In the previous blog (USA: FDA Drafts Guidelines for Facilities Registration and Listing of Cosmetic Products), we discussed the new FDA authorities authorized under the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA) for cosmetics facility registration and product listing requirements.
The responsible persons were required to submit the marketed cosmetic product information listing to the FDA, register the facilities with the FDA within 60 days of any changes, and apply for the registration renewal for every 2 years. Upon this enactment, MoCRA issued a statutory deadline for industries to commit which was 29 December 2023.
However, on 8 November 2023, the FDA announced the postponement of the enforcement of the deadline, until 1 July 2024, after receiving concerns from the industry representatives on the ample time needed to prepare for the facility registration and product listing, including obtaining the facility registration numbers that associate with the product listing. Hence, FDA extends the enforcement to 6 months so that industries are able to prepare the requirements.
