## Abstract

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing that it has received one objection to the final rule for astaxanthin as a color additive in the feed of salmonid fish to enhance the color of their flesh. The objection concerns a specification and the requirement for labeling of the color additive. The objection requests a hearing on the two issues. The submission of the objection stays the effective date of two paragraphs of the astaxanthin regulation until the agency can rule on them. FDA is confirming the effective date of May 16, 1995, for the remainder of this regulation that appeared in the Federal Register of April 13, 1995 (60 FR 18736).
