        customary or usual. The Secretary shall not consider a cosmetic 
        ingredient or cosmetic product injurious to users solely 
        because it can cause minor and transient reactions or minor and 
        transient skin irritations in some users. In determining for

not later than 18 months after the date of enactment of the 
Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022, and not later than 
180 days after the date on which the public comment period on the 
proposed rulemaking closes, shall issue a final rulemaking. In 
promulgating regulations implementing this subsection, the Secretary 
shall consider international, State, and local requirements for 
allergen disclosure, including the substance and format of requirements 
in the European Union, and may establish threshold levels of amounts of

        as drug shortages, limited medication alternatives and 
        competition, supply chain resiliency, and specific products 
        where there is insufficient market demand to induce 
        manufacturers to continue to offer certain prescription drugs.
            (2) Whether, and to what extent, the Secretary of Health 
        and Human Services should consider changes to future user fee

                    ``(v) Special approval status rule for certain 
                subsequent applicants.--An application that is approved 
                pursuant to subclause (III) of subparagraph (B)(iv) is 
                deemed to be tentatively approved and to no longer have 
                an effective approval pursuant to such subclause (III) 
                on the date that is 76 days after the date on which the 
                approval has been made effective pursuant to such 
                subclause (III) if the applicant fails to commercially 
                market such drug within the 75-day period after the 
                date on which the approval is made effective. If the 
                applicant of an application approved pursuant to such 
                subclause (III) submits a notification that it can no 
                longer commence commercial marketing within 75 days 
                after the date of approval, as required under 
                subparagraph (B)(iv)(III)(bb), its application is 
                deemed to be tentatively approved and to no longer be 
                effectively approved on the date that such a 
                notification is received. If an applicant does not 
                commence commercial marketing within the 75-day period, 
                it shall not be eligible for a subsequent effective 
                approval for the application under subclause (III) of 
                subparagraph (B)(iv) unless, in addition to meeting 
                each of the conditions in such subclause (III), it 
                submits a certification to its abbreviated new drug 
                application that an event that could not have been 
                reasonably foreseen by the applicant prevented it from 
                commencing commercial marketing and that it has fully 
                resolved this issue. The applicant shall submit 
                notification to the abbreviated new drug application 
                confirming that such applicant has commenced commercial 
                marketing of the drug not later than one business day 
                after commencing such marketing.''.
    (c) Applicability.--The amendments made by subsections (a) and (b) 
shall apply only with respect to an application filed under section 
505(j) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355(j)) 
after the date of enactment of this Act that identifies a listed drug 
for which no certification under paragraph (2)(A)(vii)(IV) of such 
section was made before such date of enactment.

Workforce Plan, shall include an evaluation of the progress the 
Secretary has made, based on the metrics, benchmarks, and other

improved the capacity of the Food and Drug Administration to achieve 
the strategic goals and priorities set forth in the previous Food and

ingredients in the specific fragrances or flavors in the cosmetic

    ``(a) In General.--The Secretary shall by regulation establish good 
manufacturing practices for facilities that are consistent, to the 
extent practicable, and appropriate, with national and international 
standards, in accordance with section 601. Any such regulations shall

products are not adulterated. Such regulations may allow for the 
Secretary to inspect records necessary to demonstrate compliance with 
good manufacturing practices prescribed by the Secretary under this 
paragraph during an inspection conducted under section 704.
    ``(b) Considerations.--In establishing regulations for good 
manufacturing practices under this section, the Secretary shall take 
into account the size and scope of the businesses engaged in the 
manufacture of cosmetics, and the risks to public health posed by such 
cosmetics, and provide sufficient flexibility to be practicable for all 
sizes and types of facilities to which such regulations will apply. 
Such regulations shall include simplified good manufacturing practice 
requirements for smaller businesses, as appropriate, to ensure that 
such regulations do not impose undue economic hardship for smaller 
businesses, and may include longer compliance times for smaller 
businesses. Before issuing regulations to implement subsection (a), the 
Secretary shall consult with cosmetics manufacturers, including smaller 
businesses, consumer organizations, and other experts selected by the 
Secretary.

