SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

public workshop is being held in 

response to the large volume of food 

protection concerns from food 

establishments (such as farms, 

manufacturers, processors, distributors, 

retailers, and restaurants) originating 

from the area covered by the FDA Dallas 

District Office. The SWRO presents this 

workshop to help achieve objectives set 

forth in section 406 of the Food and 

Drug Administration Modernization Act 

of 1997 (21 U.S.C. 393), which include 

working closely with stakeholders and 

maximizing the availability and clarity 

of information to stakeholders and the 

public. This is consistent with the 

purposes of the Small Business 

Representative Program, which are in 

part to respond to industry inquiries, 

develop educational materials, sponsor 

workshops and conferences to provide 

firms, particularly small businesses, 

with firsthand working knowledge of 

FDA’s guidance, requirements, and 

compliance policies. This workshop is 

also consistent with the Small Business 

Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 

1996 (Public Law 104–121), as outreach 

activities by Government agencies to 

small businesses. 

The goal of this public workshop is to 

present information that will enable 

food establishments (such as farms, 

manufacturers, processors, distributors, 

retailers, and restaurants) to better 

comply with any regulations authorized 

by the Public Health Security and 

Bioterrorism Preparedness and 

Response Act of 2002 (the Bioterrorism 

Act) relevant to such establishments, 

and to be aware of recommendations in 

food protection guidance, especially in 

light of growing concerns about food 

safety and defense. Information 

presented will be based on regulations, 

guidances, and information previously 

made available to the public. Topics to 

be discussed at the workshop include: 

(1) Food defense programs, (2) good 

manufacturing practices, (3) reportable 

food registry, (4) Hazard Analysis 

Critical Control Point (HACCP), (5) good 

agricultural practices, (6) food recalls, 

(7) pathogens of public health concern, 

and (8) risk management and 

vulnerability assessments and other 

related topics. For more information, 

please visit http://www.uark.edu/ua/ 

foodpro/Workshops/Food_Safety_

Defense_Workshop.html. FDA expects 

that participation in this public 

workshop will provide regulated 

industry with greater understanding of 

the regulatory and guidance 

perspectives on food protection and 

increase voluntary compliance and food 

defense awareness.
