     On consideration of respondents' petition for rehearing, and the response thereto, it
is

     ORDERED, by the Court, that the petition for rehearing is granted in part, and the
opinion filed on August 1, 1997, is amended as follows: 

          Page 15, concluding paragraph, lines 4-6, delete the entire last
          sentence of the opinion and insert in lieu thereof the following: 
          "Accordingly, we vacate the challenged provisions of the Final
          Policy, paragraphs 2.4, 2.4.1, 2.4.1(a), 2.5.1, 2.5.1(a), 2.5.1(b),
          2.5.1(c), 2.5.1(d), 2.5.1(e), 2.5.3, 2.5.3(a), 2.6, the Secretary's
          supporting discussion in the preamble, and any other portions of
          the rule necessarily implicated by the holding of our opinion,
          and remand this proceeding to the Secretary.  Our action in this
          case does not reinstate any part of the Secretary's Interim Policy
          that the Final Policy was intended to replace."