        Secretary determines that a cosmetic product manufactured or 
        processed by a registered facility and distributed in the 
        United States has a reasonable probability of causing serious 
        adverse health consequences or death to humans and the 
        Secretary has a reasonable belief that other products 
        manufactured or processed by the facility may be similarly 
        affected because of a failure that cannot be isolated to a 
        product or products, or is sufficiently pervasive to raise 
        concerns about other products manufactured in the facility.
            ``(2) Notice of suspension.--Before suspending a facility 
        registration under this section, the Secretary shall provide--
                    ``(A) notice to the facility registrant of the 
                cosmetic product or other responsible person, as 
                appropriate, of the intent to suspend the facility 
                registration, which shall specify the basis of the 
                determination by the Secretary that the facility 
                registration should be suspended; and

                notice provided under subparagraph (A), for the 
                responsible person to provide a plan for addressing the 
                reasons for possible suspension of the facility 
                registration.
            ``(3) Hearing on suspension.--The Secretary shall provide 
        the registrant subject to an order under paragraph (1) or (2) 
        with an opportunity for an informal hearing, to be held as soon 
        as possible but not later than 5 business days after the 
        issuance of the order, or such other time period agreed upon by 
        the Secretary and the registrant, on the actions required for 
        reinstatement of registration and why the registration that is 
        subject to the suspension should be reinstated. The Secretary 
        shall reinstate a registration if the Secretary determines, 
        based on evidence presented, that adequate grounds do not exist 
        to continue the suspension of the registration.
            ``(4) Post-hearing corrective action plan.--If, after 
        providing opportunity for an informal hearing under paragraph 
        (3), the Secretary determines that the suspension of 
        registration remains necessary, the Secretary shall require the 
        registrant to submit a corrective action plan to demonstrate 
        how the registrant plans to correct the conditions found by the 
        Secretary. The Secretary shall review such plan not later than 
        14 business days after the submission of the corrective action 
        plan or such other time period as determined by the Secretary, 
        in consultation with the registrant.
            ``(5) Vacating of order; reinstatement.--Upon a 
        determination by the Secretary that adequate grounds do not 
        exist to continue the suspension actions, the Secretary shall 
        promptly vacate the suspension and reinstate the registration 
        of the facility.
            ``(6) Effect of suspension.--If the registration of the 
        facility is suspended under this section, no person shall 
        introduce or deliver for introduction into commerce in the 
        United States cosmetic products from such facility.
            ``(7) No delegation.--The authority conferred by this 
        section to issue an order to suspend a registration or vacate 
        an order of suspension shall not be delegated to any officer or 
        employee other than the Commissioner.

    ``(c) Definitions.--For purposes of this section:
            ``(1) Adequate substantiation of safety.--The term 
        `adequate substantiation of safety' means tests or studies, 
        research, analyses, or other evidence or information that is 
        considered, among experts qualified by scientific training and 
        experience to evaluate the safety of cosmetic products and 
        their ingredients, sufficient to support a reasonable certainty 
        that a cosmetic product is safe.
            ``(2) Safe.--The term `safe' means that the cosmetic 
        product, including any ingredient thereof, is not injurious to 
        users under the conditions of use prescribed in the labeling 
        thereof, or under such conditions of use as are customary or 
        usual. The Secretary shall not consider a cosmetic ingredient 
        or cosmetic product injurious to users solely because it can 
        cause minor and transient reactions or minor and transient skin 
        irritations in some users. In determining for purposes of this 
        section whether a cosmetic product is safe, the Secretary may 
        consider, as appropriate and available, the cumulative or other 
        relevant exposure to the cosmetic product, including any 
        ingredient thereof.

``SEC. 609. LABELING.

    ``(a) General Requirement.--Each cosmetic product shall bear a 
label that includes a domestic address, domestic phone number, or 
electronic contact information, which may include a website, through 
which the responsible person can receive adverse event reports with 
respect to such cosmetic product.
    ``(b) Fragrance Allergens.--The responsible person shall identify 
on the label of a cosmetic product each fragrance allergen included in 
such cosmetic product. Substances that are fragrance allergens for 
purposes of this subsection shall be determined by the Secretary by 
regulation. The Secretary shall issue a notice of proposed rulemaking 
promulgating the regulation implementing this requirement not later 
than 18 months after the date of enactment of the Modernization of 
Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022, and not later than 180 days after the 
date on which the public comment period on the proposed rulemaking 
closes, shall issue a final rulemaking. In promulgating regulations 
implementing this subsection, the Secretary shall consider 
international, State, and local requirements for allergen disclosure, 
including the substance and format of requirements in the European 
Union, and may establish threshold levels of amounts of substances 
subject to disclosure pursuant to such regulations.
    ``(c) Cosmetic Products for Professional Use.--
            ``(1) Definition of professional.--For purposes of this 
        subsection, the term `professional' means an individual who is 
        licensed by an official State authority to practice in the 
        field of cosmetology, nail care, barbering, or esthetics.
            ``(2) Professional use labeling.--A cosmetic product 
        introduced into interstate commerce and intended to be used 
        only by a professional shall bear a label that--
                    ``(A) contains a clear and prominent statement that 
                the product shall be administered or used only by 
                licensed professionals; and

