-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document corrects a technical error that appeared in the 
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on April 17, 2008, entitled 
``Organizational Integrity of Entities Implementing Leadership Act 
Programs and Activities.''

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William R. Steiger, PhD, Office of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. 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.

II. 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.
Ann C. Agnew,
Executive Secretary to the Department.
