Document Number: E6-16944
Type: Rule
Date: 2006-10-13

This document corrects changes made by final rules published on June 6, 2006, and August 30, 2006, amending the regulations for the Marketing Assistance Loan (MAL) and Loan Deficiency Payment (LDP) Program of the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC). A correction is needed because the final rule of June 6 erroneously deleted provisions required by Cotton Marketing Cooperative Associations and an amendatory instruction in the August 30, 2006 rule, intended to correct that error, inadvertently amended the wrong sections of the regulations.