                Secretary for cosmetics labeling under this Act and 
                section 4(a) of the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act.

``SEC. 610. RECORDS.

    ``(a) In General.--If the Secretary has a reasonable belief that a 
cosmetic product, including an ingredient in such cosmetic product, and 
any other cosmetic product that the Secretary reasonably believes is 
likely to be affected in a similar manner, is likely to be adulterated 
such that the use or exposure to such product presents a threat of 
serious adverse health consequences or death to humans, each 
responsible person and facility shall, at the request of an officer or 
employee duly designated by the Secretary, permit such officer or 
employee, upon presentation of appropriate credentials and a written 
notice to such person, at reasonable times and within reasonable limits 
and in a reasonable manner, to have access to and copy all records 
relating to such cosmetic product, and to any other cosmetic product 
that the Secretary reasonably believes is likely to be affected in a 
similar manner, that are needed to assist the Secretary in determining 
whether the cosmetic product is adulterated and presents a threat of 
serious adverse health consequences or death to humans. This subsection 
shall not be construed to extend to recipes or formulas for cosmetics, 
financial data, pricing data, personnel data (other than data as to 
qualification of technical and professional personnel performing 
functions subject to this Act), research data (other than safety 
substantiation data for cosmetic products and their ingredients), or 
sales data (other than shipment data regarding sales).
    ``(b) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be 
construed to limit the authority of the Secretary to inspect records or 
require establishment and maintenance of records under any other 
provision of this Act, including section 605 or 606.

``SEC. 611. MANDATORY RECALL AUTHORITY.

    ``(a) In General.--If the Secretary determines that there is a 
reasonable probability that a cosmetic is adulterated under section 601 
or misbranded under section 602 and the use of or exposure to such 
cosmetic will cause serious adverse health consequences or death, the 
Secretary shall provide the responsible person with an opportunity to 
voluntarily cease distribution and recall such article. If the 
responsible person refuses to or does not voluntarily cease 
distribution or recall such cosmetic within the time and manner 
prescribed by the Secretary (if so prescribed), the Secretary may, by 
order, require, as the Secretary determines necessary, such person to 
immediately cease distribution of such article.
    ``(b) Hearing.--The Secretary shall provide the responsible person

``SEC. 587X. POSTMARKET SURVEILLANCE.

    ``(a) In General.--
            ``(1) In general.--In addition to other applicable 
        requirements under this Act, the Secretary may issue an order 
        requiring a developer of a high-risk or moderate-risk in vitro 
        clinical test to conduct postmarket surveillance of such in 
        vitro clinical test, if the failure of the in vitro clinical 
        test is reasonably likely to result in serious adverse health 
        consequences or death from use of such in vitro clinical test.
            ``(2) Consideration.--In determining whether to require a 
        developer to conduct postmarket surveillance of an in vitro 
        clinical test, the Secretary shall take into consideration the 
        benefits and risks for the patient and the least burdensome 
        requirements under section 587AA(c).
    ``(b) Surveillance Approval.--
            ``(1) In general.--Each developer required to conduct 
        surveillance of an in vitro clinical test shall submit, within 
        30 days of receiving an order from the Secretary, a plan for 
        the required surveillance. The Secretary, within 60 days of the 
        receipt of such plan, shall determine if the person designated 
        to conduct the surveillance has the appropriate qualifications 
        and experience to undertake such surveillance and if the plan 
        will result in useful data that can reveal unforeseen adverse 
        events or other information necessary to protect the health of 
        patients or the public.
            ``(2) Timeline.--The developer shall commence surveillance 
        under this section not later than 15 months after the day on 
        which the Secretary orders such postmarket surveillance, unless 
        the Secretary determines more time is needed to commence 
        surveillance.
            ``(3) Prospective surveillance.--The Secretary may order a 
        prospective surveillance period of up to 3 years. Any 
        determination by the Secretary that a longer period is 
        necessary shall be made by mutual agreement between the 
        Secretary and the developer or, if no agreement can be reached, 
        upon the completion of a dispute resolution process pursuant to 
        section 562.

