    PrintFDA’s Compliance Programs provide instructions to FDA personnel for conducting activities to evaluate industry compliance with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and other laws administered by FDA. Compliance Programs are made available to the public under the Freedom of Information Act. (See FDA Freedom of Information Act Handbook for Requesting Information and Records from FDA.)

Compliance Programs do not create or confer any rights for or on any person and do not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used as long as the approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. FDA's Compliance Programs are organized by the following program areas:

**Biologics (CBER)**
	**Bioresearch Monitoring (BIMO)**
	**Devices/Radiological Health (CDRH)**
	**Drugs (CDER)**
	**Food and Cosmetics (CFSAN)**)
	**Veterinary Medicine (CVM)**

                                                                                  Content current as of:
