This paper is an updated version of the paper of similar title published in September 1998 21 modified to take into account recent experimental results and recommendations from CODATA 19 and also to incorporate a correction. The original abstract follows and is still valid. A 1960's suggestion by R. P. Feynman, concerning the possibility of carrying out a "finite" renormalization procedure in quantum electrodynamics, is here implemented using a newly discovered "formula" for alpha, the fine structure constant.
