DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
21 CFR Parts 130 and 155
Food Standards; Technical Amendments
AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Final rule; technical amendments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending its
regulations for canned vegetable products by correcting certain
inadvertent errors; and its regulations for temporary marketing permits
by correcting a mailing address used for filing such applications. This
action is being taken to improve the accuracy of the regulations. These
actions are editorial in nature and do not change the substance of any
of the regulations in question.
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 31, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nannie H. Rainey, Center for Food
Safety and Applied Nutrition (HFS-158), Food and Drug Administration,
200 C St. SW., Washington, DC 20204, 202-205-5099.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA has discovered that certain inadvertent
errors have been incorporated into the agency's codified regulations
pertaining to temporary marketing permits and to canned tomatoes and
certain other canned vegetables. Because these errors are
nonsubstantive, FDA finds that there is good cause to correct them
without engaging in rulemaking. Given the nature of the errors, notice
and public procedure are unnecessary under the Administrative Procedure
Act (5 U.S.C. 553). This final rule addresses the following errors in
the regulations:
1. In Sec. 130.17(c) (21 CFR 130.17(c)), the agency is correcting
the office name and address for the place where temporary marketing
permit applications should be filed. As a result of the 1992
reorganization of the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, the
correct name and address is the Food Standards Branch, Office of Food
Labeling, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (HFS-158), 200 C
St. SW., Washington, DC 20204. Accordingly, FDA is correcting
Sec. 130.17(c).
2. In Sec. 155.190(a)(3)(iv) (21 CFR 155.190(a)(3)(iv)), the
reference to ``Secs. 155.191 and 155.192,'' should be changed to
``Sec. 155.191.'' Section 155.192 was removed in the Federal Register
of January 28, 1983 (48 FR 3946 at 3956) and the effective date
confirmed in the Federal Register of March 31, 1993 (58 FR 16771).
3. In 21 CFR 155.200(g), the reference to ``Sec. 101.122'' is
incorrect. The correct reference is ``Sec. 101.22''.
List of Subjects
21 CFR Part 130
Food additives, Food grades and standards.
21 CFR Part 155
Food grades and standards, Vegetables.
Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under
the authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, 21 CFR

2. Section 130.17 Temporary permits for interstate shipment of
experimental packs of food varying from the requirements of definitions
and standards of identity is amended in the introductory text of
paragraph (c) by removing the words ``Deputy Director, Division of Food
Chemistry and Technology, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition
(HFF-410), Food and Drug Administration'' and adding in its place
``Chief, Food Standards Branch, Office of Food Labeling, Center for
Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (HFS-158)''.
