ACTION: Final rule; correction.
AGENCY:
The Agricultural Marketing

of the Organic Livestock and Poultry
Standards (OLPS) final rule published
on November 2, 2023. The corrections
are intended to improve readability and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OLPS
final rule published on November 2,
2023 (88 FR 75394), delayed December
13, 2023 (88 FR 86259), amends the
USDA organic regulations related to the
production of livestock, including
poultry, marketed as organic. This
action corrects five errors in the OLPS
regulatory text published on November
2, 2023, to improve the readability and
clarity of the rule. The corrections do
not change the meaning of the
regulations.
Section 553 of the Administrative
Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C.553(b)(B),
provides that, when an agency for good
cause finds that notice and public
procedure are impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest, an agency may issue a rule
without providing notice and an
opportunity for public comment. AMS
has determined that there is good cause

for making these corrections final
without prior proposal and opportunity
for comment because AMS is merely
correcting minor non-substantive errors
and omissions in the regulatory text.
Accordingly, AMS finds that there is
good cause to dispense with notice and
public procedure under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B). With respect to the effective
date, this final rule correction is not
substantive in nature, and there is good
cause to dispense with a 30-day delayed
effective date. This final rule correction
will be effective January 12, 2024, in
conjunction with the entirety of the
rule, as provided by FR Doc. 2023–
