The Common Crop Insurance Regulations in 7 CFR part 457 were
revised by a final rule with request for comments published in the

made in that rule to the Area Risk Protection Insurance (ARPI) Basic
Provisions (7 CFR part 407), Common Crop Insurance Policy (CCIP) Basic
Provisions (7 CFR 457.8), and 20 Crop Provisions. In reviewing the
changes made, FCIC found some incorrect references, missing words,
grammatical and spelling errors, repetitive parenthetical titles, and
inadvertently missing text that was included in the amendatory
instructions. This document makes the corrections in the following
Provisions:
<bullet> Common Crop Insurance Policy Basic Provisions (7 CFR
457.8)
