I. Background
FSMA (Pub. L. 111–353) was signed
into law by President Obama on January
4, 2011, to better protect public health
by helping to ensure the safety and
security of the food supply. FSMA
amends the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) to
establish the foundation of a
modernized, prevention-based food
safety system. Among other things,
FSMA requires FDA to issue regulations
requiring preventive controls for human
food and animal food, set standards for
produce safety, and require importers to
have a program to verify that the food
products they bring into the United
States are produced in a manner
consistent with applicable FDA food
safety requirements.
FSMA was the first major legislative
reform of FDA’s food safety authorities
in more than 70 years, even though FDA
has increased the focus of its food safety
efforts on prevention over the past
several years. The proposed rule for
preventive controls for food for animals
can be found elsewhere in this issue of
the Federal Register, and it establishes
a docket so that the public can review
the proposed rule and submit comments
to FDA. This proposed rulemaking is
one of several key proposals in
furtherance of FSMA’s food safety
mandate.
The proposed rule would establish
regulations regarding the
manufacturing, processing, packing, or
holding of animal food in two ways.
First, it would create new current good
manufacturing practice (CGMP)
regulations that specifically address the
manufacturing, processing, packing, and
holding of animal food. Second, it
would include new preventive control
provisions intended to implement
section 103 of FSMA for animal food. In
general, with some exceptions the new
preventive control provisions would
apply to animal food facilities that are
required to register with FDA under the
FD&C Act. These preventive controls
would include requirements for covered
facilities to maintain a food safety plan,
perform a hazard analysis, and institute
preventive controls for the mitigation of
those hazards. Facilities would also be
required to monitor their controls, verify

Animals; Public Meeting on Proposed
Rule
AGENCY:
Food and Drug Administration,
HHS.
ACTION:
Notification of public meeting.
The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA or we) is
announcing three public meetings to
discuss the proposed rule to establish
requirements for current good
manufacturing practice and hazard
analysis and risk-based preventive
controls for animal food. This proposed
rule is one of several proposed rules that
will establish the foundation of, and
central framework for, the modern food
safety system envisioned by Congress in
the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act
(FSMA). The purpose of the public
meetings is to inform the public of the
provisions of the proposed rule and the
rulemaking process (including how to
submit comments, data, and other
information to the rulemaking docket)
as well as solicit oral stakeholder and
public comments on the proposed rule
and to respond to questions about the
proposed rule.

that they were effective, take
appropriate corrective actions, and
maintain records documenting these
actions.
For information on the proposed rule
for preventive controls for food for
animals and related fact sheets, see
FDA’s FSMA Web page located at
www.fda.gov/FSMA.
II. How To Participate in the Public
Meetings
FDA is holding the public meetings
on the proposed rule for preventive
controls for food for animals to inform
the public about the proposed rule and
the rulemaking process, including how
to submit comments, data, and other
information to the rulemaking docket; to
respond to questions about the proposed
rule; and to provide an opportunity for
interested persons to make oral
presentations. Due to limited space and
time, FDA encourages all persons who
wish to attend the meetings to register
in advance. There is no fee to register
for the public meetings, and registration
will be on a first-come, first-served
basis. Early registration is recommended
because seating is limited. Onsite
registration will be accepted, as space
permits, after all preregistered attendees
are seated.
Those requesting an opportunity to
make an oral presentation during the
time allotted for public comment at the
meeting are asked to submit a request
and to provide the specific topic or
issue to be addressed. Due to the
anticipated high level of interest in
presenting public comment and limited
time available, FDA is allocating 3
minutes to each speaker to make an oral
presentation. Speakers will be limited to
making oral remarks; there will not be
an opportunity to display materials such
as slide shows, videos, or other media
during the meeting. If time permits,
individuals or organizations that did not
register in advance may be granted the
opportunity to make an oral
presentation. FDA would like to
maximize the number of individuals
who make a presentation at the meeting
and will do our best to accommodate all
persons who wish to make a
presentation or express their opinions at
the meeting.
FDA encourages persons and groups
who have similar interests to
consolidate their information for
presentation by a single representative.
After reviewing the presentation
requests, FDA will notify each
participant before the meeting of the
approximate time their presentation is
scheduled to begin, and remind them of
the presentation format (i.e., 3-minute
oral presentation without visual media).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
FSMA (Pub. L. 111-353) was signed into law by President Obama on
January 4, 2011, to better protect public health by helping to ensure
the safety and security of the food supply. FSMA amends the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) to establish the foundation
of a modernized, prevention-based food safety system. Among other

safety, and require importers to have a program to verify that the food
products they bring into the United States are produced in a manner
consistent with applicable FDA food safety requirements.
FSMA was the first major legislative reform of FDA's food safety

For information on the proposed rule for preventive controls for
food for animals and related fact sheets, see FDA's FSMA Web page
located at www.fda.gov/FSMA.
II. How To Participate in the Public Meetings
FDA is holding the public meetings on the proposed rule for
preventive controls for food for animals to inform the public about the
proposed rule and the rulemaking process, including how to submit
comments, data, and other information to the rulemaking docket; to
respond to questions about the proposed rule; and to provide an
opportunity for interested persons to make oral presentations. Due to
limited space and time, FDA encourages all persons who wish to attend
the meetings to register in advance. There is no fee to register for
the public meetings, and registration will be on a first-come, first-
served basis. Early registration is recommended because seating is
limited. Onsite registration will be accepted, as space permits, after
all preregistered attendees are seated.
Those requesting an opportunity to make an oral presentation during
the time allotted for public comment at the meeting are asked to submit
a request and to provide the specific topic or issue to be addressed.
Due to the anticipated high level of interest in presenting public
comment and limited time available, FDA is allocating 3 minutes to each
speaker to make an oral presentation. Speakers will be limited to
making oral remarks; there will not be an opportunity to display
materials such as slide shows, videos, or other media during the
meeting. If time permits, individuals or organizations that did not
register in advance may be granted the opportunity to make an oral
presentation. FDA would like to maximize the number of individuals who

FDA encourages persons and groups who have similar interests to
consolidate their information for presentation by a single
representative. After reviewing the presentation requests, FDA will
notify each participant before the meeting of the approximate time
their presentation is scheduled to begin, and remind them of the
presentation format (i.e., 3-minute oral presentation without visual
media).
[[Page 64426]]
While oral presentations from specific individuals and
organizations will be necessarily limited due to time constraints
during the public meeting, stakeholders may submit electronic or
written comments discussing any issues of concern to the administration
record (the docket) for the rulemaking. All relevant data and
documentation should be submitted with the comments to Docket No. FDA-
