12. On page 56586, in Appendix H to Part 1002, in the first column, footnote 959 should read as follows:

For a financial institution with fewer than 30 entries in its small business lending application register, the full sample size is the financial institution's total number of entries. The threshold number for such financial institutions remains three. Accordingly, the threshold percentage will be higher for financial institutions with fewer than 30 entries in their registers.
