Sec.  14.142  Functions of a color additive advisory committee.

    (a) A color additive advisory committee reviews all available 
information relating to the matter referred to it, including all 
information contained in any pertinent color additive petition and in 
FDA files. All information reviewed is placed on public display and is 
available for review at the office of the Division of Dockets 
Management.
    (b) The Commissioner specifies to the color additive advisory 
committee, in writing, the issues on which review and recommendations 
are requested.
    (c) The date of the first meeting of a color additive advisory 
committee, following receipt of the administrative record by each of the 
committee members, is designated as the beginning of the period allowed 
for consideration of the matter by the committee. Within 60 days after 
the first meeting, unless the time is extended as provided in paragraph 
(d) of this section, the chairman of the committee shall certify to the 
Commissioner the report containing the recommendations of the committee, 
including any minority report. The report states the recommendations of 
the committee and the reasons or basis for them. The report includes 
copies of all material considered by the committee in addition to the 
administrative record furnished to it.
    (d) If the chairman concludes that the color additive advisory 
committee needs additional time, the chairman shall so inform the 
Commissioner in writing and may certify the report of the committee to 
the Commissioner within 90 days instead of 60 days.
    (e) More than one matter may be handled concurrently by a color 
additive advisory committee.
