ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending its 
regulations to correct the date by which producers must register their 
farm with FDA, reflect a change in the address and telephone number for 
requesting copies of Form No. 3733, and reflect a change in the address 
to which producers must send their CD-ROM. This action is editorial in 
nature and is intended to improve the accuracy of the agency's 
regulations.

DATES: Effective on April 13, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Sheehan, Center for Food Safety 
and Applied Nutrition (HFS-315), Food and Drug Administration, 5100 
Paint Branch Pkwy., College Park, MD 20740, 301-436-1488.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA is amending its regulations in 21 CFR 
part 118 to correct the following information: (1) The date by which 
egg producers must register their farm with FDA, (2) the address and 
telephone number for requesting copies of Form 3733, and (3) the 
address to which egg producers must send their CD-ROM. Publication of 
this document constitutes final action on this change under the 
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553). Notice and public
