FDA has considered the requests and is granting a 60-day extension of the comment period for the ‘‘Accreditation of Third-Party Auditors/Certification Bodies to Conduct Food Safety Audits and to Issue Certifications’’ proposed rule to allow interested persons an opportunity to consider the interrelationships between the proposed rules. We also are extending the comment period for the information collection provisions for 60 days to make the comment period for the information collection provisions the same as the comment period for the provisions of the proposed rule.
