(FDA)is amending its food additives regulations to correct two typographical errors in the Chemical Abstracts Service
(CAS)registry number. This document corrects those errors. DATES: This rule is effective June 13, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the **Federal Register** of February 11, 2000 (65 FR 6889), the agency amended the food additive regulations to provide for the safe use of:
(1)1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane, and
(2)a mixture of 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, optionally containing magnesium nitrate, as antimicrobial agents in emulsion-based silicone coating formulations. The CAS registry number for 2-methyl-4-isothiazol-3-one was incorrectly published. The agency is amending both 21 CFR 175.300 and 175.320 to correct those errors. List of Subjects in 21 CFR Part 175 Adhesives, Food additives, Food packaging.

(iii)Adjuvants (release agents, waxes, and dispersants): * * * * * * * 5-Chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (CAS Reg. No. 26172-55-4) and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (CAS Reg. No. 2682-20-4) mixture, at a ratio of 3 parts to 1 part, respectively, manufactured from methyl-3-mercaptopropionate (CAS Reg. No. 2935-90-2) and optionally containing magnesium nitrate (CAS Reg. No. 10377-60-3) at a concentration equivalent to the isothiazolone active ingredients (weight/weight). For use only as an antimicrobial agent in emulsion-based silicone coatings at a level not to exceed 50 milligrams per kilogram (based on isothiazolone active ingredient) in the coating formulation. * * * * * * * Dated: June 7, 2000.
