NOTE TO CORRESPONDENTS                                Chris W. Lecos
March 5, 1993                                         (202-205-4144)

               FDA EXTENDS BOTTLED WATER COMMENT PERIOD 30 DAYS

    FDA has agreed to extend the comment period on a proposed regulation for   
defining the various types of bottled water from March 8 to April 7.  The      
proposed labeling definitions for "mineral," "spring," "artesian," "well,"     
"distilled" and "purified" bottled waters were first announced in the Federal  
Register on Jan. 5.
    FDA had received extension requests from various industry groups and       
companies saying they needed additional time to complete surveys of consumer   
perceptions of spring and other types of bottled water.
    The 30-day extension does not apply to FDA's other Jan. 5 proposals that   
would set new limits for various chemical and other contaminants in bottled    
water.
