The flight crew of a B737NG discovered the commercially provided chart for the ILS rwy 35 sa CAT I at msp published an erroneous localizer frequency; 110.3; in the briefing portion of the page. The plan view of the approach; however; displays the correct frequency; 110.95. Worth of note; however; is that the identifier; ibma; is correct in both locations and; thus; an alert flight crew could be expected to note the incorrect identifier had they tuned 110.3 per the briefing text.

Narrative:
During cruise while preparing for the arrival and approach briefing; we noticed the localizer frequency for msp ILS 35 sa CAT I shows 110.3 in the briefing strip; but has 100.95 in the plan view. We could not find any chart revisions in the on board binder to rectify the discrepancy. We verified the correct frequency of 110.95 through ATC and the FMC. Additionally; it should be noted; the localizer frequency for runway 30L is 110.3. We were in VMC conditions performing a visual approach with ILS backup so it presented no issues; however; this may cause some confusion if a crew is flying an ILS in IMC.
