As part of a recent review, a technical error in the definition of ``resource-conserving crop'' was discovered. This document corrects the error. In addition, there was an inadvertent error and the definition for ``resource- conserving crop rotation'' needs to be reinstated; the definition remains unchanged from the interim rule as published in the Federal Register on November 12, 2019.
