#  [Corrected]

**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 July 23, 2001 (66 FR 38152). The document amended the food additive regulations in § 172.615 (21 CFR 172.615) to provide for their safe use as plasticizing materials (softeners) in chewing gum base. A word in the specification for glycerol ester of gum rosin was inadvertently misspelled. This document corrects that error.

**EFFECTIVE DATE:**

July 23, 2001.

In the FR Doc. 01-18221, appearing in the *Federal Register* of Monday, July 23, 2001, the following correction is made:

On page 38153, in § 172.615 *Chewing gum base* , in paragraph (a), in the table entitled “Plasticizing Materials (Softeners)” in the entry for “Glycerol ester of gum rosin,” the word “striping” is corrected to read “stripping.”
