                    In the                     **Federal Register**                     of June 29, 2023, FR Doc. 2023-13803 (88 FR 42042-42043) under the                     **SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION**                     section, the following corrections are made:                

                    1. On page 42042, in the third column, correct                     *Estimate of burden: to read:*

*Estimate of burden:*                     The public burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.99 hours per response.                

2. On page 42043, in the first column, make the following corrections:

*Estimated annual number of respondents:*                     216.                

*Estimated annual number of responses per respondent:*                     33.

*Estimated total annual burden on respondents:*                     7,168 hours. (Due to averaging, the total annual burden hours may not equal the product of the annual number of responses multiplied by the reporting burden per response.)
