ICCR is a voluntary international group of cosmetics regulatory
authorities from the United States, Japan, the European Union, Canada,
and Brazil. 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 Commission Directorate-General for
Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship, and Subject Matter
Experts; the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare of Japan; the
Brazilian Health Surveillance Agency; and FDA. 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.
Agenda: We will make the agenda for the public meeting available on
the Internet at http://www.fda.gov/Cosmetics/InternationalActivities/ICCR/default.htm. Depending on the number of requests for oral
presentations, we intend to have an agenda available by September 3,
2015. We may use the information that you provide to us during the
public meeting to help us prepare for the November 4-6, 2015, ICCR-9
meeting.
Dated: July 9, 2015.

Associate Commissioner for Policy.
