# [Amended]
**AGENCY:**
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Agriculture (USDA).
**ACTION:**
Correcting amendment.
**SUMMARY:**
In a final rule that was published in the *Federal Register* on February 25, 2020, and effective on March 26, 2020, we amended the regulations governing the National Veterinary Accreditation Program by, among other things, replacing all instances of the term “Veterinarian-in-Charge” with the term “Veterinary Official.” However, we inadvertently left two instances of the term “Veterinarian-in-Charge” in the regulations. This document corrects that oversight in the final rule.
**DATES:**
Effective July 13, 2020.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
On February 25, 2020, we published in the *Federal Register* (85 FR 10562-10565, Docket No. APHIS-2017-0065) a final rule that amended the National Veterinary Accreditation Program regulations in 9 CFR parts 160, 161, and 162. Among other changes to these regulations, we replaced the term “Veterinarian-in-Charge” with the term “Veterinary Official” throughout. However, in § 161.1(e)(4), we inadvertently left two instances of “Veterinarian-in-Charge” unchanged. This document corrects that error.
**List of Subjects in 9 CFR Part 161**

Accordingly, we are amending 9 CFR part 161 as follows:
**PART 161—REQUIREMENTS AND STANDARDS FOR ACCREDITED VETERINARIANS AND SUSPENSION OR REVOCATION OF SUCH ACCREDITATION**

**9 CFR Part 161**
2. In § 161.1, paragraph (e)(4) introductory text is amended by removing the words “Veterinarian-in-Charge” both times they appear and adding the words “Veterinary Official” in their place.
Done in Washington, DC, this 22nd day of June 2020 .
