Guidance for Industry: Food and Drug Administration Records Access Authority Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; Availability

Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2014-04-04
Agency: Food and Drug Administration, Department of Health and Human Services
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry entitled ``FDA Records Access Authority Under Sections 414 and 704 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.'' The guidance provides updated information pertaining to FDA's authority to access and copy records relating to food.

Establishment, Maintenance, and Availability of Records: Amendment to Record Availability Requirements
Document Number: 2014-07550
Type: Rule
Date: 2014-04-04
Agency: Food and Drug Administration, Department of Health and Human Services
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing a final regulation that adopts, without change, the interim final rule (IFR) entitled ``Establishment, Maintenance, and Availability of Records: Amendment to Record Availability Requirements.'' This final rule affirms the IFR's change to FDA's records access as required by the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Prior to the passage of FSMA, the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) provided the Secretary (by delegation FDA) with access to records relating to food that FDA reasonably believes to be adulterated and presents a threat of serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals. The FSMA amendment expands FDA's former records access authority beyond records relating to the specific suspect article of food to include records relating to any other article of food that FDA reasonably believes is likely to be affected in a similar manner. In addition, the FSMA amendment permits FDA to access records relating to articles of food for which FDA believes that there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to the article of food, and any other article of food that FDA reasonably believes is likely to be affected in a similar manner, will cause serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals. This final rule does not make any changes to the regulatory requirements established by the IFR. The final regulation also responds to comments submitted in response to the request for comments in the IFR.
Guidance for Industry on What You Need To Know About Establishment, Maintenance, and Availability of Records-Small Entity Compliance Guide; Availability
Document Number: 2014-07548
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2014-04-04
Agency: Food and Drug Administration, Department of Health and Human Services
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry entitled ``What You Need To Know About Establishment, Maintenance, and Availability of Records Small Entity Compliance Guide'' (SECG), which updates an earlier guidance of the same title. Previously, this guidance restated the legal requirements of FDA's maintenance and establishment of records regulation and served as that regulation's SECG. Because the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) amended FDA's maintenance and establishment of records regulation, FDA issued an interim final rule (IFR) amending certain regulations to be consistent with the changes. Accordingly, FDA is revising this guidance to help any entity comply with FDA's maintenance and establishment of records requirements, including the amendments to these requirements made by the IFR as finalized. This guidance continues to serve as FDA's SECG.

Proposed Collection: Recruitment and Screening for the Insight into Determination of Exceptional Aging and Longevity (IDEAL) Study(0925- 0631). Reinstatement with ChangeNational Institute on Aging (NIA), National Institutes of Health (NIH). Need and Use of Information Collection: Longevity combined with good health and functionality at the end of life represents a common goal. Although research has examined correlates of long life and functional decline, we still know relatively little about why certain individuals live in excellent health into their eighties while others succumb to failing health at much younger ages. Understanding the mechanisms important to ideal aging may provide new opportunity for health promotion and disability prevention is this rapidly growing segment of the population. The purpose of IDEAL (Insight into the Determinants of Exceptional Aging and Longevity) is to recruit into the Baltimore Longitudinal Study on Aging (BLSA) exceptionally long lived and healthy individuals and to learn what makes them so resilient and resistant to disease and disability, and to identify potential interventions that may contribute to the IDEAL condition. By enrolling the IDEAL cohort in the BLSA their biologic, physiologic, behavioral and functional characteristics will be evaluated using the same methods used with the current cohort who will serve as a type of control group. The first aim is to identify factors and characteristics that distinguish IDEAL from non-IDEAL individuals. We intend to compare the two groups to identify factors that discriminate IDEAL aging from non-IDEAL aging individuals. The second aim is to identify physiological, environmental and behavioral characteristics that are risk factors for losing the IDEAL condition over several years or longer. We postulate that the mechanisms of extreme longevity probably differ from those associated with delay or escape from disease and disability. As is customary in the BLSA, we plan to follow this cohort for life with yearly visits. This is a request for OMB clearance to continue to recruit and screen respondents into the Recruitment and Screening for the Insight into Determination of Exceptional Aging and Longevity (IDEAL) Study over the next 3 years. OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to the respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 263.

Agency: Department of Health and Human Services
The Administration for Community Living (ACL) is announcing the application deadline and a single case deviation from maximum competition for Technical Assistance (TA) grants providing support to Senior Legal Helplines (SLH) and Model Approaches to Statewide Legal Assistance Systems (Model Approaches) projects under Section 420(a)(2) of the Older Americans Act (OAA). The two (2) TA grants provide focused resource support specifically to SLHs and Model Approaches demonstration projects involved in improving the quality, cost effectiveness, and accessibility of legal assistance and elder rights protections provided to older people. The purpose of this deviation is to award a 4th year non-competing continuation to TA grants, with a three (3) year budget period set to expire May 31, 2014, so that: (1) Stakeholder input can be obtained on the resource support needs of legal and aging/disability service providers across the country; and (2) the current focus of the TA grants can be better directed to support and advance ACL activities anticipated in FY15 in the area of elder rights and elder abuse prevention. Program Name: National Legal Assistance and SupportNational Legal Resource Center. Award Amount: $214,636 ($143,000/$71,636 per grantee). Project Period: 6/1/2011 to 5/31/2015.
