                SUMMARY: The Agricultural Marketing Service is making correcting
                amendments pertaining to a final rule that appeared in the Federal
                Register on August 30, 2019. The final rule
                [[Page 56678]]
                transferred certain regulations under the Farm Service Agency (FSA) and
                the Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) to
                the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) to reflect changes in the
                organizational structure and delegated authorities within the United
                States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The final rule also made
                corresponding revisions to the regulations to reflect the
                organizational changes.
                DATES: Effective October 23, 2019.

                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In FR Doc. 2019-18201 appearing on page
                45644 in the Federal Register of Friday, August 30, 2019, portions of
                amendatory instructions to sections in 9 CFR parts 201, 202, and 203
                were either incorrect or incomplete.
                 In an instruction amending Sec. 201.108-1, the section number read
                in error (Sec. 201.180-1). When amending paragraph (b) in Sec. 202.2,
                we neglected to replace ``GIPSA'' with ``AMS.'' In amending Sec.
                203.7, we cited incorrect language to be changed. And finally, in the
                amendment to Sec. 203.14, we incorrectly cited Sec. 203.114.
                 This correcting amendment rule amends 9 CFR 201.108-1, 202.2,
                203.7, and 203.14 as intended in the final rule published August 30,
                2019, at 84 FR 45644.
