21 CFR Part 178
[Docket No. 91F-0399]
Indirect Food Additives: Adjuvants, Production Aids, and
Sanitizers
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 May 14, 1999 (64 FR
26281). The document amended the food additive regulations to provide
for the safe use of 1,3-propanediamine, N,N''-1,2-ethanediylbis-,
polymer with N-butyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinamine and 2,4,6-
trichloro-1,3,5-triazine as a light stabilizer for polypropylene and
polyethylene. The document was published with an error. This document
corrects that error.
DATES: Effective on May 14, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of May 14, 1999 (64
FR 26281), FDA amended the food additive regulations to provide for the
safe use of 1,3-propanediamine, N,N''-1,2-ethanediylbis-, polymer with
N-butyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinamine and 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-
triazine as a light stabilizer for polyethylene and polypropylene
complying with 21 CFR 177.1520. It has been recently called to the
attention of the agency that the Chemical Abstract Services (CAS)
Registry has a slightly different nomenclature for the additive 1,3-
propanediamine, N,N''-1,2-ethanediylbis-, polymer with N-butyl-2,2,6,6-
tetramethyl-4-piperidinamine and 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine (CAS
Reg. No. 136504-96-6). The preferred nomenclature for the additive is
1,3-propanediamine, N,N''-1,2-ethanediylbis-, polymer with 2,4,6-
trichloro-1,3,5-triazine, reaction products with N-butyl-2,2,6,6-
tetramethyl-4-piperidinamine. Therefore, the agency is amending 21 CFR
178.2010 to correct the nomenclature of the additive.
In FR Doc. 99-12177, appearing on page 26281, in the Federal
Register of Friday, May 14, 1999, the following correction is made:
Sec. 178.2010 [Corrected]
1. On page 26282, in the table in paragraph (b), under the heading
``Substances'' ``1,3-propanediamine, N,N''-1,2-ethanediylbis-, polymer
with N-butyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinamine and 2,4,6-trichloro-
1,3,5-triazine (CAS Reg. No. 136504-96-
[[Page 46133]]
6)'' is corrected to read ``1,3-propanediamine, N,N''-1,2-
ethanediylbis-, polymer with 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine, reaction
products with N-butyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinamine (CAS Reg.
No. 136504-96-6)''.
