    The Purpose of the Multilateral Framework on the ICCR: The purpose 
of the multilateral framework on the ICCR is to pave the way for the 
removal of regulatory obstacles to international trade while 
maintaining global consumer protection.
    ICCR is a voluntary international group of cosmetics regulatory 
authorities from Brazil, Canada, the European Union, Japan, and the 
United States of America. These regulatory authority members will enter 
into constructive dialogue with their relevant cosmetics industry trade 
associations and public advocacy groups. Currently, the ICCR members 
are: The Brazilian Health Surveillance Agency; Health Canada; the 
European Commission Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, 
Entrepreneurship, and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises; the Ministry 
of Health, Labor, and Welfare of Japan; and FDA. All decisions made by 
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 need input from 
stakeholders.
    Agenda: We will make the agenda for the public meeting available on 
the Internet at http://www.fda.gov/Cosmetics/InternationalActivities/ICCR/default.htm. Depending on the number of requests for oral 
presentations, we intend to have an agenda available by June 8, 2016. 
We may use the information that you provide to us during the public 
meeting to help us prepare for the July 12-14, 2016, ICCR-10 meeting.

    Dated: April 13, 2016.
Leslie Kux,
Associate Commissioner for Policy.
