In the Federal Register of October 12, 2017, in FR Doc. 2017-22042,
on page 47462, in the first column, the heading ``a. High Poverty Areas
(15 Points)'' should read ``a. High Poverty Areas (10 Points).''
Also, in the same FR Doc. 2017-22042, on page 47462, in the first
column, under the heading ``a. High Poverty Areas'' in the first
paragraph, the third sentence should begin as follows: ``In support of
this USDA initiative, RUS will award 10 priority points for projects
that serve communities in counties that are classified as High Poverty
or Persistent Poverty by the USDA Economic Research Service . . .''
