Notices of Filing of Petitions for Food Additives and Color Additives; Relocation in the Federal Register

Résumé

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is notifying the public that notices of filing of petitions for food additives and color additives that are published in accordance with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) will now be published in the "Proposed Rules" section of the Federal Register. Notices of filing have historically been published in the "Notices" section of the Federal Register. The Office of the Federal Register (OFR) recently informed FDA that, under OFR rules, these documents actually fall into the "Proposed Rules" category and requested that FDA reclassify these notices of filing documents as proposed rules. This change is effective immediately.
