SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

A. Food Labeling (21 CFR Part 101)

    In the Federal Register of May 27, 2016 (81 FR 33742), we published 
a final rule entitled ``Food Labeling: Revision of the Nutrition and 
Supplement Facts Labels'' (the Nutrition Facts Label Final Rule). The 
Nutrition Facts Label Final Rule amended our labeling regulations for 
conventional foods and dietary supplements to provide updated nutrition 
information on the label to assist consumers in maintaining healthy 
dietary practices.
    In the Federal Register of December 21, 2018 (83 FR 65493), we 
issued a technical amendment pertaining to the Nutrition Facts label 
requirements. The technical amendments corrected errors that were made 
in sample labels, restored incorrect deletions, corrected the edition 
of a reference cited in the Nutrition Facts Label Final Rule, and 
corrected cross-references to other

[[Page 17711]]

regulations. However, certain errors remained, and so this rulemaking 
will provide additional corrections to sample labels and updates to 
office names.

B. Notification of an Adulterated or Misbranded Infant Formula (Sec.  
106.150 (21 CFR 106.150))

    In the Federal Register of February 10, 2014 (79 FR 7934), FDA 
published an interim final rule entitled ``Current Good Manufacturing 
Practices, Quality Control Procedures, Quality Factors, Notification 
Requirements, and Records and Reports, for Infant Formula'' (2014 
interim final rule). In the Federal Register of June 10, 2014 (79 FR 
33057), FDA issued a final rule, adopting, with some modifications, the 
2014 interim final rule where FDA established notification requirements 
for adulterated or misbranded infant formula. The 2014 interim final 
rule included an incorrect statutory citation in this provision, and so 
this rulemaking is intended to correct the citation.

C. Food Additives and GRAS Substances (21 CFR Parts 170, 172, 173, and 
184)

    Our regulations in parts 170, 172, 173, and 184 (21 CFR parts 170, 
172, 173, and 184) discuss the general principles for evaluating food 
additive safety, the use of food additives, and substances affirmed as 
GRAS. Our regulations reference office names and addresses that are no 
longer correct, reference an organization's name that is no longer 
correct, and include a potentially confusing reference to the Federal 
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act); consequently, this rulemaking 
will update names and addresses and clarify a reference to the FD&C 
Act.

D. Dietary Supplements (21 CFR Part 190)

    In the Federal Register of September 23, 1997 (62 FR 49886), FDA 
published a final rule entitled ``Premarket Notification for a New 
Dietary Ingredient.'' The final rule specifies the information a 
manufacturer or distributor must include in its premarket NDI 
notification and establishes the administrative procedures for these 
notifications. The regulation refers to an FDA office name and address 
that is no longer correct, and so this rulemaking will update the 
office name and address.

II. Description of the Technical Amendments

    We are making technical amendments to our regulations in parts 101, 
106, and 190 (21 CFR parts 101, 106, and 190) and parts 170, 172, 173, 
and 184. In general, part 101 pertains to food labeling, including the 
nutrition labeling of food. Part 106 pertains to current good 
manufacturing practice, quality control procedures, quality factors, 
records and reports, and notifications regarding infant formula. Part 
170 pertains to food additives while part 172 pertains to food 
additives permitted for direct addition to food for human consumption. 
Part 173 pertains to secondary food additives permitted in food for 
human consumption. Part 184 pertains to direct food substances affirmed 
as generally recognized as safe. Part 190 pertains to dietary 
supplements.

