                        TITLE 21--FOOD AND DRUGS
 
CHAPTER I--FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN 
                           SERVICES--CONTINUED
 
PART 130--FOOD STANDARDS: GENERAL--Table of Contents
 
             Subpart B--Food Additives in Standardized Foods
 
Sec. 130.20  Food additives proposed for use in foods for which definitions and standards of identity are established.


    (a) Where a petition is received for the issuance or amendment of a 
regulation establishing a definition and standard of identity for a food 
under section 401 of the act, which proposes the inclusion of a food 
additive in such definition and standard of identity, the provisions of 
the regulations in part 171 of this chapter shall apply with respect to 
the information that must be submitted with respect to the food 
additive. Since section 409(b)(5) of the act requires that the 
Commissioner publish notice of a petition for the establishment of a 
food additive regulation within 30 days after filing, notice of a 
petition relating to a definition and standard of identity shall also be 
published within that time limitation if it includes a request, so 
designated, for the establishment of a regulation pertaining to a food 
additive.
    (b) If a petition for a definition and standard of identity contains 
a proposal for a food additive regulation, and the petitioner fails to 
designate it as such, the Commissioner, upon determining that the 
petition includes a proposal for a food additive regulation, shall so 
notify the petitioner and shall thereafter proceed in accordance with 
the regulations in part 171 of this chapter.
