In addition, this draft guidance describes FDA’s enforcement policy for certain ingredients reviewed using the AFIC process. The Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) gives FDA the authority to regulate substances used in animal food, including substances that are food additives and substances that are GRAS for their intended uses in food.1 Since 1920, AAFCO has maintained the AAFCO Official Publication (OP), which contains, among other things, a comprehensive list of animal food ingredients, including FDA-approved food additives, substances that are GRAS for one or more intended uses, and animal food ingredient definitions established through the AAFCO Ingredient Definition Request Process. In 2007, FDA entered into an MOU, 225–07–7001, with AAFCO that outlines how FDA would provide its scientific and technical expertise to AAFCO in reviewing requested ingredient definitions requested by industry or AAFCO. This MOU has been renewed and revised several times. The current MOU 225–07–7001 expires in October 2024 and will not be renewed. See https://www.fda.gov/animalveterinary/animal-food-feeds/fda-letterstakeholders-acknowledgment-expiringfda-aafco-mou. Following the expiration of the MOU, FDA plans to evaluate its animal Food Additive Petition and GRAS Notification programs to determine if changes are needed to promote the efficient development and review of new animal food ingredients. We are issuing this draft guidance to announce the creation of the AFIC process to provide an additional way for engagement with FDA regarding animal food ingredients following the expiration of the MOU with AAFCO and during this interim evaluation period. AFIC will provide a process that will help FDA be aware of new ingredients that are marketed in interstate commerce and any potential safety concerns associated with such ingredients. AFIC will serve to provide a baseline of safety information available about such an ingredient, making it easier to compare developments that might occur during marketing. AFIC also will give FDA an opportunity to discuss any potential safety concerns with the developer, 1 See 21 CFR part 570, subpart E. VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:21 Aug 08, 2024 Jkt 262001 ideally before the ingredient is marketed. AFIC also will allow for public awareness of and input on ingredients for which FDA is providing consultation. Our goal is to support innovation in animal food technologies while maintaining as our priority the production of safe animal food. FDA generally does not intend to initiate enforcement action with respect to the food additive approval requirements of the FD&C Act for an ingredient, or animal food containing such ingredient, if such an ingredient has been reviewed and is the subject of a ‘‘consultation complete’’ letter under the AFIC process, and is used in accordance with the ‘‘consultation complete’’ letter, as long as there continues to be no questions or concerns about the safety of the ingredient. Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, we are publishing a notice of availability for a draft guidance #293, ‘‘FDA Enforcement Policy for AAFCODefined Animal Feed Ingredients.’’ This draft guidance communicates FDA’s enforcement policy regarding certain ingredients listed in chapter 6 of the 2024 AAFCO OP (or recommended by FDA for inclusion in the AAFCO OP) after the expiration of the Agency’s MOU with AAFCO. Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, we also are publishing a notice seeking stakeholder input regarding our current Food Additive Petition and GRAS Notification review processes for animal food ingredients. Additionally, we intend to hold listening sessions and will later provide scheduling information for those listening sessions. This level 1 draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on ‘‘Animal Food Ingredient Consultation (AFIC).’’ 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 FDA tentatively concludes that this draft guidance contains no collection of information subject to review and approval by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501– 3521), as at this time we believe that fewer than 10 persons will avail themselves of this process in any given year. The draft guidance does refer to previously approved FDA collections of PO 00000 Frm 00058 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 65369 information. The collections of information in 21 CFR 570 have been approved under 0910–0342; the collections of information in 21 CFR 571 have been approved under 0910–0546. III.
