128. CONTROL OF COMMUNICABLEDISEASES: FOREIGN QUARANTINE
Legal Authority: 42 USC 243; 42 USC248 and 249
Abstract: By statute, the Secretary ofHealth and Human Services has broadauthority to prevent introduction,transmission, and spread ofcommunicable diseases from foreigncountries into the United States andfrom one State or possession intoanother. Quarantine regulations aredivided into two parts: Part 71 dealingwith foreign arrivals and part 70dealing with interstate matters. Thisrule (42 CFR part 71) will update andimprove CDCs response to both globaland domestic disease threats bycreating a multi-tiered illness detectionand response process thus substantiallyenhancing the public health systemsability to slow the introduction,transmission, and spread ofcommunicable disease. The rule willalso modify current Federal regulationsgoverning the apprehension, quarantineisolation, and conditional release ofindividuals suspected of carrying aquarantinable disease, while respectingindividual autonomy. CDC maintainsquarantine stations at 20 ports of entrystaffed with medical and public healthofficers who respond to reports ofdiseases from carriers. According to thestatutory scheme, the Presidentdetermines through Executive Order
which diseases may subject individualsto quarantine. The current disease list,which was last updated in April 2005,includes cholera, diphtheria,tuberculosis, plague, smallpox, yellowfever, viral hemorrhagic fevers, severeacute respiratory syndrome (SARS), andinfluenza caused by novel orreemergent influenza viruses that arecausing, or have the potential to causea pandemic.

129. POSSESSION, USE, ANDTRANSFER OF SELECT AGENTS ANDTOXINS: CHAPARE VIRUS (SECTION610 REVIEW)
Legal Authority: PL 107188
Abstract: The Public Health Securityand Bioterrorism Preparedness andResponse Act of 2002 authorizes theHHS Secretary to regulate thepossession, use, and transfer of selectagents and toxins that have thepotential to pose a severe threat topublic health and safety. Theseregulations are set forth at 42 CFR 73.Criteria used to determine whether aselect agent or toxin should beincluded under the provisions of theseregulations are based on: 1) The effecton human health as a result ofexposure to the agent or toxin, 2) thedegree of contagiousness of the agentor toxin, 3) the methods by which theagent or toxin is transferred to humans,4) the availability and effectiveness ofpharmacotherapies and immunizations
to treat and prevent and illnessresulting from infection by the agent ortoxin, and 5) any other criteria,including the needs of children andother vulnerable populations that theHHS Secretary considers appropriate.Based on these criteria, we areproposing to amend the list of HHSselect agents and toxins by addingChapare virus to the list. Afterconsulting with subject matter expertsfrom CDC, the National Institutes ofHealth (NIH), the Food DrugAdministration (FDA), the UnitedStates Department of Agriculture(USDA) /Animal and Plant HealthInspection Service (APHIS),USDA/Agricultural Research Service(ARS), USDA/CVB (Center forVeterinary Biologics), and theDepartment of Defense (DOD)/UnitedStates Army Medical Research Institutefor Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) andreview of relevant published studies,we believe the Chapare virus should beadded to the list of HHS select agents
and toxins based on our conclusionthat the Chapare virus has beenphylogenetically identified as a CladeB arenavirus and is closely related toother South American arenaviruses thatcause haemorrhagic fever, particularlySabia virus.

Abstract: By statute, the Secretary ofHealth and Human Services has broadauthority to prevent introduction,transmission, and spread ofcommunicable diseases from one Stateor possession into another. Quarantineregulations are divided into two parts:Part 71 dealing with foreign arrivalsand part 70 dealing with interstatematters. The CDC Director has been
delegated the responsibility for carryingout these regulations. The Directors
authority to investigate suspected casesand potential spread of communicabledisease among interstate travelers isthus not limited to those known orsuspected of having a quarantinable

Among the fundamental components ofthe public health response to the reportof a person with a communicabledisease is the identification andevaluation of individuals who mayhave been exposed. This provision,which was proposed section 70.4,would require any airline operating ininterstate traffic to solicit andelectronically submit certain passengerinformation to CDC for use in contact
tracing when necessary to protect thevital interests of an individual, or other
persons, in regard to significant healthrisks.

135. OVERTHECOUNTER HUMANDRUGS; LABELING REQUIREMENTS(SECTION 610 REVIEW)
Legal Authority: 5 USC 610
Abstract: Part 201.66 (21 CFR section201.66) established a standardizedformat for the labeling of OTC drugproducts that included: (1) Specificheadings and subheadings presented ina standardized order, (2) standardizedgraphical features such as Helveticatype style and the use of bulletpoints to introduce key information,and (3) minimum standards for typesize and spacing. FDA issued the finalrule to improve labeling afterconsidering comments submitted to theagency following the publication of theproposed regulation in 1997. In 1999,FDA published the final rule and statedthat a standardized labeling formatwould significantly improve readability
by familiarizing consumers with thetypes of information in OTC drugproduct labeling and the location ofthat information. In addition, astandardized appearance andstandardized content, including varioususer-friendly visual cues, would helpconsumers locate and read importanthealth and safety information and allowquick and effective productcomparisons, thereby helping
consumers to select the mostappropriate product.
FDA is initiating a review undersection 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act for the regulation in part 201.66.The purpose of this review is todetermine whether the regulation inpart 201.66 should be continuedwithout change, or whether it should
be further amended or rescinded,consistent with the stated objectives ofapplicable statutes, to minimize adverseimpacts on a substantial number ofsmall entities. FDA will consider, andis soliciting comments on thefollowing: (1) The continued need forthe regulation in part 201.66; (2) thenature of the complaints or commentsreceived concerning the regulation inpart 201.66; (3) the complexity of the
regulations in part 201.66; (4) theextent to which the regulations in part201.66 overlap, duplicate, or conflictwith other Federal, State, orgovernmental rules; and (5) the degreeto which technology, economicconditions, or other factors havechanged for the products still subjectto the labeling standard regulations inpart 201.
The section 610 review will be carriedout along with a regulatory reviewunder section 5 of Executive Order
12866, which calls for agencies toperiodically review existing regulationsto determine whether any should bemodified or eliminated so as to makethe agencys regulatory program more

