    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of March 7, 1994 (59 
    FR 10578), FDA amended 21 CFR 73.200 of the color additive regulations 
    to provide for the safe use of synthetic iron oxide as a color additive 
    in human food, specifically sausage casings.
        FDA gave interested persons until April 6, 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 has concluded 
    that the final rule published in the Federal Register of March 7, 1994, 
    should be confirmed.