A. Food Labeling (Part 101)

    Since we published the technical amendments to the final rule in 
the Federal Register, we have become aware of additional changes or 
corrections that are needed to the Nutrition Facts label requirements. 
These changes or corrections are non-substantive; for example, Sec.  
101.9(d)(11) and (j)(5)(ii)(B) (21 CFR 101.9(d)(11) and (j)(5)(ii)(B)) 
show sample Nutrition Facts labels. In one case, the sample label 
included an extra word in the phrasing of a nutrient declaration. In 
the other case, the sample label included a number that did not comply 
with the rounding requirements for certain nutrients. The technical 
amendment revises the sample labels. We describe these and other 
changes to the Food Labeling regulations below.
1. Section 101.4 and Office Name Corrections
    Our regulations in 21 CFR 101.4 discuss the designation of food 
ingredients and state that certain references are available for 
examination at the ``Food and Drug Administration's Main Library.'' The 
technical amendment revises where the references are available for 
examination to be FDA's Dockets Management Staff.
2. Section 101.9(b)(7)(vi) and Addresses for Obtaining Reference 
Materials
    The Nutrition Facts Label Final Rule revised the name of the 
program office that is responsible for developing regulations and 
answering questions related to nutrition labeling, as well as for 
maintaining some references discussed throughout Sec.  101.9. The 
program office's former name was the Office of Nutritional Products, 
Labeling and Dietary Supplements, and the Nutrition Facts Label Final 
Rule changed the program office's name to the Office of Nutrition and 
Food Labeling. However, our regulations in Sec.  101.9(b)(7)(vi) 
continued to use the program office's former name. Therefore, this 
technical amendment revises Sec.  101.9(b)(7)(vi) by replacing ``Office 
of Nutritional Products, Labeling and Dietary Supplements'' with 
``Office of Nutrition and Food Labeling.''
3. Section 101.9(c)(8)(iv) and Units of Measure
    Our regulations in Sec.  101.9(c)(8)(iv) provide the Reference 
Daily Intakes (RDIs), nomenclature, and units of measure for various 
vitamins and minerals that are essential in human nutrition. The 
regulation lists the vitamins and minerals in a table, and footnotes to 
the table provide additional information. Footnote 3 discusses the 
units of measure that may be used for vitamin A. The footnote says, in 
part, that the abbreviation ``RAE'' stands for ``Retinol activity 
equivalents'' and that 1 microgram RAE equals 1 microgram retinol, ``2 
microgram supplemental [beta]-carotene'' or ``dietary 24 micrograms 
dietary [beta]-cryptoxanthin.'' The technical amendment replaces ``2 
microgram'' with ``2 micrograms'' and deletes the word ``dietary'' 
before ``24 micrograms.''
4. Section 101.9(d)(11)(iii) and the Tabular Format Label Illustration
    Our regulations in Sec.  101.9(d)(11)(iii) contain a sample 
Nutrition Facts label in a tabular format. However, the sample label 
contains the statement ``Includes 1g of Added Sugars.'' Under Sec.  
101.9(c)(6)(iii), however, the correct statement is ``Includes `X' g 
Added Sugars.'' Therefore, the technical amendment revises the sample 
label by removing the word ``of'' so that the statement reads 
``Includes 1g Added Sugars.''
5. Section 101.9(j)(5)(ii)(B) and ``Infants Through 12 Months of Age'' 
Label Illustration
    Our regulations in Sec.  101.9(j)(5)(ii)(B) contain a sample 
Nutrition Facts label for a food intended for infants through 12 months 
of age. The sample label declares the amount of sodium to be 74 mg. 
Under Sec.  101.9(c)(4), however, the amount of sodium declared on a 
Nutrition Facts label must be expressed to the nearest 5-milligram 
increment when the serving contains 5 to 140 milligrams of sodium. 
Therefore, the technical amendment provides a revised sample label 
correcting the amount of sodium from ``74mg'' to ``75mg.''
6. Section 101.9(j)(13)(i)(B), Footnote Requirements for Foods in Small 
Packages, and Minimum Type Size
    Our regulations in Sec.  101.9(j)(13)(i)(B) discuss requirements 
for foods in small

