SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

As part of the June 20, 2014 Federal Register (79 FR 35282) final rule amendatory text, the Department erroneously removed “22 CFR 34.7(a)(7)”, which does not exist. The Department's intent, however, was to remove 22 CFR 34.10(a)(7), for the reasons explained in the prior document. This document corrects that error.
