SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Need for Correction

On January 3, 1995, FSIS published in

the Federal Register (60 FR 174) an

amendment to its final nutrition

labeling regulations. The amendment

provided codified language for

provisions that previously crossreferenced those requirements that FSIS

adopted, which were contained in the

Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA)

final nutrition labeling regulations. In

the January 3, 1995, publication, FSIS

inadvertently omitted a provision in the

poultry products inspection regulations

that relates to the modified nutrition

label format. Paragraph (g)(4) of 9 CFR

381.409 (which was paragraph (f)(4) in

the nutrition labeling final rule (58 FR

632)) was omitted when revising 9 CFR

381.409. Therefore, FSIS is adding

paragraph (g)(4) to § 381.409 of the

poultry products inspection regulations.

List of Subjects 39 CFR Part 381

Food labeling, Poultry and poultry

products.

Accordingly, the codification of the

final rule on nutrition labeling of meat

and poultry products, published January

3, 1995, (60 FR 174), is corrected as

follows:

PART 381—POULTRY PRODUCTS

INSPECTION REGULATIONS

1. The authority citation for part 381

continues to read as follows:

Authority: 7 U.S.C. 138f; 7 U.S.C. 450; 21

U.S.C. 451–470; 7 CFR 2.17, 2.55.

2. Section 381.409 is corrected by

adding paragraph (g)(4) to read as

follows:

§ 381.409 Nutrition label content.

* * * * *

(g) * * *

(4) Presenting the required

Incorporation by Reference; Updating

of Text; Correction

AGENCY: Food Safety and Inspection

Service, USDA.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY: The Food Safety and

Inspection Service is amending the meat

and poultry products inspection

regulations to correct references to the

‘‘Official Methods of Analysis of the

Association of Official Analytical

Chemists’’ book of methods.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 24, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr.

Paula M. Cohen, Director, Regulations

Development, Policy, Evaluation and

Planning Staff, Food Safety and

Inspection Service, U.S. Department of

Agriculture, Washington, DC 20250–

3700, (202) 720–7164.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title 1 of

the Code of Federal Regulations (1 CFR

part 51) requires that an Agency seeking

approval of a change to a publication

that is approved for incorporation by

reference in the Code of Federal

Regulations publish notice of the change

in the Federal Register and amend the

Code of Federal Regulations. The

Agency must also ensure that a copy of

the amendment or revision is on file at

the Office of the Federal Register and

notify the Director of the Federal

Register in writing that the change is

being made.

On June 30, 1994, at 59 FR 33641, the

Food Safety and Inspection Service

published a final rule updating

references to the ‘‘Official Methods of

Analysis of the Association of Official

Analytical Chemists’’ (AOAC) book of

methods in various sections of the

Federal meat and poultry products

inspection regulations. 9 CFR 318.19(b)

contains two footnote reference errors.

These errors are corrected by removing

footnote 1 from the first sentence of

section 318.19(b) and renumbering

footnote 2 of section 318.19(b) as

footnote 1. In addition, there is also an

incorrect footnote number in section

318.21(b)(3)(viii). Footnote five to

section 318.21(b)(3)(viii) now reads as

footnote 4. Finally, footnote 4 of 9 CFR

381.153(b)(3)(viii) was inadvertently

omitted from the final regulations. It is

now included as part of the text of

section 381.153(b)(3)(viii).

The ‘‘Official Methods of Analysis of

the Association of Official Analytical

Chemists’’ (AOAC) book of methods has

been previously approved for

incorporation by reference. Because this

amendment merely corrects errors in

footnote references, it is found upon

good cause that public participation in

this rulemaking procedure is

unnecessary and good cause is found for

making the amendment effective less

than 30 days after publication in the

Federal Register (5 U.S.C. 553).

List of Subjects
