Scribe Union Carbide Corporation 270 Dark Avenue 11ev; York, Hew York 10017 Reference is made to your letter of October 31, 1963, relative to the status of an asbestos fiber as a component of paper and paperboard We concur that when used consistent with the principles of good manufacturing practice asbestos as an inert filler in paper and paperboard does not have food additive status. Therefore, there is no necessity for a regulation to prescribe the use of such asbestos fiber as an inert filler in such paper and paperboard. Sincerely yours, ' Frederick A.
