SUMMARY: MMS published in the Federal Register of May 12, 1998 (63 FR 26361), a final rule commonly known as the ``GVS rule'' that updated production measurement, surface commingling, and security requirements and made other amendments. The MMS needs to make several minor corrections to the final regulations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This final rule is effective June 29, 1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 20, 1998 (63 FR 27677) MMS corrected the effective date of the final rule and made two other technical corrections to the final rule. As published and subsequently corrected, the final regulations still contain several errors which may prove to be misleading and are in need of correction.