[[Page 17712]]

packages. The Nutrition Facts Label Final Rule revised Sec.  
101.9(j)(13)(i)(B) so that the Nutrition Facts label on small packages 
would not be required to bear a footnote explaining what the ``% Daily 
Value'' means and manufacturers could voluntarily include an 
abbreviated footnote of ``% DV = % Daily Value'' in a type size no 
smaller than 6 point. Additionally, these requirements include, among 
other things, the minimum type size for required information. The 
minimum type size is specified as ``no smaller than 6 point or all 
upper-case type of 1-16 inches.''
    The inclusion of the alternate footnote option was inadvertently 
omitted when changes to the same paragraph, as described in the Federal 
Register of December 1, 2014 (79 FR 71259), became effective on 
December 1, 2016. Consequently, we are restoring the alternate footnote 
option. The technical amendment also corrects the minimum type size, in 
inches, to ``\1/16\ inches'' rather than ``1-16 inches.''
7. Section 101.9(j)(13)(ii)(A)(1) and Tabular Display for Small 
Packages Label Illustration
    Our regulations in Sec.  101.9(j)(13)(ii)(A)(1) provide a sample 
label for the tabular display for small packages. The sample label 
included an asterisk (*) after the ``% DV'' heading but omitted any 
footnote or other explanation as to what the asterisk was referring. 
The sample label also included ``servings per container'' and ``serving 
size'' declarations that are not consistent with our rounding 
regulations in Sec.  101.9(b)(5)(i), which state that ``Cups shall be 
expressed in \1/4\- or \1/3\-cup increments.''
    Manufacturers may voluntarily include an abbreviated footnote ``% 
DV = % Daily Value'' for products in small packages, but because the 
sample label did not include the abbreviated footnote, the technical 
amendment removes the asterisk after the ``% DV'' heading in the sample 
label. The technical amendment also revises the serving size from ``\1/
6\ cup'' to ``\1/3\ cup'' and the servings per container from ``5 
servings per container'' to ``about 3 servings per container'' in the 
sample label.
8. Section 101.9(j)(13)(ii)(A)(2) and Linear Display for Small Packages 
Label Illustration
    Our regulations in Sec.  101.9(j)(13)(ii)(A)(2) provide a sample 
label for the linear display for small packages. The sample label 
included a ``% DV'' declaration of ``Potas. (5% DV).'' Under Sec.  
101.9(c)(8)(iii), however, the ``% DV'' for vitamins and minerals must 
be expressed to the nearest 2-percent increment up to and including the 
10-percent level. Therefore, the technical amendment changes ``Potas. 
(5% DV)'' to ``Potas. (6% DV)'' in the sample label.
9. Section 101.9(j)(13)(ii)(B) and Corrections to Abbreviation 
Instructions
    Our regulations in Sec.  101.9(j)(13)(ii)(B) allow for the use of 
``Vit.'' and ``Potas.'' as abbreviations for ``Vitamin'' and 
``Potassium,'' respectively, on the labels of small and intermediate-
sized packages. While our regulations in Sec.  101.9(d)(12) also show 
the use of these abbreviations on the standard vertical side-by-side 
label illustration, indicating that we intended to permit this use, we 
failed to state explicitly that these abbreviations are permitted on 
labels other than the labels of small and intermediate-sized packages. 
In addition, the regulations allow for the use of ``Total carb.'' as an 
abbreviation for ``Total carbohydrate'' on dual-column displays and 
refers to other requirements in Sec.  101.9 by their paragraph 
designations.
    The technical amendment revises Sec.  101.9(j)(13)(ii)(B) to 
clearly state that the use of ``Vit.'' and ``Potas.'' as abbreviations 
for ``Vitamin'' and ``Potassium,'' respectively, on the standard 
vertical side-by-side label display as shown in Sec.  101.9(d)(12), is 
permitted in addition to their use on the labels of small and 
intermediate-sized packages. The technical amendment also revises Sec.  
101.9(j)(13)(ii)(B) to include ``of this section'' at the end of the 
sentence pertaining to ``Total carbohydrate'' so that it refers to 
``paragraphs (e)(5), (e)(6)(i), and (e)(6)(ii) of this section.''
10. Section 101.45 and Office Name Correction
    Our regulations in 21 CFR 101.45 discuss the guidelines for 
voluntary nutrition labeling of raw fruits, vegetables, and fish and 
encourages submission of nutrient databases to the ``Office of 
Nutritional Products, Labeling and Dietary Supplements (HFS-800).'' The 
regulations also state that guidance is available from the ``FDA Office 
of Food Labeling.'' The technical amendment revises the office name to 
be ``Office of Nutrition and Food Labeling (HFS-800), Center for Food 
Safety and Applied Nutrition, Food and Drug Administration, 5001 Campus 
Dr., College Park, MD 20740.''
11. Section 101.80 and Office Name Correction
    Our regulations in 21 CFR 101.80 discuss dietary noncariogenic 
carbohydrate sweeteners and dental caries health claims. The 
regulations state that a reference is available for examination at the 
``Food and Drug Administration's Main Library.'' The technical 
amendment revises where the reference is available for examination to 
be FDA's Dockets Management Staff.
12. Section 101.81 and Office Name Correction
    Our regulations in 21 CFR 101.81 discuss soluble fiber from certain 
foods and risk of coronary heart disease health claims. The regulations 
state that certain references are available for examination at the 
``Food and Drug Administration's Main Library.'' The technical 
amendment revises where the references are available for examination to 
be FDA's Dockets Management Staff.
13. Section 101.83 and Office Name Correction
    Our regulations in 21 CFR 101.83 discuss plant sterol/stanol esters 
and risk of coronary heart disease health claims. The regulations state 
that certain references are available for examination at the ``Food and 
Drug Administration's Main Library.'' The technical amendment revises 
where the references are available for examination to be FDA's Dockets 
Management Staff.
14. Section 101.93 and Office Name Correction
    Our regulations in part 101, subpart F, discuss specific 
requirements for descriptive claims that are neither nutrient content 
claims nor health claims. In 21 CFR 101.93 the requirements for 
notifications for certain types of statements for dietary supplements 
are discussed and submissions are directed to the ``Office of 
Nutritional Products, Labeling and Dietary Supplements (HFS-810), 
Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, Food and Drug 
Administration, 5001 Campus Dr., College Park, MD 20740.'' The 
technical amendment revises the office name to be ``Office of Dietary 
Supplement Programs (HFS-810),'' which reflects the office's current 
name.
15. Section 101.108 and Office Name Correction
    Our regulations in 21 CFR 101.108 discuss temporary exemptions for 
purposes of conducting authorized food labeling experiments. The 
regulation states that written proposals should be sent to the 
``Division of Dockets Management (HFA-305).'' The technical amendment 
revises the office name to be ``Dockets Management Staff (HFA-305).''

