[Docket No. 95N–0097]

New Monographs and Revisions of

Certain Food Chemicals Codex

Monographs; Opportunity for Public

Comment

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration,

HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug

Administration (FDA) is announcing an

opportunity for public comment on

pending changes to certain Food

Chemicals Codex specifications

monographs from the third edition and

its four supplements. One new

monograph and additions, revisions,

and corrections to current monographs

for certain substances used as food

ingredients are being prepared by the

National Academy of Sciences/Institute

of Medicine (NAS/IOM) Committee on

Food Chemicals Codex (the committee).

This material will be published in the

fourth edition of the Food Chemicals

Codex, which is scheduled for release in

March 1996. When the committee

completes its review of the comments,

it will incorporate any changes that it

makes in response to comments in

monographs published in supplements

to the fourth edition.

DATES: Written comments by August 14,

1995.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments

and supporting data and documentation

to the NAS/IOM Committee on Food

Chemicals Codex, National Academy of

Sciences, 2101 Constitution Ave., NW.,

Washington, DC 20418. Copies of the

new monographs and proposed

revisions to current monographs may be

obtained from NAS (address above) or

the Dockets Management Branch (HFA–

305), Food and Drug Administration,

rm. 1–23, 12420 Parklawn Dr.,

Rockville, MD 20857. Requests for

copies should specify the monographs

desired.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Fatima N. Johnson, Committee on

Food Chemicals Codex, Food and

Nutrition Board, National Academy

of Sciences, 2101 Constitution Ave.,

NW., Washington, DC 20418, 202–

334–2580; or

Paul M. Kuznesof, Center for Food

Safety and Applied Nutrition (HFS–

Administration, 200 C Street, SW.,

Washington, DC 20204, 202–418–

3009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By

contract with NAS/IOM, FDA supports

the preparation of the Food Chemicals

Codex, which is a compendium of

specifications for substances used as

food ingredients. Before any

specifications are included in a Food

Chemicals Codex publication, public

announcement is made in the Federal

Register.

FDA previously announced that the

committee was considering new

monographs and monograph revisions

for inclusion in the fourth edition of the

Food Chemicals Codex, which NAS/

IOM is now preparing. In addition, FDA

has given notice and an opportunity for

public comment on the policies adopted

by the committee for the fourth edition

on lead and heavy metals specifications

(58 FR 38129, July 15, 1993), and on

arsenic specifications (59 FR 11789,

March 14, 1994).

The committee will continue to

provide the opportunity for public

comment on intended changes in

monographs by means of Federal

Register notices before their inclusion

in supplements to the fourth edition.

Interested parties should submit all

suggestions with supporting

documentation to the National Academy

of Sciences at the above address.

FDA now gives notice that the

committee is soliciting comments and

information on certain proposed new

monographs and revisions to certain

additional current monographs. These

new monographs and revisions will be

published in the fourth edition of the

Food Chemicals Codex. The proposed

new monographs and revisions to

current monographs may be seen at the

Dockets Management Branch (address

above) between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.,

Monday through Friday. Because the

publication timeframe for the fourth

edition, comments on monographs that

are the subject of this notice cannot be

considered for incorporation in the

fourth edition, which is scheduled for

release in March 1996, but will be

considered for incorporation in

supplements to the fourth edition.

Copies of the new monographs and

proposed revisions to current

monographs may be obtained from NAS

or the Dockets Management Branch.

Requests for copies should be identified

with the docket number found in

brackets in the heading of this
28414 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 104 / Wednesday, May 31, 1995 / Notices

document and should specify the

monographs desired.

FDA emphasizes, however, that it will

not consider adopting and incorporating

any of the committee’s new monographs

or monograph revisions into FDA

regulations without ample opportunity

for public comment. If FDA decides to

propose the adoption of new

monographs and changes that have

received final approval of the

committee, it will announce its

intention, and provide an opportunity

for public comment in the Federal

Register.

The committee invites comments and

suggestions on specifications by all

interested parties on the proposed new

monographs and revisions of current

monographs that follow:
