FDA Seeks More Comments on Export Certificate Requests

The FDA seeks more comments on its collections of information related to export certificates for FDA-regulated human food and cosmetic products, it said in a notice released July 9. Mostly requested electronically via the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition Export Certification Application and Tracking System or Certificate Application Process, the certificates may be required by foreign countries for goods exported from the U.S. to assure foreign regulators that the products meet U.S. requirements. The FDA seeks comments by Aug. 9 on the information collection, including a reduction by the agency in the estimated burden of the process on exporters.
