In that final rule, we redesignated the section containing the standards for performing accredited veterinarian duties, but we neglected to update citations of that section elsewhere in 9 CFR chapter I. This document corrects those errors. EFFECTIVE DATE: September 22, 2010. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Todd Behre, National Veterinary Accreditation Program, VS, APHIS, 4700 River Road Unit 200, Riverdale, MD 20737; (301) 851-3401. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background In a final rule that was published in the Federal Register on December 9, 2009 (74 FR 64998-65013, Docket No. APHIS-2006-0093), and effective on February 1, 2010, we amended the National Veterinary Accreditation Program (NVAP) regulations, adding new provisions and reorganizing others. As part of the reorganization, we redesignated what had been Sec. 161.3, ``Standards for performing accredited duties,'' as Sec. 161.4. However, we neglected to update two references to Sec. 161.3 elsewhere in the NVAP regulations, specifically in Sec. 162.11 and paragraph (a) of Sec. 162.12. In addition, paragraph (a) of 9 CFR 91.3, which discusses general export requirements for livestock, refers to certification of test results in accordance with paragraph (k) of Sec. 161.3. This document corrects those citations to refer instead to Sec. 161.4. List of Subjects 9 CFR Part 91 Animal diseases, Animal welfare, Exports, Livestock, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Transportation. 9 CFR Part 162 Administrative practice and procedure, Veterinarians. 0 Accordingly, we are amending 9 CFR parts 91 and 162 as follows: PART 91--INSPECTION AND HANDLING OF LIVESTOCK FOR EXPORTATION 0 1.
