(e)The following data and information are available for public disclosure, unless extraordinary circumstances are shown, on the 121st day after receipt of the notification by FDA, except that no data or information are available for public disclosure if the FCN is withdrawn under § 170.103; and on the date of publication in the Federal Register of an FDA determination that an FCN is no longer effective.

(2)A protocol for a test or study, unless it is exempt from disclosure under § 20.61 of this chapter.
(3)A list of all ingredients contained in a food contact substance, excluding information that is exempt from disclosure under § 20.61 of this chapter. Where applicable, an ingredient list will be identified as incomplete.
