To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
The FDA has repeatedly expressed the position that synthetic botanicals are new dietary ingredients and therefore require each company selling or marketing such a compound to submit a new dietary ingredient notification. I am therefore seeking all new dietary ingredient notifications for synthetic theacrine, aka 1,3,7,9-tetramethyluric acid.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
anthony roberts
