Background

The final regulation that is the subject of this correction added new Forage Seed Insurance Provisions that published on Thursday, May 29, 2014 (79 FR 30703-30708).

Need for Correction

As published, the final regulation contained clerical errors that may prove to be misleading and need to be clarified. In section 3(a), the word “ensure” was printed after the phrase “You may elect only one percentage of base price and one coverage level for each forage seed crop you elect to” rather than the word “insure”. In section 6(a)(1), a comma was inadvertently printed at the end of the paragraph. In section 8(a)(2) a comma was omitted between the phrase “For spring planted seed-to-seed year stands of forage seed crops” and the word “coverage.”
