Background

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) published a

document in the Federal Register of December 22, 1999 (64 FR 71947).

The authority citation for 27 CFR part 275 was incorrect in this

document. Also, we erroneously removed and reserved Secs. 275.39 and

275.117 and erroneously revised paragraph (a) of Sec. 275.81. This

document corrects these errors.

following corrections:

is corrected to read as follows:
