FDA Unified Agenda Update
The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) recently published the Spring 2024 edition of its Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions. The FDA Agenda includes three proposed rules specific to cosmetic products, including two directed by the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA).
FDA and MoCRA: Key Observations
Although two of these proposed rules appeared on the Fall 2023 Unified Agenda, this marks the first time the Fragrance Allergen Disclosure Rule has appeared on a unified agenda.
The anticipated NPRM publication dates are aspirational. The FDA often misses these targets, and this is even more likely this year given that rulemaking tends to slow down leading up to a federal election. It would be out of the ordinary for any of these proposed rules to actually be issued until after this year’s election, but we will continue to monitor their status closely.
