**AGENCY:**

Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

**ACTION:**

Final rule; confirmation of effective date.

**SUMMARY:**

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is confirming the effective date of August 8, 2000, for the final rule that appeared in the *Federal Register* of July 6, 2000 (65 FR 41581), and that amended the color additive regulations to provide for the safe use of haematococcus algae meal as a color additive in the feed of salmonid fish to enhance the color of their flesh.

**DATES:**

Effective date confirmed: August 8, 2000.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**

Aydin Örstan, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (HFS-215), Food and Drug Administration, 200 C St. SW., Washington, DC 20204, 202-418-3076.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

In the *Federal Register* of July 6, 2000 (65 FR 41581), FDA amended the color additive regulations to add § 73.185 *Haematococcus algae meal* (21 CFR 73.185) to provide for the safe use of haematococcus algae meal as a color additive in the feed of salmonid fish to enhance the color of their flesh.

FDA gave interested persons until August 7, 2000, 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 effective date of the final rule that published in the *Federal Register* of July 6, 2000, should be confirmed.

**List of Subjects in 21 CFR Part 73**

Color additives, Cosmetics, Drugs, Foods, Medical devices.

Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 321, 341, 342, 343, 348, 351, 352, 355, 361, 362, 371, 379e) and under authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs (21 CFR 5.10), notice is given that no objections or requests for a hearing were filed in response to the July 6, 2000, final rule. Accordingly, the amendments issued thereby became effective August 8, 2000.

Dated: September 29, 2000.

Margaret M. Dotzel,

Associate Commissioner for Policy.
