Correction

In the Federal Register of October 31, 2016, in FR Doc. 16-26240, on page 75433, in the third column, correct the last sentence before the heading “Operating Fee” to read: “Annual rent for a project easement 200 feet wide, centered on the transmission cable, is $70.00 per statute mile. For any additional acreage required, the lessee must also pay the greater of $5.00 per acre per year or $450.00 per year.”
