[Docket No. APHIS-2007-0072]
Black Stem Rust; Addition of Rust-Resistant Varieties; Correction
AGENCY:
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION:
Direct final rule; correction.
SUMMARY:
We are correcting an error in the amendatory instructions in our direct final rule that added four varieties to the list of rust-resistant Berberis species or cultivars in the black stem rust quarantine and regulations. The direct final rule was published in the Federal Register on June 12, 2007 (72 FR 32165-32167, Docket No. APHIS-2007-0072) and became effective on August 13, 2007.
DATES:
Effective Date: December 20, 2007.

Dr. Vedpal Malik, Agriculturalist, Invasive Species and Pest Management, PPQ, APHIS, 4700 River Road, Unit 134, Riverdale, MD 20737-1236; (301) 734-6774.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
In a direct final rule published in the Federal Register on June 12, 2007 (72 FR 32165-32167, Docket No. APHIS-2007-0072) 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 rust-resistant Berberis species or cultivars in § 301.38-2 of the regulations.
In the amendatory instructions we stated that we were amending paragraph (b) of § 301.38-2 in order to add the four varieties to the list of rust-resistant Berberis species or cultivars. However, this was incorrect. We should have stated that we were amending paragraph (a)(1) of § 301.38-2. This document corrects that error.
