## Abstract

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the food additive regulations to provide for the safe use of dimethylpolysiloxane coatings produced by cross-linking a vinyl- containing dimethylpolysiloxane with methylhydrogen polysiloxane and dimethylmethylhydrogen polysiloxane using a platinum catalyst. FDA is also amending the food additive regulations to provide for the safe use of 3,5-dimethyl-1-hexyne-3-ol, 1-ethynylcyclohexene, bis(methoxymethyl)ethyl maleate, methylvinyl cyclosiloxane, and tetramethyltetravinylcyclotetrasiloxane as optional polymerization inhibitors. This action is in partial response to a petition filed by Dow Corning Corp.
