along with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), 
published a joint notice of final determination regarding adoption of 
the 2009 edition of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) 
for single family homes and the 2007 edition of the American Society of 
Heating, Refrigerating and Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) 90.1 for 
multifamily buildings. A clerical error in production resulted in the 
wrong CFR attribution for USDA in the document's heading. This 
correction carries the proper CFR citation in its heading.

beginning May 6, 2015.

toll-free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 6, 2015, at 80 FR 25901, USDA and HUD 
published a joint notice of final determination. A clerical error in 
production caused the document to publish with USDA's CFR citation in 
the heading as ``7 CFR Chapter 0,'' and no agencies were assigned to 
that chapter. As represented in the heading of this correction, the 
correct USDA agencies and CFR citation are Rural Housing Service, Rural 
Business-Cooperative Service, Rural Utilities Service, and Farm Service 
Agency and 7 CFR part 1924.
