AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.

ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.

SUMMARY: The Agricultural Marketing Service is correcting the proposed rule that appeared in the Federal Register on September 8, 2003 (68 FR 52860), which gave notice of a public hearing to be held to consider proposals to amend the Northeast and other Federal milk marketing orders. The document was published with errors in the regulatory text of proposed amendments to Sec. 1000.40 that would reclassify milk used to produce evaporated or sweetened condensed milk in a consumer-type package from Class III to Class IV. This docket corrects these errors.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Antoinette M. Carter, Marketing Specialist, Order Formulation and Enforcement, USDA/AMS/Dairy Programs, Room 2971--Stop 0231, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20250-0231, (202) 690-3465, e-mail address: Antoinette.Carter@usda.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A notice of hearing was published in the Federal Register on September 8, 2003 (68 FR 52860), containing four proposals to be considered at a public hearing scheduled to begin on October 21, 2003. As published, the regulatory text included in proposals one and two of the notice of hearing does not reflect amendments that became effective April 1, 2003, in all 11 Federal milk marketing orders revising the Class III and Class IV pricing formulas. Accordingly, the errors contained in proposals one and two of the notice of hearing are misleading and need clarification.
