                        TITLE 21--FOOD AND DRUGS
 
CHAPTER I--FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN 
                          SERVICES (CONTINUED)
 
PART 500--GENERAL--Table of Contents
 
 Subpart E--Regulation of Carcinogenic Compounds Used in Food-Producing 
                                 Animals
 
Sec.  500.90  Waiver of requirements.

    In response to a petition or on the Commissioner's own initiative, 
the Commissioner may waive, in whole or in part, the requirements of 
this subpart except those provided under Sec.  500.88. A petition for 
this waiver may be filed by any person who would be adversely affected 
by the application of the requirements to a particular compound. The 
petition shall explain and document why the requirements from which a 
waiver is requested are not reasonably applicable to the compound, and 
set forth clearly the reasons why the alternative procedures will 
provide the basis for concluding that approval of the compound satisfies 
the requirements of the anticancer provisions of the act. If the 
Commissioner determines that waiver of any of the requirements of this 
subpart is appropriate, the Commissioner will state the basis for that 
determination in the regulation approving marketing of the sponsored 
compound.