``SEC. 587Y. ELECTRONIC FORMAT FOR SUBMISSIONS.

    ``(a) In General.--All submissions to the Food and Drug 
Administration with respect to an in vitro clinical test, unless 
otherwise agreed to by the Secretary, shall--
            ``(1) be made electronically; and
            ``(2) with respect to the information required under 
        sections 587B and 587D, utilize the system described in section 
        587T.
    ``(b) Electronic Format.--Beginning on such date as the Secretary 
specifies in final guidance issued under subsection (c), submissions 
for in vitro clinical tests, including recommendations submitted by 
accredited and recognized persons under section 587Q, and any appeals 
of action taken by the Secretary with respect to such submissions, 
shall be submitted in such electronic format as specified by the 
Secretary in such guidance.
    ``(c) Guidance.--The Secretary shall issue guidance implementing 
this section. Such guidance may--
            ``(1) provide standards for the electronic submission 
        required under subsection (a) or the submission in electronic 
        format required under subsection (b);
            ``(2) set forth criteria for waivers of, or exemptions 
        from, the requirements of subsection (a) or (b); and
            ``(3) provide any other information for the efficient 
        implementation and enforcement of this section.

``SEC. 587Z. POSTMARKET REMEDIES.

    ``(a) Safety Notice.--
            ``(1) In general.--If the Secretary determines that an in 
        vitro clinical test presents an unreasonable risk of 
        substantial harm to the public health, and notification under 
        this subsection is necessary to eliminate the unreasonable risk 
        of such harm and no more practicable means is available under 
        the provisions of this Act (other than this section) to 
        eliminate the risk, the Secretary may issue such order as may 
        be necessary to ensure that adequate safety notice is provided 
        in an appropriate form, by the persons and means best suited 
        under the circumstances, to all health care professionals who 
        prescribe, order, or use the in vitro clinical test and to any 
        other person (including developers, importers, distributors, 
        retailers, and users) who should properly receive such notice.
            ``(2) Notice to individuals.--An order under this 
        subsection shall require that the individuals subject to the 
        risk with respect to which the order is to be issued be 
        included in the persons to be notified of the risk unless the 
        Secretary determines that notice to such individuals would 
        present a greater danger to the health of such individuals than 
        no such notice. If the Secretary makes such a determination 
        with respect to such individuals, the order shall require the 
        health care professionals who prescribed, ordered, or used the 
        in vitro clinical test provide notification to the individuals 
        for whom the health professionals prescribed, ordered, or used 
        such test, of the risk presented by such in vitro clinical test 
        and of any action which may be taken by or on behalf of such 
        individuals to eliminate or reduce such risk. Before issuing an 
        order under this subsection, the Secretary shall consult with 
        the persons required to give notice under the order.

            ``(1) Determination after an informal hearing.--
                    ``(A) In general.--If, after affording opportunity 
                for an informal hearing, the Secretary determines

                        the state of the art as it existed at the time 
                        of its development;

                        believe that the unreasonable risk was not 
                        caused by failure of a person other than a 
                        developer, importer, distributor, or retailer 
                        of the in vitro clinical test to exercise due

