Summary (from the Federal Register abstract)
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) received objections and requests for a public hearing submitted by Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC, on behalf of Micro-Tracers, Inc. (Micro-Tracers or objector), on the order granting a color additive petition (3C0323) requesting that we repeal specified regulations to no longer provide for the safe use of FD&C Red No. 3 in food (including dietary supplements) and ingested drugs. After reviewing the objections, we have concluded that the objections do not raise issues of material fact that justify a hearing. We are also providing notice that the administrative stay of the effective date for the repeal and delisting of the color additive regulations is now lifted.
