Résumé

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of certain documents that are being added to the administrative record for the agency's proposal to permanently list certain color additive lakes as suitable and safe for use in foods, drugs, and cosmetics. The proposal was published in the Federal Register of March 4, 1996 (61 FR 8372). The documents being added to the administrative record pertain to a modified in situ manufacturing process for D&C Red No. 34 lakes. FDA is also reopening the comment period for this proposal until July 6, 1998, for the sole purpose of providing an opportunity for public comment on these documents.
