AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION: Correction to final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document contains a correction to the final rule that was 
published on June 2, 1999 (64 FR 29550). The regulation relates to the 
designation of debt obligations issued by the Kingdom of Sweden as 
``exempted securities'' for the purpose of marketing and trading 
futures contracts on those securities in the United States.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 2, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joshua Kans, Attorney, Office of 
Market Supervision (``OMS''), Division of Market Regulation 
(``Division''), Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, 
NW, Washington, DC 20549-1001, at 202/942-0079.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 26, 1999, the Commission issued a 
final rule amending Rule 3a12-8 to designate debt obligations issued by 
the Kingdom of Sweden as ``exempted securities'' for the purpose of 
marketing and trading futures contracts on those securities in the 
United States. The amendment became effective on June 2, 1999, when the 
Federal Register published the final rule.
    As published, the final regulation contains an error which may 
prove to be misleading and is in need of clarification.

    Accordingly, the publication on June 2, 1999 of the final 
regulation that was the subject of FR Doc. 99-13927 is corrected as 
follows:

PART 240--[CORRECTED]

    On page 29553, in the text beginning on the second column and 
continuing onto the third column, the mandatory language for amendment 
2 is corrected to read:
    ``2. Section 240.3a12-8 is amended by removing the word ``or'' at 
the end of paragraph (a)(1)(xix), removing the period at the end of 
paragraph (a)(1)(xx) and adding ``;or'' in its place, and adding 
paragraph (a)(1)(xix), to read as follows:''
