5UBCHAPTE* D--COSMETICS PART 170--VOLUNTARY REGISTRA
TION OF COSMETIC PRODUa ES TABLISHMENTS PART 172--VOLUNTARY FILING OF COSMETIC PRODUCT INGREDIENT AND COSMETIC RAW MATERIAL COMPOSITION STATEMENTS In the matter of Issuing regulations establishing a procedure for (1) the vol untary registration of cosmetic product establishments and (2) the voluntary fil ing of cosmetic product Ingredient statements: A notice regarding these regulations which were based on two petitions filed by the Cosmetic. Toiletry, and Fragrance Association, Inc, (CTFA), 1625 I Street NW, Washington, DC 20006, was pub lished In the Federal Register of August 26, 1971 (36 F.R. 16934), In the 65(Ke~noTTc<rtHe Commissioner of Food and Drugs proposed a parenthetical statement which, If the regulations were adopted, would be inserted to identify certain cosmetic products that are also regarded as drugs by the Food and Drug Administration. Interested persons were
Invited to submit comments on the pro posal within a 30-day period wlilch end ed September 25, 1971, Twenty-two com ments were received.
With regard to the promulgation of these regulations In general, a member of Congress urged that tho registration and filing of Ingredient statements by pro
ducer's of cosmetics bo mandatory, that foreign producers of cosmetics be sub jected to the regulations, and that in
gredient labeling of cosmetic products be required. Two other comments chal lenged the legality of establishing volun tary regulations under section 701(a) of tho Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act apd urged that the regulations is sued be mandatory. These two comments Included legal arguments to support claims that It Is extra legal to provide that data submitted voluntarily by firms filing cosmetic product Ingredient state ments be kept confidential by FDA: that authority now exists to require manda
tory registration of cosmetic product es tablishments, filing ot cosmetic ingre dient statements, label declaration of in gredients on cosmetic products, and label declaration of any registration
number issued by the Commissioner; and that authority now exists to pro vide that any cosmetic product that did not have an FDA-issued registration number on the label would be deemed to be misbranded.
The Commissioner has considered these comments and concludes that un der section 701(a) of the act he is au thorized to accept the voluntary regis tration of Cosmetic product establish ments and the voluntary filing of cos
metic product Ingredient statements and cosmetic raw material composition state ments as set forth in the regulations es tablished below. He also agrees that for eign producers should be included In this voluntary registration. Ho concludes however that promulgation of a manda
tory regulation could result in lengthy litigation that would seriously delay FDA from obtaining the type of information expected as result of this promulgation. If it is determined that the information
obtained through the procedure estab lished In these regulations does not ade quately contribute to the efficient en forcement of tho act, additional steps will be taken to promulgate mandatory regulations. The Commissioner further concludes that mandatory Ingredient labeling goes beyond the scope of the proposal and cannot be implemented by these regulations.
Comments recommending label decla
rations of Ingredients for cosmetic products are considered by the Com missioner to be meritorious. The Com missioner recognizes that regulations re quiring cosmetic product ingredient dis
closure on the labels of such products will prevent tho deception of consumers
and facilitate value comparisons. This Issue was not a part of the CTFA peti tions. Consideration Is being given to
publishing a proposal under the Fed
eral Fair Packaging and Labeling Act,
section 6(c)(3), 16 TJ.S.C. 1454(c)(3),
for labeling of sensitizing ingredients.
ASI 00003083
A derm&tologtft commented that the proposed regulations were a step In the right direction but that they did not go far enough, particularly in the provi sion for providing coded samples to physicians treating persons suffering from allergic reaction. He urged estab lishment of a "Register" that would list all ingredients of all cosmetic products
used in the United States and would be made available to every practicing der matologist The Commissioner concludes that a ``Register" of cosmetic ingredients goes beyond the scope of the proposal and cannot be Implemented by these regulations. The Commissioner considers that promulgation of labeling require ments for cosmetic Ingredients will sub stantially satisfy the need of dermatol ogists for this type of data.
One comment from a professor at a school of medicine urged that feminine hygiene deodorants be considered drags as are feminine douche products. This request waa also included in the com ment submitted by the member of Con gress. Twelve of those commenting op
posed the Commissioner's- proposed parenthetical statement. These com ments have been fully considered.
The Commissioner concludes that the parenthetical statement Is not a neces
sary element of this voluntary regula tion. In lieu of this statement, the pro posed regulations have been changed to Indicate that a cosmetic product which Is also a drug Is subject to the drug re quirements of the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act. In his proposed parenthetical state
ment. the Commissioner cited cosmetic product categories which are also re garded as drugs because of their intended use, He would like to point out that the failure to cite feminine hygiene deodor ants as an example should not be con strued to Indicate that such products may not also be considered drugs under appropriate circumstances.
One comment concerned the possible theft of Ingredient information and urged that funds commensurate with the value of the formulations submitted to FDA ,be set aside to reimburse the owner of a 'stolen cosmetic formulation. The Com missioner concludes that creation of a special fund goes beyond the scope of the proposal and cannot be Implemented by these regulations.
A public Interest group objected to the all-inclusive acope of the petitioner's proposed provisions concerning confiden tiality of statements submitted pursuant to Part 172. The commissioner concludes that these objections are valid, and the regulations have been changed so that such provisions are consistent with the mandate of section (3) (e> (4) of the Ad ministrative-Procedures Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)).
Fourteen associations or firms that are either Involved In or closely allied to the cosmetic product industry favored the
regulations proposed by the petitioner. However, some of these suggested amend atory language that would clarify and
improve the procedure for obtaining com
positional Information regarding proprie tary ingredients used in finished cos metics.
Accordingly, on the basis of the com ments received and the Commissioner's
conclusions, the proposed regulations arc being promulgated with the following changes:
1. For clarity, the titles of Ports 170 and 172 have been changed and new
definitions are added to {{171.1 and 172.1.
2. Changes have been made through out Parts 170 and 172 in order to Include foreign cosmetic producers In these vol untary registration procedures.
3. A sentence has been added to i 172.1 (b) to point out that a cosmetic product
which is also a drug Is subject to the drug provisions of the act.
4. Clarifying changes have been made
In 1172.5(a)(1) and (2), (b)(5), (d)(2) and (3), and (c>, and a new subdivision
has been added to paragraph (d> (1). 5. A new { 172.6 Information requested

added, and proposed S9 172.6-172.9 hnvo
been redesignated as f { 172.7-172.10. 6. To further implement new i 172,6,
appropriate amendments have been made
in Si 172.2. 172.3, 172.4, 172.7 and 172.0. 7. The section heading of S 172.8 has
been changed and the section is revised to clarify the procedure for acknowledg ing the receipt of statements, advising persons filing Incomplete statements,
and issuing statement numbers to persons filing complete statements.
8. Section 172.9 Is revised to clarify tho conditions under which trade secrets, and other privileged and confidential com mercial information will be held In con
fidence consistent with the provisions of section 3(e) (4) of the Administrative
Procedures Act as amended. 8. A new paragraph <b> has been
added to 5 172.10 to explain how the Food and Drug Administration Cosmetic Raw Material Composition Statement
