SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is correcting a final 
rule that appeared in the Federal Register of May 11, 1998 (63 FR

allowable levels in the bottled water quality standard for nine 
chemical contaminants, i.e., antimony, beryllium, cyanide, nickel, 
thallium, diquat, endothall, glyphosate, and 2,3,7,8-TCDD (dioxin), 
that was imposed in a final rule published on March 26, 1996. The 
document was published with some errors under the ``DATES'' section. 
This document corrects those errors.

2, 1999. Submit written comments by July 27, 1998. If no timely

document in the Federal Register no later than August 6, 1998, 
confirming the effective date of the direct final rule. If timely 
significant adverse comments are received, the agency will publish a 
document of significant adverse comment in the Federal Register 
withdrawing this direct final rule no later than August 6, 1998.
