Abstract
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing that we have filed a color additive petition, submitted by the International Association of Color Manufacturers (IACM or petitioner), proposing that we amend the color additive regulations to no longer provide for the use of three specified solvents (methylene chloride, trichloroethylene, and ethylene dichloride) for preparing certain color additives because these uses have been permanently abandoned.