[[Page 17713]]

B. Notification of an Adulterated or Misbranded Infant Formula (Sec.  
106.150)

    Our regulations in Sec.  106.150(a)(1) state that a manufacturer 
must promptly notify us when the manufacturer has knowledge that 
reasonably supports the conclusion that an infant formula processed by 
that manufacturer and that has left an establishment controlled by the 
manufacturer may not provide the nutrients required by section 412(i) 
of the FD&C Act. The regulation was intended to provide a corresponding 
U.S. Code cite for section 412(i) of the FD&C Act and identifies the 
U.S. Code cite as 21 U.S.C. 350d(i). The U.S. Code citation should have 
been 21 U.S.C. 350a(i). Therefore, the technical amendment replaces 
``21 U.S.C. 350d(i)'' with ``21 U.S.C. 350a(i).''

C. Food Additives (Parts 170, 172, 173, and 184)

1. Sections 170.35, 170.38, and 170.39--Office Name Correction and 
Correction Regarding Dockets Management
    The regulations in Sec. Sec.  170.35(b)(1) and (b)(2), 170.38(b)(1) 
and (b)(2), and 170.39(e) and (g) (21 CFR 170.35(b)(1) and (b)(2), 
170.38(b)(1) and (b)(2), and 170.39(e) and (g)) state that data, 
information, comments, or other documents are on display or available 
at the ``Division of Dockets Management.'' The technical amendment 
revises these regulations to replace ``Division of Dockets Management'' 
with ``Dockets Management Staff'' to reflect the office's current name.
    Similarly, our regulations in Sec.  170.39(d), (e), and (h) refer 
to the ``Office of Premarket Approval.'' The technical amendment 
replaces ``Office of Premarket Approval'' with ``Office of Food 
Additive Safety'' to reflect the office's current name.
2. Sections 172.105, 172.133, 172.250, 172.859, 172.878, and 172.882--
Office Name and Contact Information Correction
    Our regulations in 21 CFR 172.105, 172.133, 172.250, 172.859, 
172.878, and 172.882 discuss the use of anoxomer, dimethyl carbonate, 
petroleum naphtha, sucrose fatty acid esters, white mineral oil, and 
synthetic isoparaffinic petroleum hydrocarbons as food additives, 
respectively, and state that certain references are available from the 
``Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (HFS-200), Food and Drug 
Administration, 5001 Campus Dr., College Park, MD 20740.'' The 
technical amendment replaces all instances of ``Center for Food Safety 
and Applied Nutrition (HFS-200), Food and Drug Administration, 5001 
Campus Dr., College Park, MD 20740'' with ``Office of Food Additive 
Safety (HFS-200), Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, Food 
and Drug Administration, 5001 Campus Dr., College Park, MD 20740, 240-
402-1200.'' We are making this change to include the name and contact 
information of the office where the references are available.
3. Section 172.155--Office Name, Contact Information, and Other Minor 
Corrections
    Our regulations in 21 CFR 172.155 discuss the use of natamycin 
(also known as pimaricin) as a food additive. Section 172.155(c) states 
that a reference is available from the ``Division of Product Policy 
(HFS-206)'' and provides the office's address. The regulation also 
states that this reference is available for examination at the ``Food 
and Drug Administration's Main Library.'' The technical amendment: (1) 
updates the associated address of where the reference is available to 
be ``Office of Food Additive Safety (HFS-200), Center for Food Safety 
and Applied Nutrition, Food and Drug Administration, 5001 Campus Dr., 
College Park, MD 20740, 240-402-1200;'' and (2) revises where the 
