#  Eligibility Requirements for USDA Graded Shell Eggs

**AGENCY:**

Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.

**ACTION:**

Final rule; correction.

**SUMMARY:**

The Agricultural Marketing Service published in the *Federal Register* on April 19, 2006, a document regarding Voluntary Shell Egg Grading regulations. The final rule provides that shell eggs must not have been previously shipped for retail sale in order to be officially identified with a USDA consumer grademark and changes the definition of the term *eggs of current production* from 30 days to 21 days, thereby making eggs that were laid more than 21 days before the date packing ineligible to be officially identified with a USDA-consumer grademark. In that document, a number appearing in one of the columns in Table 1 was typed incorrectly. This document corrects that error.

**DATES:**

Effective on May 4, 2006.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**

Charles L. Johnson, Chief, Grading Branch, (202) 720-3271.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

The Agricultural Marketing Service published a document in the *Federal Register* on April 19, 2006 (71 FR 20288) amending regulations pertaining to Voluntary Grading of Shell Eggs. In that document, FR Doc. 06-3693, the number appearing in the Estimated value, Total value column should read 899,100, not 899,10. Therefore, in the *Federal Register* dated April 19, 2006, (71 FR 20288), in Table 1, under the heading Estimated value, in the Total value column “899,10” is corrected to read “899,100”.

Dated: April 28, 2006.

Lloyd C. Day,

Administrator,  Agricultural Marketing Service.
