SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under section 721(d)(1) of the Federal Food, 
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 379e(d)(1)), we are giving notice 
that we have filed a color additive petition (CAP 6C0305), submitted by 
Milton W. Chu, M.D., 5800 Santa Rosa Rd., Suite 111, Camarillo, CA 
93012. The petition proposes to amend the color additive regulations in 
Sec.  73.3126 Titanium dioxide (21 CFR 73.3126) and Sec.  74.3045 
[Phthalocyaninato (2-)] copper (21 CFR 74.3045) to provide for the safe

orientation marks for intraocular lenses.
    We have determined under 21 CFR 25.32(l) that this action is of a 
type that does not individually or cumulatively have a significant 
effect on the human environment. Therefore, neither an environmental 
assessment nor an environmental impact statement is required.
