97 Explorer trouble code P0430

Check engine light is on my 97 Ford Explorer, 4.0, V-6, sohc, automatic, 124,000 miles. It is reading a trouble code of P0430. PCM has determined that the catalyst system efficiency for bank 2 is below threshold for the current engine operating conditions. Engine is idling rough at startup then levels out. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thank you.
