SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 13, 1996, FSIS published ``Fee 
Increase for Inspection Services'' (61 FR 65459). Although the preamble 
discussion of the fee changes was correct, the regulatory amendments 
were incorrect. The regulation continues to list the old fees. This 
notice corrects this oversight.
