AGENCY:

Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION:

Notification; petition for rulemaking; correction.

SUMMARY:

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is correcting a notice that appeared in the Federal Register of Wednesday, July 26, 2017 (82 FR 34615). The document announced that we have filed a petition, submitted by the Juice Products Association, proposing that the food additive regulations be amended to replace the current Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) percentage values of calcium in fruit juices and fruit juice drinks in the regulation for vitamin D₃ with absolute values and to update the specifications for vitamin D_3. The document was published with incorrect information on the absolute level of added calcium for fruit juice drinks that are fortified with calcium. This document corrects that error.

DATES:

This document is publishing in the Federal Register on August 22, 2017.

On page 34615, in the second paragraph under the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: caption, in the second column, the second paragraph is corrected to read, “These proposed changes would allow manufacturers of fruit juices and fruit juice drinks that are fortified with calcium to maintain the absolute level of added calcium at 330 milligrams (mg) and 100 mg, respectively, as established in our regulations at § 172.380(c)(1) and (2).”
