CFR Correction

    In Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations, parts 170 to 199, 
revised as of April 1, 1998, make the following corrections:
    1. In Sec. 178.3130(b), on page 364, in the second column, in the 
first line of number 2 under Alkyl mono- and disulfonic acids, correct 
``be'' to read ``to'', and in the same column, at the end of the fourth 
paragraph, after the words ``such foods have a pH'', add the words 
``above 5.0''.
    2. In Sec. 178.3620(c)(3), on page 384, in the first column, in the 
first full paragraph, line 14, after the words ``Loosen the'' correct 
``top'' to read ``topmost'' and add the following:
 * * * * *
    ``few millimeters of each adsorbent layer with the end of a metal 
rod before the addition of the next layer. Continue packing in this 
manner until all the 14 grams of the adsorbent is added to the tube. 
Level off the top of the adsorbent by pressing down firmly with a flat 
glass rod or metal plunger to make the depth of the adsorbent bed 
approximately 12.5 centimeters in depth. Turn off the vacuum and remove 
the suction flask. Fit the 500-milliliter reservoir onto the top of the 
chromatographic column and prewet the column by passing 100 milliliters 
of isooctane through the column. Adjust the nitrogen pressure so that 
the rate of descent of the isooctane coming off the column is between 
2-3 milliliters per minute. Discontinue pressure just before the last 
of the isooctane reaches the level of the adsorbent. (Caution: Do not 
allow the liquid level to recede below the adsorbent level at any 
time.) Remove the reservoir and decant the 5-milliliter isooctane 
concentrate solution onto the column and with slight pressure again 
allow the liquid level to recede to barely above the adsorbent level. 
Rapidly complete the transfer similarly with two 5-milliliter portions 
of isooctane, swirling the flask repeatedly each time to assure 
adequate washing of the residue. Just before the final 5-milliliter 
wash reaches the top of the adsorbent, add 100 milliliters of isooctane 
to the reservoir and continue the percolation at the 2-3 milliliters 
per minute rate. Just before the last of the isooctane reaches the 
adsorbent level, add 100 milliliters of 10 percent benzene in isooctane 
to the reservoir and continue the percolation at the''

    2.In Sec. 178.3910(a)(2) table, on pages 406 and 407, in the first 
column, under ``List of substances'', correct the second, third, and 
fifth entries to read as follows:
 * * * * *
    -Butyl--hydroxypoly(oxypropyl-ene) (CAS Reg. No. 
9003-13-8) having a minimum molecular weight of 1000.
    -Lauroyl--hydroxpoly (oxyethylene) (CAS Reg. No. 
9004-81-3) having a minimum molecular weight of 200.
 * * * * *
    alpha-Alkyl-omega-hydroxypoly-(oxyethylene) produced by the 
condensation of 1 mole of C12-C15 straight chain 
primary alcohols with an average of 3 moles of ethylene oxide (CAS Reg. 
No. 68002-97-1).