                the Secretary may order the developer, importer, or any 
                distributor of such in vitro clinical test, or any 
                combination of such persons, to submit to him within a 
                reasonable time a plan for taking one or more of the 
                actions described in paragraph (2). An order issued 
                under the preceding sentence which is directed to more 
                than one person shall specify which person may decide 
                which action shall be taken under such plan and the 
                person specified shall be the person who the Secretary 
                determines bears the principal, ultimate financial 
                responsibility for action taken under the plan unless 
                the Secretary cannot determine who bears such 
                responsibility or the Secretary determines that the 
                protection of the public health requires that such 
                decision be made by a person (including a health 
                professional or user of the in vitro clinical test) 
                other than the person the Secretary determines bears 
                such responsibility.
                    ``(B) Secretary approval of plan.--The Secretary 
                shall approve a plan submitted pursuant to an order 
                issued under subparagraph (A) unless the Secretary 
                determines (after affording opportunity for an informal 
                hearing) that the action or actions to be taken under 
                the plan or the manner in which such action or actions 
                are to be taken under the plan will not assure that the 
                unreasonable risk with respect to which such order was 
                issued will be eliminated. If the Secretary disapproves 
                a plan, the Secretary shall order a revised plan to be 
                submitted within a reasonable time. If the Secretary 
                determines (after affording opportunity for an informal 
                hearing) that the revised plan is unsatisfactory or if 
                no revised plan or no initial plan has been submitted 
                to the Secretary within the prescribed time, the

importer, distributor, or retailer of such in vitro clinical test for 
such other person's expenses actually incurred in connection with 
carrying out the order if the Secretary determines such reimbursement 
is required for the protection of the public health. Any such 
requirement shall not affect any rights or obligations under any 
contract to which the person receiving reimbursement or the person 
making such reimbursement is a party.

                                        funding necessary to address 
                                        the shortage.
            (3) Sunset.--This subsection shall cease to have force or 
        effect on of September 30, 2026.
    (h) Coordination With Manufacturer.--
            (1) In general.--
                    (A) Communication following inspection.--Upon 
                completing an inspection of an infant formula 
                manufacturing facility impacted by a recall, the 
                Secretary, acting through the Commissioner of Food and 
                Drugs, shall provide the manufacturer involved a list 
                of any actions necessary to--
                            (i) address deficiencies contributing to 
                        the potential adulteration or misbranding of 
                        product at the facility; and
                            (ii) safely restart production at the 
                        facility.
                    (B) Response to manufacturer.--Not later than 7 
                days after receiving a written communication from a

        Secretary of Agriculture and other heads of relevant 
        departments and agencies, shall develop and issue, not later 
        than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, a 
        national strategy on infant formula to increase the resiliency 
        of the infant formula supply chain, protect against future 
        contamination and other potential causes of shortages, and 
        ensure parents and caregivers have access to formula and 
        information they need.
            (2) National strategy.--The national strategy under 
        paragraph (1) shall--
                    (A) increase the resiliency of the infant formula 
                supply chain in the short-term by--
                            (i) assessing causes of the current 
                        shortage and potential causes of future 
                        shortages,
                            (ii) assessing and addressing immediate

                    (B) improve preparedness against infant formula 
                shortages in the long-term by--
                            (i) outlining methods to improve 
                        information-sharing between the Federal 
                        Government and State and local governments, and 
                        other entities as appropriate, regarding 
                        shortages;
                            (ii) recommending measures for protecting

                        and mitigate future shortages; and
                            (iv) recommending other necessary 
                        authorities to gain insight into the supply 
                        chain and risk for shortages, and to 
                        incentivize new infant formula manufacturers; 
                        and
                    (C) ensure the development and updating of 
                education and communication materials for parents and 
                caregivers that cover--
                            (i) where and how to find infant formula;
                            (ii) comparable infant formulas on the 
                        market,
                            (iii) what to do if a medical or specialty 
                        infant formula is unavailable;
                            (iv) safe practices for handling infant

``SEC. 424. REQUIREMENTS FOR CRITICAL FOOD.

