SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We published in the Federal Register on July 22, 2005 (70 FR 42259-42261, Docket No. 04-068-1), an interim rule that amended the bovine tuberculosis regulations (9 CFR part 77) by removing New Mexico from the list of modified accredited advanced States in Sec. 77.9(a) and adding part of New Mexico to the list of modified accredited advanced zones in Sec. 77.9(b) and the remainder of New Mexico to the list of accredited free zones in Sec. 77.9(b). There is one error in that document. In Sec. 77.9, paragraph (a) lists the States which meet the criteria for modified accredited advanced States. When we set out the revised Sec. 77.9(a), we inadvertently included California on the list of modified accredited advanced States. California was designated as an accredited free State in an interim rule published in the Federal Register on April 15, 2005 (70 FR 19877-19878, Docket No. 05-010-1). This document corrects that error by removing California from the list in Sec. 77.9(a). List of Subjects in 9 CFR Part 77 Animal diseases, Bison, Cattle, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Transportation, Tuberculosis. 0 Accordingly, 9 CFR part 77 is corrected by making the following correcting amendments: PART 77--TUBERCULOSIS 0 1. The authority citation for part 77 continues to read as follows: Authority: 7 U.S.C. 8301-8317; 7 CFR 2.22, 2.80, and 371.4. 0 2. In Sec. 77.9, revise paragraph (a) to read as follows: Sec. 77.9 Modified accredited advanced States or zones. 0 (a) The following are modified accredited advanced States: Texas. * * * * * Done in Washington, DC, this 8th day of August 2005.
