(We use the terms "phthalates" and "orthophthalates" interchangeably in this notification to refer to the subset of phthalates substituted in the "ortho" position).

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is amending the food additive regulations to no longer provide for the use of 25 plasticizers in various food contact applications because these uses have been abandoned.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is revising the quality standard for bottled water to specify that bottled water to which fluoride is added by the manufacturer may not contain fluoride in excess of 0.7 milligrams per liter (mg/L), which available data suggests provides an optimal balance between the prevention of dental caries and the risk of dental fluorosis. This final rule revises the current allowable levels, which range from 0.8 to 1.7 mg/L, for fluoride in domestically packaged and imported bottled water to which fluoride is added. We are taking this action to make the quality standard regulation for fluoride added to bottled water consistent with the 2015 recommendation by the US Public Health Service (PHS) for community water systems that add fluoride for the prevention of dental caries. This action will not affect the allowable levels for fluoride in bottled water to which fluoride is not added by the manufacturer (such bottled water may contain fluoride from its source water). This rule is effective 21 June 2022. The compliance date is 17 October 2022.

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to amend the US poultry products inspection regulations to rescind several regulations related to the inspection and condemnation of poultry carcasses affected with any of the forms of avian leukosis complex. Currently, the US poultry products inspection regulations require that carcasses of poultry affected with any one or more of the several forms of the avian visceral leukosis complex be condemned (9 CFR 381.82). FSIS is proposing to rescind 9 CFR 381.82, and under the proposed rule, carcasses affected with avian leukosis would be addressed by 9 CFR 381.87, which provides that any organ or other carcass part affected with tumors may be trimmed and that the unaffected parts of the carcass may be inspected and passed. FSIS is also proposing to rescind 9 CFR 381.36(f)(3), the regulation that requires New Poultry Inspection System (NPIS) young chicken establishments in the United States to provide a leukosis inspection area along the slaughter line, as well as 9 CFR 381.76(b)(6)(iv), the regulation that prescribes inspection procedures for avian visceral leukosis in NPIS young chicken establishments. These regulations do not apply to US turkey establishments operating under the NPIS because avian visceral leukosis is extremely rare in turkeys.  FSIS invites interested persons to submit comments on this notice. Please submit comments on or before 13 May 2022.
