 214-b. Regulations.  The authority to promulgate regulations for the
  efficient   enforcement   of  this  article  is  hereby  vested  in  the
  commissioner.  This article and the regulations  promulgated  thereunder
  shall  be  so  interpreted  and construed, however, as to effectuate its
  general purpose to enact state legislation uniform with the federal  act
  approved  June twenty-fifth, nineteen hundred thirty-eight, and all acts
  amendatory thereof and supplemental thereto.
The commissioner is hereby authorized (1)  to  adopt,  in  so  far  as
  practicable,  the  regulations  fixing  and establishing definitions and
  standards of identity and/or standards of quality, and  tolerances,  for
  foods  or  food products from time to time promulgated under the federal
  act or acts, and (2) to change  or  amend  the  regulations  promulgated
  under  this chapter fixing and establishing definitions and standards of
  identity, and/or standards of quality, and tolerances, so as to  conform
  in  so far as practicable, to those promulgated under the federal act or
  acts.
The commissioner shall hold  a  public  hearing  upon  a  proposal  to
  promulgate  any new or amended regulations under this article, except in
  the case of a proposal to adopt  an  applicable  regulation  promulgated
  under the federal act or acts.
