7、n, DC 20204.Dear Sirs:The undersigned, _ submits this petition pursuant to section 409(b)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act with respect to _(Name of the food additive and proposed use)Attached hereto, in triplicate (quadruplicate, if intended uses include use in meat, meat food product

8、, or poultry product), and constituting a part of this petition are the following:A. The name and all pertinent information concerning the food additive, including chemical identity and composition of the food additive, its physical, chemical, and biological properties, and specifications prescribin

9、g the minimum content of the desired component(s) and identifying and limiting the reaction byproducts and other impurities. Where such information is not available, a statement as to the reasons why it is not should be submitted.When the chemical identity and composition of the food additive is not

10、 known, the petition shall contain information in sufficient detail to permit evaluation regarding the method of manufacture and the analytical controls used during the various stages of manufacturing, processing, or packing of the food additive which are relied upon to establish that it is a substa

11、nce of reproducible composition. Alternative methods and controls and variations in methods and controls within reasonable limits that do not affect the characteristics of the substance or the reliability of the controls may be specified.If the food additive is a mixture of chemicals, the petition s

12、hall supply a list of all substances used in the synthesis, extraction, or other method of preparation, regardless of whether they undergo chemical change in the process. Each substance should be identified by its common English name and complete chemical name, using structural formulas when necessa

13、ry for specific identification. If any proprietary preparation is used as a component, the proprietary name should be followed by a complete quantitative statement of composition. Reasonable alternatives for any listed substance may be specified.If the petitioner does not himself perform all the man

14、ufacturing, processing, and packing operations for a food additive, the petition shall identify each person who will perform a part of such operations and designate the part.The petition shall include stability data, and, if the data indicate that it is needed to insure the identity, strength, quali

15、ty, or purity of the additive, the expiration date that will be employed.B. The amount of the food additive proposed for use and the purposes for which it is proposed, together with all directions, recommendations, and suggestions regarding the proposed use, as well as specimens of the labeling prop

16、osed for the food additive and any labeling that will be required by applicable provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act on the finished food by reason of the use of the food additive. If the additive results or may reasonably be expected to result from the use of packaging material, t

17、he petitioner shall show how this may occur and what residues may reasonably be anticipated.(Typewritten or other draft-labeling copy will be accepted for consideration of the petition, provided a statement is made that final printed labeling identical in content to the draft copy will be submitted

18、as soon as available and prior to the marketing of the food additive.)(If the food additive is one for which a tolerance limitation is required to assure its safety, the level of use proposed should be no higher than the amount reasonably required to accomplish the intended physical or other technic

19、al effect, even though the safety data may support a higher tolerance.)C. Data establishing that the food additive will have the intended physical or other technical effect or that it may reasonably be expected to become a component, or to affect the characteristics, directly or indirectly, of food

20、and the amount necessary to accomplish this. These data should include information in sufficient detail to permit evaluation with control data.D. A description of practicable methods to determine the amount of the food additive in the raw, processed, and/or finished food and of any substance formed

21、in or on such food because of its use. The test proposed shall be one that can be used for food-control purposes and that can be applied with consistent results by any properly equipped and trained laboratory personnel.E. Full reports of investigations made with respect to the safety of the food add

22、itive.(A petition may be regarded as incomplete unless it includes full reports of adequate tests reasonably applicable to show whether or not the food additive will be safe for its intended use. The reports ordinarily should include detailed data derived from appropriate animal and other biological

23、 experiments in which the methods used and the results obtained are clearly set forth. The petition shall not omit without explanation any reports of investigations that would bias an evaluation of the safety of the food additive.)F. Proposed tolerances for the food additive, if tolerances are requi

24、red in order to insure its safety. A petitioner may include a proposed regulation.G. If submitting petition to modify an existing regulation issued pursuant to section 409(c)(1)(A) of the Act, full information on each proposed change that is to be made in the original regulation must be submitted. T

25、he petition may omit statements made in the original petition concerning which no change is proposed. A supplemental petition must be submitted for any change beyond the variations provided for in the original petition and the regulation issued on the basis of the original petition.H. The petitioner

26、 is required to submit either a claim for categorical exclusion under 25.30 or 25.32 of this chapter or an environmental assessment under 25.40 of this chapter.Yours very truly,PetitionerBy(Indicate authority)(d) The petitioner will be notified of the date on which his petition is filed; and an inco

27、mplete petition, or one that has not been submitted in triplicate, will usually be retained but not filed as a petition under section 409 of the Act.

The manufacturer may authorize specific

30、 reference to the data without disclosure to the petitioner. Nothing herein shall prevent reference to published data.(g) A petition shall be retained but shall not be filed if any of the data prescribed by section 409(b) of the Act are lacking or are not set forth so as to be readily understood.(h)

In cases in which the Food and Drug Administration agrees that a premarket notification for a food contact substance (Food Contact Notification (FCN) submitted under section 409(h) of the act may be converted to a petition, the withdrawal date for the FCN will be

43、deemed the date of receipt for the petition.(ii) If the petitioner desires, he may supplement a deficient petition after being notified regarding deficiencies. If the supplementary material or explanation of the petition is deemed acceptable, the petitioner shall be notified. The date of such notifi

44、cation becomes the date of filing.

47、 from that of one of the original components, the name of the parent component, the maximum quantity of the migratory substance that is proposed for use in food, and the physical or other technical effect which the migratory substance or its parent component is intended to have in the packaging mate

48、rial. A copy of the notice will be mailed to the petitioner when the original is forwarded to the Federal Register for publication.(j) The Commissioner may request a full description of the methods used in, and the facilities and controls used for, the production of the food additive, or a sample of the food additive, articles used as components thereof, or of the food in which the additive is proposed to be used, at any time while a petition is under consideration. The Commissioner shall specify in the request for a sample
