ACTION:

Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY:

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is correcting a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register of July 28, 2004 (69 FR 44927). The final rule amended the color additive regulations to provide for the safe use of D&C Black No. 2 (a high-purity furnace black, subject to FDA batch certification) as a color additive in the following cosmetics: Eyeliner, brush-on-brow, eye shadow, mascara, lipstick, blushers and rouge, makeup and foundation, and nail enamel. The action was in response to a petition filed by the Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association. The final rule published with inadvertent errors. This document corrects those errors.

Each objection shall be separately numbered, and each numbered objection shall specify with particularity the provisions of the regulation to which objection is made and the grounds for the objection. Each numbered objection on which a hearing is requested shall specifically so state. Failure to request a hearing for any particular objection shall constitute a waiver of the right to a hearing on that objection.

Failure to include such a description and analysis for any particular objection shall constitute a waiver of the right to a hearing on the objection.
