The petition proposes to amend the color additive regulations in § 73.2110 Bismuth citrate (21 CFR 73.2110) to increase the permitted use level of bismuth citrate as a color additive in cosmetics intended for coloring hair on the scalp.
The potential environmental impact of this action is being reviewed. To encourage public participation consistent with regulations issued under the National Environmental Policy Act (40 CFR 1501.4(b)), the agency is placing the environmental assessment submitted with the petition that is the subject of this notice on public display at the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES ) for public review and comment.
