SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    We are announcing the availability of a guidance for industry and 
the public entitled ``Compliance Policy for Cosmetic Product Facility 
Registration and Cosmetic Product Listing.'' This guidance is intended 
to assist owners or operators of cosmetic product facilities that are 
subject to the requirements related to facility registration and 
responsible persons that are subject to the requirements related to 
cosmetic product listing under the FD&C Act. We are issuing this 
guidance consistent with our good guidance practices (GGP) regulation 
(Sec.  10.115 (21 CFR 10.115)). We are implementing this guidance 
without prior public comment because we have determined that prior 
public

[[Page 77324]]

participation is not feasible or appropriate (Sec.  10.115(g)(2)) as it 
provides time-sensitive information to industry about our intent to 
delay enforcement of the cosmetic product facility registration and 
product listing requirements under section 607 of the FD&C Act (21 
U.S.C. 364c), which become effective on December 29, 2023, for 6 months 
until July 1, 2024. Although this guidance document is immediately in 
effect, it remains subject to comment in accordance with FDA's GGP 
regulation ((Sec.  10.115(g)(5)).
    On December 29, 2022, the President signed the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2023 (Pub. L. 117-328) into law, which included the 
Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA). Among other 
provisions, MoCRA added section 607 to the FD&C Act, establishing 
requirements for cosmetic product facility registration and product 
listing. Section 607 of the FD&C Act generally imposes an initial 
registration and listing deadline of December 29, 2023, for facilities 
that engaged in manufacturing or processing of a cosmetic product and 
cosmetic products that were marketed as of December 29, 2022, the date 
MoCRA was enacted. This guidance announces FDA's intent to delay 
enforcement of the requirements related to cosmetic product facility 
registration and cosmetic product listing under section 607 of the FD&C 
Act related to cosmetic product facility registration and cosmetic 
product listing until July 1, 2024, to provide regulated industry 
additional time to comply with these requirements.
    FDA issued a draft guidance entitled ``Registration and Listing of 
Cosmetic Product Facilities and Products'' on August 8, 2023 (88 FR 
53490). The draft guidance, when finalized, will provide 
recommendations and instructions to assist persons submitting cosmetic 
product facility registrations and product listings to FDA. FDA intends 
to delay enforcement of the cosmetic product facility registration and

products have sufficient time to gather the relevant information 
required for facility registration and product listing, including 
obtaining facility registration numbers to associate with cosmetic 
product listings, obtaining access to the electronic submissions 
database, and verifying accurate registration and listing information 
for submission.
    The guidance represents the current thinking of FDA on the issues 
within. It does not establish any rights for any person and is not 
binding on FDA or the public. You can use an alternative approach if it 
satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This guidance contains no collection of information. Therefore, 
clearance by the Office of Management and Budget under the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 is not required.
