, USDA.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This rule announces that the 

Food Safety and Inspection Service 

(FSIS) is establishing January 1, 2008, as 

the uniform compliance date for new 

food labeling regulations that are issued 

between January 1, 2005, and December 

31, 2006. FSIS is establishing a uniform 

compliance date to minimize the 

economic impact of labeling changes by 

providing for an orderly industry 

adjustment to new labeling 

requirements that occur between the 

designated dates. Furthermore, FSIS is 

establishing the uniform compliance 

date approach in order to be consistent 

with the approach that the Department 

of Health and Human Services, Food 

and Drug Administration (FDA), has 

already established.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective 

January 13, 2005.
