What clears the catalytic converter readiness code?

Cleared some DTCs this morning, and as one would expect all the readiness codes tripped. All of them cleared on my way to work this morning except that one...

What do I have to do to clear it?

A wee bit of interstate driving - mine clears after about 15-16 miles of freeway speeds.

as others have pointed, drive it around, but stay in close loop mode...

No heavy foot. It will clear when it can differentiate consistently between the 2 02's in the stream
