SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is confirming the 
effective date of March 19, 1994, of the final rule that appeared in 
the Federal Register of February 16, 1994 (59 FR 7635; corrected 
February 22, 1994 (59 FR 8507)), and amended the color additive 
regulations to provide for the safe use of FD&C Red No. 40 and FD&C Red

in the area of the eye.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert L. Martin, Center for Food 
Safety and Applied Nutrition (HFS-217), Food and Drug Administration, 
200 C St. SW., Washington, DC 20204-0001, 202-254-9519.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of February 16, 1994 
(59 FR 7635; corrected February 22, 1994 (59 FR 8507)), FDA amended 21 
CFR 74.1340 and 21 CFR 74.2340 to provide for the use of FD&C Red No. 
40 and FD&C Red No. 40 Aluminum Lake for coloring drugs and cosmetics 
intended for use in the area of the eye.
    FDA gave interested persons until March 18, 1994, to file 
objections or requests for a hearing. The agency received no objections 
or requests for a hearing on the final rule. Therefore, FDA concludes 
that the final rule published in the Federal Register of February 16, 
1994, should be confirmed as corrected on February 22, 1994.

authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs (21 CFR

Accordingly, the amendments promulgated thereby became effective March 
19, 1994.
