SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Patent and Trademark Office published a
final rule entitled "Revision of Patent Fees for Fiscal Year 1999" in
the Federal Register of July 24, 1998 (63 FR 39731). The final rule
contains an error for a national stage fee in section 1.492(a)(5). The
fee amount for fiscal year 1999 was incorrectly stated as $395.00 for a
small entity, and $790.00 for other than a small entity. This correction
revises this national stage fee amount.

was published in the Federal Register of July 24, 1998 (63 FR 39731),
make the following correction. On page 39734, in the third column,
change the national stage fee amount for section 1.492(a)(5) to $345.00
for a small entity, and $690.00 for other than a small entity.
