SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of March 26, 2010 
(75 FR 14491), FDA amended the color additive regulations in Sec.  
73.2110 (21 CFR 73.2110) by increasing the permitted use level of 
bismuth citrate as a color additive in cosmetics intended for coloring 
hair on the scalp.
    FDA gave interested persons until April 26, 2010, to file 
objections or requests for a hearing. The agency received no objections 
or requests for a hearing on the final rule. Therefore, FDA finds that 
the effective date of the final rule that published in the Federal
