Subpart A [Reserved]



    Acrylamide-acrylic acid resins may be safely used as components of 
articles intended for use in producing, manufacturing, packing, 
processing, preparing, treating, packaging, transporting, or holding 
food, subject to the provisions of this section.
    (a) Acrylamide-acrylic acid resins are produced by the 
polymerization of acrylamide with partial hydrolysis or by the 
copolymerization of acrylamide and acrylic acid.
    (b) The acrylamide-acrylic acid resins contain less than 0.2 percent 
residual monomer.
    (c) The resins are used as adjuvants in the manufacture of paper and 
paperboard in amounts not to exceed that necessary to accomplish the 
technical effect and not to exceed 2 percent by weight of the paper or 
paperboard.
