0910-AI04 201804 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 0910 Food and Drug Administration FDA 0900 Department of Health and Human Services HHS Crabmeat; Amendment of Common or Usual Name

This rule replaces brown king crabmeat with golden king crabmeat as the sole common or usual name of crabmeat derived from the species Lithodes aequispinus, and revises the scientific name to read as Lithodes aequispinus. We are issuing this rule in response to section 774 of the 2017 Consolidated Appropriations Act stating that, for purposes of applying the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.), the acceptable market name of Lithodes aequispinus is golden king crab. This rule also includes a technical amendment to clarify that Paralithodes platypus is a scientific name, not a common or usual name.
