Eligibility of the Republic of Poland To Export Poultry Products to the United States
Document Number: 2016-09185
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2016-04-20
Agency: Department of Agriculture, Food Safety and Inspection Service
The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to add the Republic of Poland (Poland) to the list of countries in the regulations eligible to export poultry products to the United States. FSIS has reviewed Poland's poultry laws, regulations, and inspection system as implemented and has tentatively determined that they are equivalent to the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA), the regulations implementing this statute, and the U.S. food safety system for poultry. Should this rule become final, slaughtered poultry, or parts or other products thereof, processed in certified Polish establishments, would be eligible for export to the United States. Although Poland may be listed in FSIS's regulations as eligible to export poultry products to the United States, the products must also comply with all other applicable requirements of the United States, including those of USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), before any products can enter the United States. All such products would be subject to re- inspection at U.S. ports-of-entry by FSIS inspectors.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled ``Comparability Protocols for Human Drugs and Biologics: Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls Information.'' This document is a revised version of a draft guidance that published in February 2003 entitled ``Comparability Protocols: Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls Information.'' A related draft guidance entitled ``Comparability ProtocolsProtein Drug Products and Biological ProductsChemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls Information,'' that published in September 2003, was withdrawn on May 6, 2015. The revised draft guidance provides recommendations to human drug and biologics manufacturers on implementing a chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) postapproval change(s) through the use of a comparability protocol (CP). By using a CP, manufacturers who fall within the scope of this guidance will not have to submit commercial- scale CMC information on postchange products to FDA before making the proposed change. This draft guidance is intended to establish a framework to promote manufacturing of quality drug products.
