21 CFR Part 172

[Docket No. 99F-2533]


Food Additives Permitted for Direct Addition to Food for Human 
Consumption; Change in Specifications for Gum or Wood Rosin Derivatives 
in Chewing Gum Base; Correction

AGENCY:  Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION:  Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY:  The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is correcting a final 
rule that appeared in the Federal Register of July 23, 2001 (66 FR 
38152). The document amended the food additive regulations in 
Sec. 172.615 (21 CFR 172.615) to provide for their safe use as 
plasticizing materials (softeners) in chewing gum base. A word in the 
specification for glycerol ester of gum rosin was inadvertently 
misspelled. This document corrects that error.

EFFECTIVE DATE:  July 23, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Mary E. LaVecchia, Center for Food 
Safety and Applied Nutrition (HFS-215), Food and Drug Administration, 
Washington, DC 20204-0001, 202-418-3072.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  In the FR Doc. 01-18221, appearing in the 
Federal Register of Monday, July 23, 2001, the following correction is 
made:


Sec. 172.615  [Corrected]

    On page 38153, in Sec. 172.615 Chewing gum base, in paragraph (a), 
in the table entitled ``Plasticizing Materials (Softeners)'' in the 
entry for ``Glycerol ester of gum rosin,'' the word ``striping'' is 
corrected to read ``stripping.''

    Dated: October 15, 2001.

Director of Regulations Policy, Center for Food Safety and Applied 
Nutrition.
