New FCC Comment and Publication Schedule

The FCC Forum is the new process for public review of and comments about new additions to and revisions of FCC content.

Today, all proposed standards and revisions for the FCC are first posted in the free, online FCC Forum for a 90-day public comment period. Once revisions or new standards are approved by the Food Ingredients Expert Committee and USP's Council of Experts, they are published in the FCC main edition or its Supplements. The table below shows applicable FCC Forum comment periods, targeted publications, and publication dates.
