We originally gave interested persons until July 19, 2022, to provide data and information. Following publication of the notice, FDA received a request to allow interested parties additional time to comment. The request asserted that 60 days was insufficient to respond fully to FDA’s specific requests for comments and to allow potential respondents to thoroughly evaluate and address pertinent issues and requested that FDA extend the comment period by an additional 6 months. We have considered this request and, because the request came too late for us to extend the comment period before it expired, we are reopening the comment period for 90 days. FDA believes that this additional 90 days will allow time for interested parties to submit data and other information to support our review of the current use levels and safe use of certain ortho-phthalates in food contact applications.