reference is available for examination to be FDA's Dockets Management 
Staff.
4. Sections 172.167, 172.185, 172.320, 172.345, 172.379, 172.380, 
172.665, 172.712, 172.780, 172.810, 172.812, 172.831, 172.841, 172.862, 
and 172.867--Office Name and Contact Information Corrections
    Our regulations in 21 CFR 172.167, 172.185, 172.320, 172.345, 
172.379, 172.380, 172.665, 172.712, 172.780, 172.810, 172.812, 172.831, 
172.841, 172.862, and 172.867 discuss the use of silver nitrate and 
hydrogen peroxide solution, TBHQ, amino acids, folic acid (folacin), 
vitamin D2, vitamin D3, gellan gum, 1,3-butylene 
glycol, acacia (gum arabic), dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate, glycine, 
sucralose, polydextrose, oleic acid derived from tall oil fatty acids, 
and olestra as food additives, respectively. The regulations state that 
certain references are available for examination at the ``Food and Drug 
Administration's Main Library.'' The technical amendment revises where 
the references are available for examination to be FDA's Dockets 
Management Staff.
5. Sections 172.723--Office Contact Information and Other Minor 
Corrections
    Our regulations in 21 CFR 172.723 discuss the use of epoxidized 
soybean oil as a food additive. The regulations state that certain 
references may be examined at either the ``Office of Food Additive 
Safety (HFS-200), Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, Food 
and Drug Administration, 5001 Campus Dr., College Park, MD 20740, 240-
402-1200'' or the ``Food and Drug Administration's Main Library, 10903 
New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 2, Third Floor, Silver Spring, MD 20993, 301-
796-2039.'' The technical amendment revises where the references are 
available for examination to be FDA's Docket Management Staff.
6. Sections 172.736, 172.803, and 172.869--Office Contact Information 
and Other Minor Corrections
    Our regulations in 21 CFR 172.736, 172.803, and 172.869 discuss the 
use of glycerides and polyglycides of hydrogenated vegetable oils, 
advantame, and sucrose oligoesters as food additives, respectively. The 
regulations state that certain references are available from either the 
``Office of Food Additive Safety, 5001 Campus Dr., College Park, MD 
20740,'' the ``Office of Food Additive Safety, Center for Food Safety 
and Applied Nutrition (HFS-200), Food and Drug Administration, 5001 
Campus Dr., College Park, MD 20740,'' or the ``Office of Food Additive 
Safety (HFS-200), Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, 5001 
Campus Dr., College Park, MD 20740'' and are available for examination 
at the ``Food and Drug Administration's Main Library.'' The technical 
amendment: (1) updates the associated address of where the references 
are available to be the ``Office of Food Additive Safety (HFS-200), 
Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, Food and Drug 
Administration, 5001 Campus Dr., College Park, MD 20740, 240-402-
1200;'' and (2) revises where the references are available for 
examination to be FDA's Dockets Management Staff.
7. Sections 172.785, 172.809, 172.829, and 172.833--Office Contact 
Information and Other Minor Corrections
    Our regulations in 21 CFR 172.785, 172.809, 172.829, and 172.833 
discuss the use of Listeria-specific bacteriophage preparation, 
curdlan, neotame, and sucrose acetate isobutyrate as food additives, 
respectively. The regulations state that specific references are 
available from either the ``Office of Food Additive Safety (HFS-200),

