# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## Background 

On September 29, 2000, RSPA published a final rule under Docket HM-189Q (65 FR 58614) to correct editorial errors, make minor regulatory changes and, in response to requests for clarification, improve the clarity of certain provisions in the HMR. This amendment makes minor changes to correct wording omissions and typographical errors to the September 29 final rule, which was effective October 1, 2000. 

Because the amendments do not impose new requirements, notice and public comment are unnecessary.
