## Abstract

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is amending the common or usual name regulation for crabmeat by replacing "brown king crabmeat" with "golden king crabmeat" as the common or usual name for crabmeat derived from the species Lithodes aequispinus. We are taking this action due to a recently enacted law. We are also correcting an error in the placement of a scientific term, which is editorial in nature.
