SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

In a direct final rule published in the Federal Register on June 12, 2007 (72 FR 3216532167, Docket No. APHIS 20070072) and effective on August 13, 2007, we amended the black stem rust quarantine and regulations in 7 CFR part 301 by adding four varieties to the list of rustresistant Berberis species or cultivars in Sec. 301.382 of the regulations.

In the amendatory instructions we stated that we were amending paragraph (b) of Sec. 301.382 in order to add the four varieties to the list of rustresistant Berberis species or cultivars. However, this was incorrect. We should have stated that we were amending paragraph (a)(1) of Sec. 301.382. This document corrects that error. List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 301

Accordingly, 7 CFR part 301 is amended as follows:
