Corrigendum
The following communication by the United States is being circulated:
_______________
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is correcting a proposed rule that appeared in the
Federal Register on 6 July 1999, and was notified as G/SPS/N/USA/173.  The document proposed to
require safe handling statements on labels of shell eggs that have not been treated to destroy
Salmonella microorganisms.  The document also proposed to require that, when held by retailestablishments, shell eggs be stored and displayed under refrigeration at a temperature of 7.2°C
(45° F) or less.  The document was published with some inadvertent errors.  This document corrects
those errors.  The final date for comments remains 20 September 1999.
