SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the multilateral framework on

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.
Currently, the ICCR members are Health Canada; the European Directorate
General for Enterprise and Industry; the Ministry of Health, Labor and
Welfare of Japan; and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. All
decisions made by the 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 require input from stakeholders.
Interested persons may present data, information, or views orally

for oral presentations may be limited to 10 minutes. Those desiring to
make oral presentations should notify the contact person by August 30,
