The National Archives and Record Services also pubhsh the CFR annually in paperback volumes. The CFR contains a compilation of rules previously pubhshed in the FR. This results in a codification of the rules, which take the force of administrative law. The government divides the CFR into 50 titles representing areas of federal regulation. Currency of the CFR happens daily, with updates published daily in FR. The CFR contains 50 divisions, which are revised annually (Table 5.1). [Pg.94]

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, also known as the OSH Act, established OSHA and the NIOSH. Employee and employer coverage comes from federal OSHA jurisdiction or by a state plan approved by OSHA.

As stated previously. Title 29, Chapter XVll, has been set aside for OSHA. Chapter XVH is broken down into parts and is further broken down into subparts, sections, and paragraphs. [Pg.270]

With a prescriptive approach to quality assessment, duplicate samples, blanks, standards, and spike recoveries are measured following a specific protocol. The result for each analysis is then compared with a single predetermined limit. If this limit is exceeded, an appropriate corrective action is taken. Prescriptive approaches to quality assurance are common for programs and laboratories subject to federal regulation. For example, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) specifies quality assurance practices that must be followed by laboratories analyzing products regulated by the FDA. [Pg.712]

Federal regulations (40 CFR 261) classify acrylonitrile as a hazardous waste and it is Hsted as Hazardous Waste Number U009. Disposal must be in accordance with federal (40 CFR 262, 263, 264), state, and local regulations only at properly permitted faciUties. It is Hsted as a toxic pollutant (40 CFR 122.21) and introduction into process streams, storm water, or waste water systems is in violation of federal law. Strict guidelines exist for clean-up and notification of leaks and spills. Federal notification regulations require that spills or leaks in excess of 100 lb (45.5 kg) be reported to the National Response Center. Substantial criminal and civil penalties can result from failure to report such discharges into the environment. [Pg.185]

According to the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, food additives may be defined as "substances. .. the intended use of which results or may reasonably be expected to result, directly or indirectly, either in their becoming a component of food or otherwise affecting the characteristics of food" (1). Canada and the European Community have adopted similar definitions. According to this broad definition, a food additive is synonymous to a food ingredient. In practice, however, the word additive is limited to substances that are used in small quantities. [Pg.435]

Hair Coloring Regulation Issues. In the United States the classification of color additives is complex. Under the Federal Food, Dmg and Cosmetic Act, all cosmetic colors must be the subject of an approved color additive petition to the Food and Dmg Administration there is an exception for coal-tar colorants used to color hair. Based on the composition of these colorants, FDA can require a certification on each manufactured batch of colorant to assure conformance with the approved specifications. In the early 1990s FDA has required certification only for synthetically derived coal-tar type colors. Many of the approved color additives, both certified and noncertified, are restricted ia their potential use. These restrictions can be found ia the color additive regulations ia the Code of Federal Regulations at 21 CFR 73 and 74. [Pg.458]
