On November 14, 2024, BSEE published final rules in the
Federal Register
(89 FR 89922) that modified paragraph (b) of § 250.1409. Paragraphs (b)(1) and (2), which were included in the proposed rule (88 FR 86285), were inadvertently and unintentionally left out of the final rule. This document corrects the final regulations to restore those two paragraphs.
