Abstract: Section 415 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act requires domestic and foreign facilities that manufacture, process, pack, or hold food for human or animal consumption in the United States to be registered with the FDA. Sections 1.230 - 1.235 (21 CFR 1.230-1.235)of FDA's regulations set forth the procedures for registration of food facilities. Information provided to FDA under these regulations will help the agency to notify quickly the facilities that might be affected by a deliberate or accidental contamination of the food supply.

Emergency Justfication: In accordance with the 5 CFR 1320.13, FDA believes that public harm is reasonably likely to occur and the Agency will be at risk of not fulfilling its FSMA mandate, if the normal clearance procedures are followed. In the six months or more it can take to obtain a full PRA clearance, a significant number of consumers could be exposed to the risk of consuming hazardous food products. FDA believes that these circumstances can be mitigated or prevented through prompt communication with facilities that might be affected by a deliberate or accidental contamination of the food supply and through targeted import inspections.
