Office of Regulatory Affairs (ORA)

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Office of Regulatory Affairs (ORA) is the lead office for all agency field activities. ORA inspects regulated products and manufacturers, conducts sample analyses of regulated products and reviews imported products offered for entry into the United States. In pursuit of its mission, ORA also works with its state, local, tribal, territorial and foreign counterparts.

The Office of Regulatory Affairs (ORA), Office of Regulatory Science (ORS), operates 13 laboratories, located strategically across the United States.

**Field Science and Laboratories locations**Under ORA’s new program-based management model, there are seven key programs for operations (Biological Products, Bioresearch Monitoring, Human and Animal Food, Medical Devices and Radiological Health, Pharmaceutical Quality, Tobacco and Imports).  Each program has a unique number of program divisions for a total of 28 operational divisions
