SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On September 30, 2002, the Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) published in the Federal Register (67 FR 61249) a direct final rule that revised the United States Standards for Milled Rice to establish a new level of milling degree, "hard milled," to the existing milling requirements and to eliminate reference to "lightly milled" from the milling requirements of U.S. Standards for Milled Rice.
Need for Correction
As published, the direct final rule contains errors which may prove to be confusing and needs to be clarified. In Section 868.310(f) U.S. Sample grade, the word "re" should read "or"; in § 868.311, the correct wording for that section should read "Grades and grade requirements for the class Second Head Milled Rice. (See also § 868.315)", instead of "Grades and grade requirements for the class Second Head Milled Rice. (See also § 868.305.)"; and in § 868.312, the correct wording for that section should read "Grades and grade requirements for the class Screenings Milled Rice. (See also § 868.315.)", instead of "Grades and grade requirements for the class Brewers Milled Rice. (See also § 868.315)."
