Technical Amendments to Federal
Employees’ Retirement System;
Present Value Conversion Factors for
Spouses of Deceased Separated
Employees; Corrections
Office of Personnel
Management.
ACTION: Correcting amendments.
AGENCY:
The Office of Personnel
Management published a final rule in
the Federal Register on August 23,
2011, (76 FR 52539) revising the factor
at 5 CFR 843.309(b)(2) used to convert
a lump sum basic employee death
benefit under 5 U.S.C. 8442(b) to 36
installment payments. That change
inadvertently stated that the revised
factor would apply to deaths occurring
on or after October 1, 2004. The revised
factor, however, applies to deaths
occurring on or after October 1, 2011.
Therefore, this document corrects the
final regulation by revising this date.
Additionally, this document corrects a
misspelling in the heading to Appendix
A to subpart C of part 843 that was
included with the rule.
DATES: Effective on September 7, 2011.

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
We are amending the
regulations regarding the commercial
transportation of equines to slaughter to
add a definition of equine for slaughter
and make other changes that will extend
the protections afforded by the
regulations to equines bound for
slaughter but delivered first to an
assembly point, feedlot, or stockyard.
This action will further ensure the
humane treatment of such equines by
helping to ensure that the unique and
special needs of equines in commercial
transportation to slaughter are met.
DATES: Effective Date: October 7, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
The regulations in 9 CFR part 88
(referred to below as the regulations)
contain minimum standards to ensure
the humane movement of equines for
slaughter via commercial transportation.
The regulations cover, among other
things, the food, water, and rest
provided to such equines prior to their
transportation to slaughter, standards
for conveyances used to transport
equines to slaughter, and certain
paperwork required to accompany
equines during such transportation. The
regulations also require the owner/
shipper of the equines to take certain
actions to ensure the safety and humane
treatment of equines during loading and
transportation for slaughter, including
seeking immediate assistance from an
equine veterinarian for any equine in
obvious physical distress. In addition,
the regulations prohibit the commercial
transportation to slaughtering facilities
