    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    On June 6, 2012, the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) published a final rule (77 FR 33290) to address the 2012 Sunset Review of substances on the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances (National List).

    This rule amended the restrictive annotation to the listing for colors at 7 CFR 205.606(d). As published, the modification to the introductory text for this listing for colors at § 205.606(d) inadvertently removed paragraphs (d)(1) through (d)(19). These paragraphs are necessary to identify the specific nonorganic colors that can be used as ingredients in processed products labeled as “organic” if organic forms are not commercially available. This document corrects the final regulations by reinserting paragraphs (d)(1) through (19).
