The Purpose of the Multilateral Framework on the ICCR: The purpose
of the multilateral framework on the ICCR is to pave the way for the
removal of regulatory obstacles to international trade while
maintaining global consumer protection.
ICCR is a voluntary international group of cosmetics regulatory
authorities from the United States, Japan, the European Union, and
Canada. These regulatory authority members will enter into constructive
dialogue with their relevant cosmetics industry trade associations and
public advocacy groups. Currently, the ICCR members are: Health Canada;
the European Directorate General for Health and Consumers; the Ministry
of Health,
[[Page 22994]]
Labor and Welfare of Japan; and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
All decisions made by consensus will be compatible with the laws,
policies, rules, regulations, and directives of the respective
administrations and governments. Members will implement and/or promote
actions or documents within their own jurisdictions and seek
convergence of regulatory policies and practices. Successful
implementation will need input from stakeholders.
We will make the agenda for the public meeting available on the
Internet at: http://www.fda.gov/Cosmetics/InternationalActivities/ConferencesMeetingsWorkshops/InternationalCooperationonCosmeticsRegulationsICCR/default.htm.
Depending on the number of requests for oral presentations, we intend
to have an agenda available by May 30, 2014. We may use the information
that you provide to us during the public meeting to help us prepare for
the July 8 to 10, 2014, ICCR-8 meeting.
Dated: April 21, 2014.

Assistant Commissioner for Policy.
