[FR Doc. 2017–22182 Filed 10–12–17; 8:45 am]
Proposed rule; correction.
The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA, the Agency, or
we) is correcting a proposed rule that
published in the Federal Register of
September 13, 2017. That proposed rule
proposes to extend, for covered produce
other than sprouts, the dates for
compliance with the agricultural water
provisions in the ‘‘Standards for the
Growing, Harvesting, Packing, and
Holding of Produce for Human
Consumption’’ regulation. We are
placing a corrected copy of the proposed
rule in the docket.
DATES: October 13, 2017.

ACTION:
In the
Federal Register of September 13, 2017
(82 FR 42963), FDA published the
proposed rule ‘‘Standards for the
Growing, Harvesting, Packing, and
Holding of Produce for Human
Consumption; Extension of Compliance
Dates for Subpart E’’ with an omission.
In FR Doc. 2017–19434, appearing on
page 42963 in the Federal Register of
September 13, 2017, the following
correction is made:
On page 42967, in the third column,
the paragraph above the table is
corrected to include the fourth sentence
as follows: ‘‘There would be a reduction
in benefits associated with extending
the compliance dates as described
previously. Consumers eating nonsprout covered produce would not enjoy
the potential health benefits (i.e.,
reduced risk of illness) provided by the
provisions of subpart E until 2 to 4 years
(depending on the specific provision)
later than originally established in the
produce safety regulation. Thus, the
annualized total benefits to consumers,
discounted at 3 percent over 10 years,
would decrease by $108 million from
$1.033 billion to $925 million. Taking
into consideration both the reduction in
costs and the reduction in benefits,
using a 3 (7) percent discount rate, the
proposed rule would have negative
annualized net benefits of $96 ($97)
million. Estimated changes in benefits
and costs as a result of this proposed
extension are summarized in the
following table.’’
