This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

Final rules; correction.
We published in the Federal Register of August 21, 2000, a document concerning revising our regulations for evaluating mental impairments. Inadvertently §§ 404.1520a and 416.920a each contains a word from the prior rules that we had revised in the final rules. This document corrects that oversight.
Effective on September 20, 2000.
Deborah Barnes, Social Insurance Specialist, Social Security Administration, 6401 Security Boulevard, Baltimore, MD 21235-6401, deborah.barnes@ssa.gov, (410) 965-4171 or TTY (410) 966-5609 for information about these rules.

We published a document in the Federal Register of July 18, 1991 (56 FR 33130), proposing revisions to §§ 404.1520a and 416.920a. In the final rules we published in the Federal Register of August 21, 2000 (65 FR 50746), we inadvertently used the word “slight” from the prior rules for the second point of the five-point scale in §§ 404.1520a(c)(4) and 416.920a(c)(4). We intended to use the word “mild,” as we had proposed. This correction makes §§ 404.1520a(c)(4) and 416.920a(c)(4) consistent with the remainder of the final rules.
In the Federal Register of August 21, 2000, make the following corrections. On page 50775, in the first column, in § 404.1520a(c)(4), the first sentence, correct “slight” to read “mild.” On page 50783, in the first column, in § 416.920a(c)(4), the first sentence, correct “slight” to read “mild.”

(4) When we rate the degree of limitation in the first three functional areas (activities of daily living; social functioning; and concentration, persistence, or pace), we will use the following five-point scale: None, mild, moderate, marked, and extreme. * * *
