Chelsea Cerrito, Center for Veterinary Medicine (HFV-221), Food and Drug Administration, 12225 Wilkins Ave., Rockville, MD 20852, 240-402-6729, *[email protected].*

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

FDA is amending the food additive regulation at 21 CFR 573.500 *Condensed, extracted glutamic acid fermentation product* for use in animal feed to update the production organism *Corynebacterium lilium* that has been scientifically reclassified to *Corynebacterium glutamicum.* This action is being taken to improve the accuracy and clarity of the regulations.

Publication of this document constitutes final action under the Administrative Procedures Act (5 U.S.C. 553). FDA has determined that notice and public comment are unnecessary because this amendment to the regulations provides only technical changes to update scientific nomenclature and is nonsubstantive.

**Authority:**

2. In § 573.500, in paragraph (a), remove the words “ *Corynebacterium lilium* ” and add in their place the words “ *Corynebacterium glutamicum* ”.

Dated: April 22, 2024.
