Due to a procedural error, the latest prices for the US Northeast region was not incorporated into the comparative prices for the quarter. This impacted the calculations for the three markets below.

FP-RWD-0025 Roundwood, Hardwood, delivered US Northeast, Comparative Regional Price, USD/GT, which was published incorrectly at $50 per gross ton, this has been corrected to $51 per ton.
