SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

1. Background

   In FR Doc. 08-1147 of April 17, 2008 (73 FR 20900), there was a technical error that is identified and corrected in the Correction of

   Errors section below. The provisions in this correction notice are applicable as if they had been included in the document published April 17, 2008. Accordingly, the corrections are applicable May 20, 2008.

   We inadvertently omitted the words ``has objective integrity and independence'' from section 88.3(d)(1), which describes the required certification that recipients must submit. We are also correcting the

   Executive Order 12866--Regulatory Planning and Review section beginning with the second paragraph to read ``the'' instead of ``this''. We are correcting the errors by republishing the corrected paragraph in this section of the proposed rule.

2. Correction of Errors

   In FR Doc. 08-1147 of April 17, 2008 (73 FR 20900), make the following corrections:

   On Page 20902, in the last column; second paragraph of the

   Executive Order 12866--Regulatory Planning and Review section, replace the word ``This'' with ``The''. The corrected paragraph should read:

   ``The benefits of this rule are to ensure that an appropriate separation exists. * * * ''

   On page 20904, in the second column; in the last paragraph, insert

   ``has objective integrity and independence'' before ``as defined in 45

   CFR part 88, from any * * *'' The corrected paragraph should read:

   (1) Organizational Integrity Certification: ``I hereby certify that

   name of recipient

   , a recipient of the funds made available through this [grant, cooperative agreement, contract, or other funding instrument], has objective integrity and independence as defined in 45

   CFR part 88, from any affiliated organization that engages in activities inconsistent with a policy opposing prostitution and sex trafficking.''

   Dated: May 8, 2008.

   Executive Secretary to the Department.
