On February 11, 1994, EPA published a proposed rule in the Federal Register proposing container design and residue removal requirements for refillable and non-refillable pesticide containers and standards for pesticide containment structures (59 FR 6712). Subsequently, EPA issued a supplemental notice in the Federal Register partially reopening the comment period on several specific issues (64 FR 56918, October 21, 1999). Because significant time has passed since the publication of the proposed rule and the supplemental notice, EPA believes it is appropriate to reopen the comment period prior to preparing a final rule. Specifically, EPA is reopening the comment period to obtain public input on the proposed requirements which would not have been available or could not have been addressed at the time of either the notice of proposed rulemaking in 1994 or the supplemental notice in 1999. EPA is reopening the comment period for the following proposed rule to solicit public input on issues or technology relating to the proposed requirements that would not have been available or could not have been addressed in comments submitted during previous public comment opportunities.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to require that manufacturers and processors of human food and cosmetics that are manufactured from, processed with, or otherwise contain, material from cattle must establish and maintain records sufficient to demonstrate the food or cosmetic is not manufactured from, processed with, or does not otherwise contain, prohibited cattle materials. This is a companion rulemaking to FDA's interim final rule entitled "Use of Materials Derived From Cattle in Human Food and Cosmetics,'' published in this issue of the Federal Register. FDA is proposing recordkeeping requirements because records documenting the absence of prohibited cattle materials are needed by manufacturers and processors of human food and cosmetics that contain cattle material to ensure that these products do not contain prohibited cattle materials. In addition, such records are necessary to help FDA ensure compliance with the requirements of the interim final rule.
