SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background In the Federal Register of June 25, 2007 (72 FR 34959), FDA published an IFR with a 90-day comment period to request comments on a procedure for a petition to request an exemption from 100 percent identity testing of dietary ingredients. Comments on the exemption procedure will provide an opportunity for interested persons to comment on whether this exemption procedure should be modified, and if so, whether there is any additional information that may be helpful to articulate with respect to what a petition needs to show that may inform future guidance. The agency has received a request for a 60-day extension of the comment period for the IFR. The request conveyed concern that the current 90day comment period does not allow sufficient time to develop a meaningful or thoughtful response to the IFR. FDA has considered the request and is extending the comment period for the IFR for 30 days, until October 24, 2007. The agency believes that a 30-day extension allows adequate time for interested persons to submit comments without significantly delaying rulemaking on these important issues.

II. Procedural Requirements

the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b) do not apply to this 
rulemaking. The changes being made relate solely to procedure and 
practice. The changes therefore, meet the requirements for exemption

B. Review Under Procedural Statutes and Executive Orders

    IHS has reviewed this rule under the following statutes and
