Safety and Applied Nutrition (HFS-158), Food and Drug Administration, 
200 C St. SW., Washington, DC 20204, 202-205-5099.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of April 14, 1994 
(59 FR 17689), FDA published a final rule that amended the standard of 
identity for evaporated milk (21 CFR 131.130) to: (1) Reduce the 
minimum milkfat content requirement from 7.5 percent to 6.5 percent by 
weight; (2) reduce the minimum total milk solids content requirement 
from 25 percent to 23 percent by weight; and (3) add a minimum milk 
solids-not-fat content requirement of 16.5 percent by weight. This 
action was based on a petition from the American Dairy Products 
Institute, 130 North Franklin St., Chicago, IL 60606.
    FDA gave interested persons until May 16, 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 finds that the 
final rule published in the Federal Register of April 14, 1994, should 
be confirmed.
