# AGENCY:

Social Security Administration. 

# ACTION:

Final rules; correction. 

# SUMMARY:

                        We published in the                         **Federal Register**                         of August 21, 2000, a document concerning revising our regulations for evaluating mental impairments. Inadvertently §§ 404.1520a and 416.920a each contains a word from the prior rules that we had revised in the final rules. This document corrects that oversight.                     

# DATES:

Effective on September 20, 2000.

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    We published a document in the                     **Federal Register**                     of July 18, 1991 (56 FR 33130), proposing revisions to §§ 404.1520a and 416.920a. In the final rules we published in the                     **Federal Register**                     of August 21, 2000 (65 FR 50746), we inadvertently used the word “slight” from the prior rules for the second point of the five-point scale in §§ 404.1520a(c)(4) and 416.920a(c)(4). We intended to use the word “mild,” as we had proposed. This correction makes §§ 404.1520a(c)(4) and 416.920a(c)(4) consistent with the remainder of the final rules.                 

                    In the                     **Federal Register**                     of August 21, 2000, make the following corrections. On page 50775, in the first column, in § 404.1520a(c)(4), the first sentence, correct “slight” to read “mild.” On page 50783, in the first column, in § 416.920a(c)(4), the first sentence, correct “slight” to read “mild.”

(4) When we rate the degree of limitation in the first three functional areas (activities of daily living; social functioning; and concentration, persistence, or pace), we will use the following five-point scale: None, mild, moderate, marked, and extreme. * * *
