Invitation for Submissions

Written submissions are invited from interested individuals and organisations to assist FSANZ in assessing this Proposal.  Submissions should, where possible, address the objectives of FSANZ as set out in section 18 of the FSANZ Act.  Claims made in submissions should be supported wherever possible by referencing or including relevant studies, research findings, trials, surveys etc.  Technical information should be in sufficient detail to allow independent scientific assessment.

The processes of FSANZ are open to public scrutiny, and any submissions received will ordinarily be placed on the public register of FSANZ and made available for inspection.  If you wish any information contained in a submission to remain confidential to FSANZ, you should clearly identify the sensitive information, separate it from your submission and provide justification for treating it as confidential commercial material.  Section 114 of the FSANZ Act requires FSANZ to treat in-confidence, trade secrets relating to food and any other information relating to food, the commercial value of which would be, or could reasonably be expected to be, destroyed or diminished by disclosure.

Submissions must be made in writing and should clearly be marked with the word ?Submission? and quote the correct project number and name.  While FSANZ accepts submissions in hard copy to our offices, it is more convenient and quicker to receive submissions electronically through the FSANZ website using the Standards Development tab and then through Documents for Public Comment.  Alternatively, you may email your submission directly to the Standards Management Officer at submissions@foodstandards.gov.au.  There is no need to send a hard copy of your submission if you have submitted it by email or the FSANZ website.  FSANZ endeavours to formally acknowledge receipt of submissions within 3 business days.


DEADLINE FOR PUBLIC SUBMISSIONS:  6pm (Canberra time) 17 September 2008

SUBMISSIONS RECEIVED AFTER THIS DEADLINE WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED

Submissions received after this date will only be considered if agreement for an extension has been given prior to this closing date.  Agreement to an extension of time will only be given if extraordinary circumstances warrant an extension to the submission period.  Any agreed extension will be notified on the FSANZ website and will apply to all submitters.

Questions relating to making submissions or the application process can be directed to the Standards Management Officer at standards.management@foodstandards.gov.au.