145. PRODUCE SAFETY REGULATION
Legal Authority: 21 USC 342; 21 USC371; 42 USC 264
Abstract: The Food and DrugAdministration (FDA) has determinedthat enforceable standards (as opposedto voluntary recommendations) for theproduction and packing of freshproduce are necessary to ensure bestpractices are commonly adopted. FDAis proposing to promulgate regulationssetting enforceable standards for freshproduce safety at the farm and packinghouse. The purpose of the proposedrule is to reduce the risk of illnessassociated with contaminated freshproduce. The proposed rule will be
based on prevention-oriented publichealth principles and incorporate whatwe have learned in the past decadesince the agency issued general goodagricultural practice guidelines entitledGuide to Minimize Microbial FoodSafety Hazards for Fresh Fruits andVegetables (GAPs Guide). Theproposed rule also will reflectcomments received on the agencys1998 update of its GAPs guide and its
July 2009 draft commodity specificguidances for tomatoes, leafy greens,and melons. Although the proposed
rule will be based on recommendationsthat are included in the GAPs guide,FDA does not intend to make the entireguidance mandatory. FDAs proposedrule would, however, set out clearstandards for implementation ofmodern preventive controls. Theproposed rule also would emphasizethe importance of environmentalassessments to identify hazards and
possible pathways of contaminationand provide examples of risk reductionpractices recognizing that operatorsmust tailor their preventive controls toparticular hazards and conditions
affecting their operations. Therequirements of the proposed rulewould be scale appropriate andcommensurate with the relative risksand complexity of individualoperations. FDA intends to issueguidance after the proposed rule isfinalized to assist industry incomplying with the requirements of thenew regulation.

Abstract: The Food and DrugAdministration is amending its currentgood manufacturing practiceregulations and other regulations toclarify and strengthen requirements forthe label, color, dedication, and designof medical gas containers and closures.Despite existing regulatoryrequirements and industry standardsfor medical gases, there have beenrepeated incidents in which cryogeniccontainers of harmful industrial gases
have been connected to medical oxygensupply systems in hospitals andnursing homes and subsequentlyadministered to patients. Theseincidents have resulted in death andserious injury. There have also beenseveral incidents involving high-pressure medical gas cylinders thathave resulted in death and injuries topatients. These amendments, togetherwith existing regulations, are intendedto ensure that the types of incidentsthat have occurred in the past, as wellas other types of foreseeable andpotentially deadly medical gas
accidents, do not occur in the future.

Abstract: To amend the regulationsgoverning the format and content oflabeling for human prescription drugsand biological products (21 CFR parts201.56, 201.57, and 201.80). UnderFDAs current regulations, labelingconcerning the use of prescription
drugs in pregnancy uses lettercategories (A, B, C, D, X) to characterizethe risk to the fetus of using the drugin pregnancy. One of the deficienciesof the category system is that drugsmay be assigned to the same categorywhen the severity, incidence, and typesof risk are quite different.Dissatisfaction with the category systemhas been expressed by health careproviders, medical organizations,experts in the study of birth defects,womens health researchers, andwomen of childbearing age.Stakeholders consulted through apublic hearing, several focus groups,
and several advisory committees haverecommended that FDA replace thecategory system with a concisenarrative summarizing a products risksto pregnant women and to women ofchildbearing age. Therefore, the revisedformat and the information provided inthe labeling would make it easier forhealth care providers to understand therisks and benefits of drug use duringpregnancy and lactation.

Legal Authority: 21 USC 342; 21 USC
361; 21 USC 371
Abstract: On July 14, 2004, FDA issuedan interim final rule (IFR), effectiveimmediately, to prohibit the use ofcertain cattle material and to addressthe potential risk of bovine spongiformencephalopathy (BSE) in human food,including dietary supplements, andcosmetics. Prohibited cattle materialsunder the IFR include specified riskmaterials, small intestine of all cattle,material from nonambulatory disabledcattle, material from cattle notinspected and passed for humanconsumption, and mechanicallyseparated (MS) beef. Specified riskmaterials are the brain, skull, eyes,trigeminal ganglia, spinal cord,vertebral column (excluding thevertebrae of the tail, the transverseprocesses of the thoracic and lumbarvertebrae, and the wings of the sacrum),and dorsal root ganglia of cattle 30months and older; and the tonsils anddistal ileum of the small intestine ofall cattle. Prohibited cattle materials donot include tallow that contains nomore than 0.15 percent hexane-insoluble impurities and tallowderivatives. This action minimizes
human exposure to materials thatscientific studies have demonstrated arehighly likely to contain the BSE agentin cattle infected with the disease.Scientists believe that the humandisease variant Creutzfeldt-Jakobdisease (vCJD) is likely caused by theconsumption of products contaminatedwith the agent that causes BSE.
