SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The final regulations that are the subject of these corrections supersede 30 CFR 250, subpart A, General, regulations on the effective date and affect all operators and lessees on the Outer Continental Shelf.
The published final regulations contained a complete listing of all of the documents MMS has incorporated by reference in the 30 CFR part 250 regulations. The rulemaking also included revisions and reaffirmations of several documents. The table of documents incorporated by reference in § 250.198(e) of the published final rule contained some minor errors and typographical mistakes which we are correcting.
Need for Correction
As published, the final regulations contain errors which may prove to be misleading and are in need of clarification.
Correction of Publication
Accordingly, the publication on December 28, 1999, of the final regulations, which were the subject of FR Doc. 99-31869, is corrected as follows:
On page 72790, in the table in § 250.198(e), in column two for the three entries for API MPMS, Chapter 2, Section 2A; API MPMS, Chapter 3, Section 1A; and API MPMS, Chapter 3, Section 1B, the citation “§ 250.1202(1)(4)” is corrected to read “§ 250.1202(l)(4)”.
