SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In FR Doc. 04-12314 of June 2, 2004 (69 FR 31248), we inadvertently
published the 2004 pre-floor and pre-reclassified wage index tables
instead of the intended 2005 pre-floor and pre-reclassified wage index
tables.
The technical errors are identified and corrected in the Correction
of Errors section below.
II. Correction of Errors
In FR Doc. 04-12314 of June 2, 2004 (69 FR 31248), replace the
erroneous tables for Addenda A, B, and C on pages 31262-31275 with the

III. Waiver of Proposed Rulemaking
We ordinarily publish a notice of proposed rulemaking in the
Federal Register to provide a period for public comment before the
provisions of a Notice such as this takes effect. We can waive this
procedure, however, if we find good cause that notice and comment
procedure is impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest and incorporate a statement of the finding and the reasons for
it into the notice issued.
We find it unnecessary to undertake notice and comment rulemaking
because this notice merely provides technical corrections to the
regulations and makes no substantive changes to the regulation.
Therefore, we find good cause to waive notice and comment procedures.
