[Docket No. 93F–0483]

Secondary Direct Food Additives

Permitted in Food for Human

Consumption; Correction

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration,

HHS.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug

Administration (FDA) is correcting the

final rule that appeared in the Federal

Register of March 3, 1995 (60 FR

11899). The document amended the

food additive regulations to provide for

the safe use of chlorine dioxide to

control the microbial population in

poultry process water. The document

was published with some errors. This

document corrects those errors.

Additionally, the agency is revising

some of the discussion in the preamble

for clarification. These changes are not

substantive and do not affect the

agency’s conclusion regarding the use of

chlorine dioxide in poultry process

water. The codified regulation remains

unchanged.

In FR Doc. 95–5275, appearing on

page 11899 in the Federal Register of

Friday, March 3, 1995, the following

corrections are made:

1. On page 11899, in the second

column, in the first full paragraph,

beginning in line 8, ‘‘reaction of

chlorine with sodium chlorite’’ is

corrected to read ‘‘oxidation of sodium

chlorite’’; in the same paragraph,

beginning in line 10, ‘‘acidification of

sodium chlorite’’ is corrected to read

‘‘disproportionation of sodium chlorite

in the presence of acids (Ref. 1).’’; and

in the same paragraph, beginning in line

16, ‘‘(Ref. 1).’’ is corrected to read ‘‘Ref.

1a).’’

2. On page 11899, in the second

column, in the second full paragraph, in

line 5, ‘‘of chlorine’’ is corrected to read

‘‘with chlorine’’.

3. On page 11899, in the second

column, in the fourth full paragraph, in

the 4th line from the bottom, ‘‘studies’’

is corrected to read ‘‘safety studies’’ and

in the 3rd line from the bottom

‘‘petitioner were’’ is corrected to read

‘‘petitioner on poultry were’’.

4. On page 11899, in the third

column, in the first paragraph, in line 3,

‘‘3 ppm’’ is corrected to read ‘‘100

ppm’’.

5. On page 11899, in the third

column, in the first paragraph,

beginning in line 5 and ending in line

21, ‘‘These data show that organic * *

* in drinking water.)’’ is corrected to

read ‘‘These data show that comparable

trace levels of chloroform and

dichloromethane were detected in both

untreated and chlorine dioxide-treated

poultry process water and that chlorine

dioxide treatment did not appear to

contribute to their formation.’’

6. On page 11899, in the third

column, in the first paragraph, in line

23, ‘‘20’’ is corrected to read ‘‘100’’, and

beginning in line 24, ‘‘no mutagenic’’ is

corrected to read ‘‘negligible

mutagenic’’.

7. On page 11899, in the third

beginning in line 8, ‘‘(No chlorite or

chlorate could * * * for the method

used).’’ is removed.

(Note: The finding of no significant

residues of chlorite and chlorate was not

based on chemical analysis. The agency

determined that any residues of chlorite

and chlorate remaining on poultry

would be converted to chloride (a major

component of table salt) during

cooking.)

8. On page 11900, in the first column,

in the first full paragraph, beginning in

line 3, ‘‘linoleic, linolenic, and

arachidonic acid)’’ is corrected to read
