The guidance implements new provisions
added to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act in the Drug
Quality and Security Act in which Congress created a new statutory
category of "outsourcing facilities" that compound human drugs. New
section 503B of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C.
353b) allows compounders to register with FDA as outsourcing
facilities, and the draft guidance discusses the process for the
registration of outsourcing facilities.
