    In FR Doc. 93-31813, appearing on page 354, in the Federal Register 
of Tuesday, January 4, 1994, the following corrections are made:
    1. On page 354, in the third column, in the ``EFFECTIVE DATE:''

    2. On page 361, in the second column, in the 8th line from the 
bottom, the acronym ``EASDDL's'' is corrected to read ``ESADDI's''.
    3. On page 364, in the second column, in the first full paragraph, 
in line 7, the word ``is'' is removed; and in the third column, 
beginning in the 16th line from the bottom, the phrase ``label 
references values'' is corrected to read ``label reference values''.
    4. On page 366, in the first column, in the second full paragraph, 
in the 9th line from the bottom of the paragraph, the word 
``supplement'' is corrected to read ``supplements''.
    5. On page 368, in the second column, in lines 28 and 30, the word

    6. On page 370, in the third column, in the first full paragraph,

The Technical Amendments


Sec. 101.12  [Amended]

    8. Section 101.12 Reference amounts customarily consumed per eating 
occasion is amended in Table 2, in footnote 2, by removing the phrase 
``dry, fresh, and frozen pasta'' and adding in its place ``fresh and 
frozen pasta''.


Sec. 101.36  [Amended]

    9. Section 101.36 Nutrition labeling of dietary supplements of 
vitamins and minerals  is amended in paragraph (b)(4) introductory 
text, by removing the phrase ``molybdenum, selenium'' and adding in its 
place the phrase ``molybdenum, and selenium''; in paragraph (b)(4)(vi), 
by removing the phrase ``that is followed'' and adding in its place 
``and is followed''; in paragraph (c)(10), the sample label is amended 
by removing the entries ``Calcium 162 mg'' and ``Phosphorus 125 mg'' 
and adding in their place ``Calcium 0.162 g'' and ``Phosphorus 0.125 
g''; and in paragraph (g), the word ``mineral'' is revised to read 
``minerals''.
     Publication of this document constitutes final action on these 
changes under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553). Notice 
and public procedure and delayed effective date on these changes are 
unnecessary, because FDA is merely remedying editorial and 
nonsubstantive errors.

    Dated: May 4, 1994.

 Deputy Commissioner for Policy.
