Indirect Food Additives: General

21 CFR Part 174 establishes general regulatory provisions for indirect food additives—substances used in food-contact articles such as packaging and processing equipment. It defines good manufacturing practice requirements, including limits on additive migration into food and purity standards for components. The regulation permits use of substances generally recognized as safe, those with prior approval, and those meeting negligible migration thresholds, provided they comply with all applicable Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act provisions.

PART 174—INDIRECT FOOD ADDITIVES: GENERAL

§ 174.5 General provisions applicable to indirect food additives.

(a) Regulations prescribing conditions under which food additive substances may be safely used predicate usage under conditions of good manufacturing practice. For the purpose of this part and parts 175, 176, and 177 of this chapter, good manufacturing practice shall be defined to include the following restrictions:

(1) The quantity of any food additive substance that may be added to food as a result of use in articles that contact food shall not exceed, where no limits are specified, that which results from use of the substance in an amount not more than reasonably required to accomplish the intended physical or technical effect in the food-contact article; shall not exceed any prescribed limitations; and shall not be intended to accomplish any physical or technical effect in the food itself, except as such may be permitted by regulations in parts 170 through 189 of this chapter.

(2) Any substance used as a component of articles that contact food shall be of a purity suitable for its intended use.

(b) The existence in the subchapter B of a regulation prescribing safe conditions for the use of a substance as an article or component of articles that contact food shall not be construed to relieve such use of the substance or article from compliance with any other provision of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. For example, if a regulated food-packaging material were found on appropriate test to impart odor or taste to a specific food product such as to render it unfit within the meaning of section 402(a)(3) of the Act, the regulation would not be construed to relieve such use from compliance with section 402(a)(3).

(c) The existence in this subchapter B of a regulation prescribing safe conditions for the use of a substance as an article or component of articles that contact food shall not be construed as implying that such substance may be safely used as a direct additive in food.

(d) Substances that under conditions of good manufacturing practice may be safely used as components of articles that contact food include the following, subject to any prescribed limitations:

(1) Substances generally recognized as safe in or on food.

(2) Substances generally recognized as safe for their intended use in food packaging.

(3) Substances used in accordance with a prior sanction or approval.

(4) Substances permitted for use by regulations in this part and parts 175, 176, 177, 178 and § 179.45 of this chapter.

(5) Food contact substances used in accordance with an effective premarket notification for a food contact substance (FCN) submitted under section 409(h) of the act.

§ 174.6 Threshold of regulation for substances used in food-contact articles.

Substances used in food-contact articles (e.g., food-packaging or food-processing equipment) that migrate, or that may be expected to migrate, into food at negligible levels may be reviewed under § 170.39 of this chapter. The Food and Drug Administration will exempt substances whose uses it determines meet the criteria in § 170.39 of this chapter from regulation as food additives and, therefore, a food additive petition will not be required for the exempted use.

No-Migration Variance From Land Disposal Restrictions for Clean Harbors Grassy Mountain, Utah

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving with conditions, no-migration variances for four categories/groups of wastes, containing up to a combined 250 temporary disposal units ("put piles") at any one time, from the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR) standards at Clean Harbors' Grassy Mountain (Clean Harbors) commercial treatment, storage and disposal facility (TSDF) in Tooele County, Utah. These variances will allow Clean Harbors to temporarily store treated hazardous wastes that are awaiting LDR compliance verification in put piles within its Subtitle C (hazardous waste) landfill. The petitioner demonstrated, to a reasonable degree of certainty, that there will be no migration of hazardous constituents from the put piles for as long as the wastes remain hazardous. Additionally, once LDR compliance is verified, the put piles will be disposed within the onsite RCRA hazardous waste landfill cell and will be subject to the conditions set out in the Compliance Monitoring Plan section of this document.

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Arizona; Revisions to the Cleaner Burning Gasoline, Winter Oxygenated Fuel, and Gasoline Set-Aside Programs

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a revision to the Arizona State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ). This revision includes statutes and regulations amending the Cleaner Burning Gasoline (CBG) program, which is a control measure in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area to reduce emissions of ozone-forming pollutants, carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter. Additionally, this revision addresses the Winter Oxygenated Fuel program to control CO emissions in the Tucson area. Finally, this revision repeals the Arizona Gasoline Set[hyphen]aside (GSA) Program, applicable to the 1971 carbon monoxide nonattainment area covering Maricopa County and a portion of Pima County. The EPA is proposing to approve this SIP revision under the Clean Air Act (CAA or "Act"). This SIP revision is administrative in nature. This action proposes to update the existing SIP-approved CBG program with revisions that have been adopted and implemented by the State to clarify requirements, update references, and enhance flexibility of the program, and it will not impose any additional costs or regulatory burdens. We are taking comments on this proposal and plan to follow with a final action.

Air Plan Approval; Colorado; RACT Requirements for the 2008 8-Hour Ozone Standard for the Denver Metro/North Front Range Nonattainment Area

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve portions of Colorado State Implementation Plan (SIP) submittals under the Clean Air Act (CAA) that address SIP obligations related to Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) requirements for the 2008 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for the Denver-Boulder-Greeley-Ft. Collins-Loveland, Colorado ozone nonattainment area. The EPA is proposing approval of portions of the RACT SIP submittals that address reporting requirements for certain source categories and reorganize certain state air pollution regulations. The EPA is also proposing to find that the State has addressed the EPA's prior limited disapproval.
