# SUMMARY:

                        In a direct final rule published on February 28, 2022, and effective on April 29, 2022, the U.S. Department of Agriculture notified the public of our intention to revise our regulations regarding the production or disclosure of official information in legal proceedings (referred to as                         *Touhy*                         regulations). The direct final rule contained an incorrect email address, which we are correcting in this document.

Effective May 2, 2022.

                        Karen Carrington Fletcher, Senior Counsel, Office of the General Counsel, USDA, 1400 Independence Ave. SW, Room 103-W, Washington, DC 20250;                         *karen.fletcher@usda.gov;*                         (202) 720-0944.                    

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    On February 28, 2022, the U.S. Department of Agriculture published a direct final rule. (See 87 FR 10925) The direct final rule notified the public of our intention to revise our regulations regarding the production or disclosure of official information in legal proceedings (referred to as                     *Touhy*                     regulations).                

In the direct final rule, we provided an email address for the submission of demands to the Department's Office of the General Counsel. The address was incorrect. This technical amendment amends the regulations to provide the correct address.