III. The Administrative Procedure Act

    Publication of this document constitutes final action of these 
changes under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553). 
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) of the APA, an Agency may, for good cause, 
find (and incorporate the finding and a brief statement of reasons in 
the rules issued) that notice and public comment procedure on a rule is 
impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. We have 
determined that notice and public comment are unnecessary because these 
amendments only make technical or non-substantive changes, such as 
correcting sample labels, updating office or organization names, and 
updating addresses. For these reasons, we have determined that 
publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking and providing opportunity 
for public comment is unnecessary.
    In addition, FDA finds good cause for these amendments to become 
effective on the date of publication of this action. The APA allows an 
effective date less than 30 days after publication as provided by an 
Agency for good cause found and published with the rule (5 U.S.C. 
553(d)(3)). A delayed effective date is unnecessary in this case 
because the amendments do not impose any new regulatory requirements on 
affected parties. As a result, affected parties do not need time to 
prepare before the rule takes effect. Therefore, we find good cause for 
this correction to become effective on the date of publication of this 
action.

IV. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This final rule contains no collection of information. Therefore, 
clearance by the Office of Management and Budget under the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 is not required.

V. Analysis of Environmental Impact

    We have determined under 21 CFR 25.30(h) that this action is of a 
type that does not individually or cumulatively have a significant 
effect on the human environment. Therefore, neither an environmental 
assessment nor an environmental impact statement is required.

VI. Federalism

    We have analyzed this final rule in accordance with the principles 
set forth in Executive Order 13132. FDA has

[[Page 17716]]

determined that the rule does not contain policies that have 
substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship between 
the National Government and the States, or on the distribution of power 
and responsibilities among the various levels of government. 
Accordingly, we conclude that the rule does not contain policies that 
have federalism implications as defined in the Executive order and, 
consequently, a federalism summary impact statement is not required.

VII. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian 
Tribal Governments

    We have analyzed this rule in accordance with the principles set 
forth in Executive Order 13175. We have determined that the rule does 
not contain policies that have substantial direct effects on one or 
more Indian Tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government 
and Indian Tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities 
between the Federal Government and Indian Tribes. Accordingly, we 
conclude that the rule does not contain policies that have tribal 
implications as defined in the Executive Order and, consequently, a 
tribal summary impact statement is not required.
