**AGENCY:**

Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.

**ACTION:**

Correcting amendment.

**SUMMARY:**

The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) published an interim final rule in the *Federal Register* on November 9, 2001 (66 FR 56599), which decreased the assessment rate for tomatoes grown in Florida. The interim final rule fixed the assessment rate at $0.20 per 25-pound container or equivalent of assessable tomatoes for the 2001-02 and subsequent fiscal periods. The rate should have been fixed at $0.02 per 25-pound container or equivalent. This document corrects the assessment rate.

**EFFECTIVE DATE:**

March 31, 2003.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

**Background**

AMS published an interim final rule in the *Federal Register* on November 9, 2001 (66 FR 56599), decreasing the assessment rate for tomatoes grown in Florida [7 CFR part 966]. The interim final rule was subsequently finalized without change in a document published on March 13, 2002 (67 FR 11213).

**Need for Correction**

As published, the assessment rate was incorrectly identified as $0.20 per 25-pound container or equivalent. This correction document replaces the incorrect assessment rate with the correct assessment rate of $0.02 per 25-pound container or equivalent for Florida tomatoes.

**List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 966**

2. In § 966.234, the figure “$0.20” is revised to “$0.02”.
