-----------------------------------------------------------------------

published on May 1, 1996 concerning nectarines and peaches grown in 
California.

EFFECTIVE DATES: May 2, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kenneth Johnson, Marketing Specialist, 
Marketing Order Administration Branch, Fruit and Vegetable Division,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    This rule establishes a ``CA Utility'' quality requirement, based 
on minimum quality standards established under the California 
Agriculture Code, with a limitation on the amount of fruit meeting U.S. 
No. 1 or higher grade requirements that may be contained in the utility 
pack. This final rule also requires that containers of nectarines and 
peaches meeting the ``CA Utility'' quality requirement be clearly 
marked ``CA Utility.''

Need for Correction

    In the final rule, FR Doc. 96-10758, published May 1, 1996, the 
last sentence in section (a)(1)(ii) was inadvertently omitted, 
therefore, the existing language may prove to be misleading and is in 
need of clarification.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, in FR Doc. 96-10758, page 19164, second column section 
916.356, paragraph (a)(1)(ii) is corrected to read as follows:


Sec. 916.356  [Corrected]

    (a) * * *
    (ii) Free from serious damage due to skin breaks, cuts, growth 
cracks, bruises, or other causes. Damage to any nectarine is serious 
when it causes a waste of 10 percent or more, by volume, of the 
individual nectarine.
* * * * *
    Dated: May 20, 1996.

Director, Fruit and Vegetable Division.
