April 9, 2009 --  Three FDA Draft Guidances and three pieces of proposed food safety legislation are currently pending.  Anyone can file Comments with the applicable FDA Docket on the pending Guidances or contact the applicable Congressional staff on the pending legislation.  See links below:

3 Draft Guidances:

1. Draft Guidance: Good Importer Practices

2. Guidance for Industry: Voluntary Third-Party Certification Programs for Foods and Feeds

3. Guidance for Industry: Submission of Laboratory Packages By Accredited Laboratories

3 proposed pieces of legislation:

1. Senate Bill S.510- Durbin - D-Ill; “FDA Food Safety Modernization Act”

This would require registration of food plants and importers, would require that food plants develop HACCP Plans, allow FDA to assess penalties where importers cause problems that require FDA staff time, would establish a “Voluntary Qualified Importer Program,” etc. 

2. House Bill HR 875 - DeLauro- D-Conn; “Food Safety Modernization Act”

This would reorganize the regulation of foods into an Agency separated from the regulation of drugs and cosmetics (the Food and Drug Administration as it exists would be no more).  

 3. House Bill HR 759 - Dingell- D-Mi; “FDA Globalization Act of 2009”

This would require a $10,000 annual registration fee from all food importers.
