MiamiOH OARS on 21 Mar 19The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Office of Regulatory Affairs (ORA), Office of Partnerships and Operational Policy (OPOP), Office of Partnerships (OP), is announcing the availability of up to $2,100,000 in FY 2019 to be awarded under Limited Competition to State animal food regulatory programs. The intended outcome of this FOA is to advance efforts for a nationally integrated animal food safety system through the implementation and advancement of the Animal Feed Regulatory Program Standards (AFRPS) by State animal food regulatory programs. The AFRPS allows for the development of risk-based animal food safety programs by establishing a uniform basis for measuring and improving the performance of State animal food regulatory programs in the Unites States. By achieving and sustaining implementation of these program Standards, Federal and State food regulatory programs can better direct their regulatory activities toward reducing foodborne illness attributed to animal food safety hazards in animal food material/supply facilities. Consequently, the safety and security of the United States animal food supply will improve.
