Negotiated Rulemaking Committee; Announcement of Fourth Session of Committee Meetings-Title IV Federal Student Aid Programs, Student Debt Relief, 7317-7318 [2024-02107]

Download as PDF khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 23 / Friday, February 2, 2024 / Proposed Rules We are issuing these revised sections of the draft guidance consistent with our good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on ‘‘Current Good Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis, and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Human Food.’’ It does not establish any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the public. You can use an alternate approach if it satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) (Pub. L. 111–353) enables FDA to better protect public health by helping to ensure the safety and security of the food supply. FSMA enables FDA to focus more on preventing food safety problems rather than relying primarily on reacting to problems after they occur. FSMA recognizes the important role industry plays in ensuring the safety of the food supply, including the adoption of modern systems of preventive controls in food production. Section 103 of FSMA amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), by adding section 418 (21 U.S.C. 350g) with requirements for hazard analysis and risk-based preventive controls for establishments that are required to register as food facilities under our regulations in 21 CFR part 1, subpart H, in accordance with section 415 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 350d). We have established regulations to implement these requirements within part 117 (21 CFR part 117). The multichapter draft guidance for industry is intended to explain our current thinking on how to comply with the requirements for hazard analysis and risk-based preventive controls under part 117, principally in subparts C and G. One revised draft that we are announcing in this document is ‘‘Introduction and General Information Applicable to This Guidance.’’ We revised the draft Introduction that we made available in 2016 to address comments submitted regarding the draft Introduction, include all draft definitions that we subsequently included in chapters we have made available, and add draft recommendations for training applicable to most topics covered in the multichapter guidance. We also added two administrative features. One feature is a comprehensive bibliography of references that we cited within the chapters previously made available, as well as references that we expect to cite in the additional chapters that we have included in the table of contents. Another feature is a compilation of VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:43 Feb 01, 2024 Jkt 262001 resources that could be useful to persons who use the multichapter guidance. The second revised draft that we are announcing in this document is ‘‘Appendix 1: Known or Reasonably Foreseeable Hazards (‘‘Potential Hazards’’).’’ We revised the draft Appendix 1 that we made available in 2016 to add text providing context for what the Appendix is, how it was developed, and how it should be used. To address comments submitted regarding the draft Appendix, we made several changes, including: (1) significantly revised product categories (which emphasize ingredients that go into foods rather than finished foods that can be formulated with many variations of such ingredients); (2) replaced a series of tables listing known or reasonably foreseeable (‘‘potential’’) process-related hazards with a discussion of such hazards; (3) provided a general discussion of food allergen hazards rather than identify known or reasonably foreseeable (‘‘potential’’) food allergen hazards that could apply to multiple product categories; and (4) identified scientific, technical, or regulatory information that we considered when identifying some hazards that are known or reasonably foreseeable (‘‘potential’’), but less common, hazards in some food categories. We intend to announce the availability for public comment of additional chapters of the draft guidance as we complete them. The titles of the additional chapters that we expect to make available for public comment are included in the table of contents for the complete multichapter guidance. II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 While this guidance contains no collection of information, it does refer to previously approved FDA collections of information. The previously approved collections of information are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501–3521). The collections of information in part 117 have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0751. III.
