| Title: Reinventing FDA Food Regulations | |
| Abstract: In response to President Clinton's memorandum to heads of departments and agencies entitled "Regulatory Reinvention Initiative," FDA has initiated rulemaking to retain, revise, or revoke certain of its regulations for food. FDA published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) on December 29, 1995, requesting information on the need to retain, revise, or revoke its food standards of identity regulations and its common or usual name regulations. In the same issue of the Federal Register FDA proposed to coordinate the food additive, GRAS, and color additive approval process with USDA when meat and poultry product uses are petitioned for. FDA proposed to revoke several lower fat milk standards on November 9, 1995. On June 12, 1996 FDA published an ANPRM announcing its intention to review its human food labeling regulations pertaining to : (1) the exemption for soft drinks from requirements for the type size and placement of certain information on the information panel, requirements for listing "statements of identity," and requirements for flavor labeling; (2) its infant formula regulations to ensure that they fully reflect the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; (3) its regulations pertaining to the discharge of waste aboard casino ships, passenger ships, and ferries; and (4) its food additive regulations to consolidate existing regulations. In the same June 12 issue of the Federal Register, FDA published a second ANPRM seeking public comment on possible ways to streamline various food additive regulations. FDA also proposed on June 12, 1996, to revoke certain food labeling regulations pertaining to labeling of food with number of servings and labeling Kosher and Kosher-style foods and to revoke the agency's voluntary filing of cosmetic product experiences. ^POn October 13, 1995, FDA proposed to revoke certain agency regulations that were obsolete or no longer necessary to achieve public health goals. The final rule pertaining to food regulations only published on June 3, 1996. A confirmation of effective date (CED) on those regulations promulgated under the formal rulemaking procedures of section 701(e) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 USC 371(e)) pertaining to diabetic labeling (21 CFR 105.67) and sodium intake labeling (21 CFR 105.69) that published on August 27, 1996. | |
