Food Labeling: Nutrient Content Claims, Definition of Term: 
Healthy

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.

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

    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is correcting a proposed 
rule that appeared in the Federal Register of February 12, 1996 (61 FR 
5349). The document proposed to amend the food labeling regulations to 
permit certain processed fruits and vegetables and enriched cereal-
grain products that conform to a standard of identity to bear the term 
``healthy.'' The document was published with an inadvertent error. This 
document corrects that error.

DATES: Written comments by July 18, 1996. FDA proposes that any final 
rule that may issue based on this proposal become effective on the date 
of publication in the Federal Register.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments to the Dockets Management Branch 
(HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration, 12420 Parklawn Dr., rm. 1-23, 
Rockville, MD 20857.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Felicia B. Satchell, Center for Food 
Safety and Applied Nutrition (HFS-158), Food and Drug Administration,

    In FR Doc. 96-2980, appearing on page 5349 in the Federal Register 
of Monday, February 12, 1996, the discussion that appears on page 5354 
in the first column under the heading ``V. Environmental Impact'' is 
corrected by removing the paragraph that appears there in its entirety 
and adding in its place ``The agency has determined under 21 CFR 
25.24(a)(11) 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.''

Associate Commissioner for Policy Coordination.
