SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a notice

published in the Federal Register of

September 13, 2000 (65 FR 55264), FDA

announced that a food additive petition

(FAP 0A4721) had been filed by the

Electric Power Research Institute,

Agriculture and Food Technology

Alliance, 2747 Hutchinson Ct., Walnut

Creek, CA 94598. The petition proposed

to amend the food additive regulations

in part 173 (21 CFR part 173) to provide

for the safe use of ozone in gaseous and

aqueous phases as an antimicrobial

agent for the treatment, storage, and

processing of foods.

The proposed use would include the

use of this additive on raw agricultural

commodities (RACs) in the preparing,

packing, or holding of such

commodities for commercial purposes,

consistent with section 201(q)(1)(B)(i) of

the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic

Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 321(q)(1)(B)(i)),

as amended by the Antimicrobial

Regulation Technical Corrections Act of

1998 (ARTCA) (Public Law 105–324).

The petitioner is not proposing that the

additive be intended for use for any

application under section

201(q)(1)(B)(i)(I), (q)(1)(B)(i)(II), or

(q)(1)(B)(i)(III) of the act, which use

would be subject to regulation by the

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

as a pesticide chemical. The proposed

use of the additive includes the use to

reduce the microbial contamination on

RACs. Under ARTCA, the use of ozone

as an antimicrobial agent on RACs in

the preparing, packing, or holding of

such RACs for commercial purposes,

consistent with section 201(q)(1)(B)(i) of

the act, and not otherwise included

within the definition of ‘‘pesticide

chemical’’ under section

201(q)(1)(B)(i)(I), (q)(1)(B)(i)(II), or

(q)(1)(B)(i)(III) is subject to regulation by

FDA as a food additive.

Although this use of ozone as an

antimicrobial agent on RACs is

regulated under section 409 of the act

(21 U.S.C. 348) as a food additive, the

intended use may nevertheless be

subject to regulation as a pesticide

under the Federal Insecticide,

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act

(FIFRA). Therefore, manufacturers

intending to market ozone for such use

should contact the EPA to determine

whether this use requires a pesticide

registration under FIFRA.

FDA has evaluated data in the

petition and other relevant material.
