of the act of such disposal. The causing of an exemption so to expire shall be considered to be an act which results in such drug or device being misbranded unless, prior to such disposal, it is relabeled to comply with the requirements of section 502 (f) (1) of the act, or it is disposed of for use otherwise than as a drug or device.

(b) An application shall not be accepted for filing if only one copy is submitted or if it is incomplete on its face in that

(1) It does not contain all the matter required by clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), and (6) of section 505 (b) of the act;

(2) It does not state the conditions under which the drug is to be used; or

(3) The specimens of labeling proposed for use upon or within the retail package do not expressly or by reference to a brochure or other printed matter prescribe, recommend, or suggest the use of such drug under such conditions.

The Food and Drug Administration shall notify the applicant of such nonacceptance and the reason therefor and, in case of incompleteness as to matter required by any clause of section 505 (b), shall specify such clause. Otherwise the date on which an application is received by the Agency shall be considered to be the date on which such application is filed, and the Food and Drug Administration shall notify the applicant of such date. If the applicant withdraws his application, such application shall be considered as not having been filed. (Paragraph (b) amended Oct. 9,

(d) After an application has become effective with respect to a drug the applicant may file a supplemental application with respect thereto setting forth any proposed change in the conditions under which such drug is to be used, in the labeling thereof, in any circumstance relating to its production, or in any other information contained in the effective application. Such supplemental application may omit statements made in the effective application concerning which no change is proposed. [Paragraph (d) added Oct. 9, 1944, effective Oct. 10, 1944, 9 F.R. 12256]

$ 2.112 Insufficient information in application. The information contained in an application may be insuficient for the Administrator to determine whether a drug is safe for use if it fails to include (among other things) a statement showing whether the drug is to be exempt under any provision of $ 2.106, amended, promulgated pursuant to section 502 (f) of the act, from the requirement that its labeling bear adequate directions for use. If the drug is to be so exempt the information may also be insufficient if:

(1) The specimen label of the drug fails to incorporate by reference a specifically identified brochure or other printed matter containing information adequate for the use of such drug by physicians, dentists, or veterinarians, as the case may be;

(2) Such label fails to state that the drug is to be used as shown in such brochure or printed matter and that such brochure or printed matter will be sent to physicians, dentists, or veterinarians, as the case may be, on request;

(3) The application fails to contain copies of such brochure or printed matter; or

(4) The application fails to show that such brochure or printed matter is readily available to physicians, dentists, or veterinarians, as the case may be, or if not that it is to be made so when the application becomes effective.

$ 2.113 Untrue statements in application. Among the reasons why an application may contain an untrue statement of a material fact are changes in:

(1) Conditions of use prescribed, recommended, or suggested by the applicant for the drug from the conditions of such use stated in the application;

(2) Articles used as components of the drug from those listed in the application;

(3) Composition of the drug from that stated in the application;

(4) Methods used in, or the facilities or controls used for, the manufacture, processing, or packing of the drug from such methods, facilities, and controls described in the application; and

(5) Labeling from the specimens contained in the application. (52 Stat. 1055; 21 U.S.C. 371 (a)) [Reg., Oct. 9, 1944, effective Oct. 10, 1944, 9 F.R. 122571

§ 14.1 Cacao nibs, cocoa nibs, cracked cocoa, identify; label statement of optiona! ingredients. (a) Cacao nibs, cocoa nibs, cracked cocoa is the food prepared by heating and cracking dried or cured and cleaned cacao beans and removing shell therefrom. Cacao nibs or the cacao beans from which they are prepared may be processed by heating with one or more of the following optional alkali ingredients, added as such or in aqueous solution: Bicarbonate, carbonate, or hydroxide of sodium, ammonium, or potassium; or carbonate or oxide of magnesium; but 'for each 100 parts by weight of cacao nibs used, as such or before shelling from the cacao beans, the total quantity of such alkalis used is not greater in neutralizing value (calculated from the respective combining weights of such alkalis used) than the neutralizing value of 3 parts by weight of anhydrous potassium carbonate. The cacao shell content of cacao nibs is not more than 1.75 percent by weight (calculated to an alkali-free basis if they or the cacao beans from which they were prepared have been processed with alkali), as determined by the method prescribed under "Shell in Cacao Nibs—Tentative" beginning on page 208 of "Official and Tentative Methods of Analysis of the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists”, 5th Ed., 1940.

(b) When cacao nibs or the cacao beans from which they are prepared are processed, in whole or in part, with any optional alkali ingredient specified in paragraph (a) of this section, the label shall bear the statement "Processed with Alkali”; but in lieu of the word “Alkali" in such statement the specific common name of the optional alkali ingredient may be used. Wherever the name of the food appears on the label so conspicuously as to be easily seen under customary conditions of purchase, such statement shall immediately and conspicuously precede or follow such name, without intervening written, printed, or graphic matter.
