SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of May 20, 2005 (70 FR 29214), FDA and USDA jointly issued a proposed rule entitled ‘‘Food Standards; General Principles and Food Standards Modernization,’’ as a first step in instituting a process to modernize FDA definitions and standards of identity (and standards of quality and fill of container) consistent with section 401 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 341), and USDA’s definitions and standards of identity or composition under the Federal Meat Inspection Act and the Poultry Products Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 607(c) and 457(b)) (and standards of fill of container). The proposed rule, if finalized, would establish general principles that FDA and USDA would consider when determining whether to establish, revise, or eliminate a food standard. Interested persons were originally given until August 18, 2005, to comment on the proposed rule. In the Federal Register of February 21, 2020 (85 FR 10107), we announced that we were reopening the comment period for an additional 60 days so that we could receive new data, information, or further comments only on FDA-specific aspects of the proposed rule, including 13 general principles which we would consider when establishing, revising, or eliminating a food standard. The reopened comment period was scheduled to end on April 21, 2020. We have received requests for an extension of the comment period for the proposed rule, which conveyed concern that the current 60-day comment period does not allow sufficient time to develop a meaningful or thoughtful response to the proposed rule. FDA has considered the requests and is extending the comment period for the proposed rule for 90 days, until July 20, 2020. We believe that a 90-day extension allows adequate time for interested persons to submit comments without significantly delaying rulemaking on these important issues. Dated: April 14, 2020. Lowell J. Schiller, Principal Associate Commissioner for Policy.

ACTION: Proposed rule; correction. AGENCY: This document corrects information displayed in a Table within the proposed rule published in the Federal Register on March 27, 2020. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a proposed rule determining that the Greater Connecticut Serious 8-hour ozone nonattainment area had attained the 2008 8-hour National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone. DATES: April 20, 2020. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth Townsend, Air Quality SUMMARY: Branch, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, EPA Region 1, 5 Post Office Square, Suite 100 (Mail code: 05–2), Boston, MA 02109–3912, telephone number: (617) 918–1614, email townsend.elizabeth@epa.gov. The EPA issued a proposed rule in the Federal Register on March 27, 2020 (85 FR 17301). There was an error in ‘‘Table 1’’ contained within section ‘‘II. Analysis of Air Quality Data’’ of the March 27, 2020 proposed rule. The table erroneously listed three data points in the ‘‘2016’’ column for Abington, Cornwall, and East Hartford. Table 1 should have listed the fourth-high 8-hour ozone average concentration in 2016 for Abington as 0.067, Cornwall as 0.074, and East Hartford as 0.072. The corrected data reflects EPA’s concurrence on Connecticut’s exceptional event demonstrations from the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire that caused elevated ozone levels throughout Connecticut. The fourth-high 8-hour ozone average concentrations exceeded the 2008 8-hour NAAQS at the Cornwall monitoring station, and elevated ozone concentrations at the Abington and East Hartford stations. This corrective action does not affect the calculated design values in Table 2, which determine if an area is meeting the NAAQS. This correction notice does not otherwise change the remaining portions of the March 27, 2020 notice of proposed rulemaking. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Correction In FR Doc. 2020–06273 appearing on pages 17301–17303 in the Federal Register of Friday, March 27, 2020, the following correction is made: On page 17302, in Table 1, under the heading entitled ‘‘2016’’ remove the text ‘‘0.074’’ associated with Abington and replace the text with ‘‘0.067’’, remove the text ‘‘0.078’’ associated with Cornwall and replace the text with ‘‘0.074’’, and remove the text ‘‘0.075’’ associated with East Hartford and replace the text with ‘‘0.072’’.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of May 20, 2005 (70 
FR 29214), FDA and USDA jointly issued a proposed rule entitled ``Food 
Standards; General Principles and Food Standards Modernization,'' as a 
first step in instituting a process to modernize FDA definitions and 
standards of identity (and standards of quality and fill of container) 
consistent with section 401 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 
(21 U.S.C. 341), and USDA's definitions and standards of identity or 
composition under the Federal Meat Inspection Act and the Poultry 
Products Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 607(c) and 457(b)) (and standards of 
fill of container). The proposed rule, if finalized, would establish 
general principles that FDA and USDA would consider when determining 
whether to establish, revise, or eliminate a food standard.
    Interested persons were originally given until August 18, 2005, to 
comment on the proposed rule. In the Federal Register of February 21, 
2020 (85 FR 10107), we announced that we were reopening the comment

proposed rule, including 13 general principles which we would consider 
when establishing, revising, or eliminating a food standard. The 
reopened comment period was scheduled to end on April 21, 2020.
    We have received requests for an extension of the comment period 
for the proposed rule, which conveyed concern that the current 60-day 
comment period does not allow sufficient time to develop a meaningful 
or thoughtful response to the proposed rule.
    FDA has considered the requests and is extending the comment period 
for the proposed rule for 90 days, until July 20, 2020. We believe that 
a 90-day extension allows adequate time for interested persons to 
submit comments without significantly delaying rulemaking on these 
important issues.