    ``(a) Notification of Meaningful Disruption for Critical Food.--
            ``(1) In general.--A manufacturer of a critical food (as 
        defined in section 201(tt)) shall notify the Secretary of a 
        permanent discontinuance in the manufacture or an interruption 
        of the manufacture of such food that is likely to lead to a 
        meaningful disruption in the supply of such food in the United 
        States, and the reasons for such discontinuance or 
        interruption, as soon as practicable, but not later than 5 
        business days after such discontinuance or such interruption.
            ``(2) Distribution of information.--Not later than 5 
        calendar days after receiving a notification under paragraph 
        (1), the Secretary shall distribute, to the Secretary of 
        Agriculture and to the maximum extent practicable to the 
        appropriate entities, as determined by the Secretary through 
        such means as the Secretary determines appropriate, information 
        on the meaningful disruption of a critical food reported under 
        this subsection.
            ``(3) Confidentiality.--Nothing in this subsection 
        authorizes the Secretary to disclose any information that is a 
        trade secret or confidential information subject to section 
        552(b)(4) of title 5, United States Code, or section 1905 of 
        title 18, United States Code.
            ``(4) Meaningful disruption.--In this subsection, the term 
        `meaningful disruption'--
                    ``(A) means a change in production that is 
                reasonably likely to lead to a significant reduction in 
                the supply of a critical food by a manufacturer that 
                affects the ability of the manufacturer to meet 
                expected demand for its product; and
                    ``(B) does not include interruptions in 
                manufacturing due to matters such as routine 
                maintenance or insignificant changes in manufacturing 
                so long as the manufacturer expects to resume 
                operations in a short period of time.
    ``(b) Risk Management Plans.--Each manufacturer of a critical food 
shall develop, maintain, and implement, as appropriate, a redundancy 
risk management plan that identifies and evaluates risks to the supply 
of the food, as applicable, for each establishment in which such food 
is manufactured. A risk management plan under this subsection--
            ``(1) may identify and evaluate risks to the supply of more 
        than one critical food, or critical food category, manufactured 
        at the same establishment; and
            ``(2) shall be subject to inspection and copying by the 
        Secretary pursuant to an inspection under section 704.
    ``(c) Failure to Meet Requirements.--
            ``(1) In general.--If a person fails to submit information 
        required under, and in accordance with, subsection (a)--
                    ``(A) the Secretary shall issue a letter to such 
                person informing such person of such failure; and
                    ``(B) not later than 45 calendar days after the 
                issuance of a letter under subparagraph (A), subject to 
                paragraph (2), the Secretary shall make available to 
                the public on the website of the Food and Drug 
                Administration, with appropriate redactions made to 
                protect the information described in subsection 
                (a)(3)--
                            ``(i) the letter issued under subparagraph 
                        (A); and
                            ``(ii) at the request of such person, any 
                        response to such letter such person submitted 
                        to the Secretary.
            ``(2) Exception.--If the Secretary determines that the 
        letter under paragraph (1) was issued in error or, after review 
        of such response, the person had a reasonable basis for not 
        submitting a notification as required under subsection (m), the 
        requirements of paragraph (1)(B) shall not apply.''.
    (k) Specialty Infant Formula for Importation.--Section 412 of the 
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 350a), as amended by 
subsection (f)(2), is further amended by adding at the end the 
following:
    ``(m) Waiver of Requirements for Importation of Specialty Infant 
Formula.--
            ``(1) In general.--The Secretary may, during a shortage of 
        specialty infant formula as determined by the Secretary, waive 
        any requirement under this Act applicable to facilitate the 
        importation of specialty infant formula. Such a waiver may be 
        applicable to--
                    ``(A) the importation of specialty infant formula 
                from any country that is determined by the Secretary to 
                be implementing and enforcing requirements for infant 
                formula that provide a similar assurance of safety as 
                the regulatory requirements of this Act; or
                    ``(B) the distribution and sale of such imported 
                specialty infant formula.
            ``(2) Rule of construction.--Nothing in paragraph (1) shall 
        be construed to limit the authority of the Secretary to require 
        a recall of, or otherwise impose restrictions and requirements 
        under this Act with respect to, specialty infant formula that 
        is subject to a waiver under paragraph (1).
            ``(3) Definition of specialty infant formula.--In this 
        subsection, the term `specialty infant formula' means infant 
        formula, including amino acid-based formula, intended for use 
        by individuals who have inborn errors of metabolism or low 
        birth weight, or who otherwise have unusual medical or dietary 
        problems.''.
    (l) Importation for Personal Use.--
            (1) In general.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
        law, during the 90-day period beginning on the date of 
        enactment of this Act, a person may, without prior notice to 
        the Food and Drug Administration, import up to a 3-month supply 
        of infant formula for personal use from--
                    (A) Canada;
                    (B) any country in the European Union; or
                    (C) any other country that is determined by the 
                Secretary, acting through the Commissioner of Food and 
                Drugs, to have safety standards for infant formula 
                similar to such standards applicable under the Federal 
                Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.).
            (2) Limitations.--Infant formula may be imported pursuant 
        to paragraph (1) only if the infant formula--
                    (A) is exclusively for personal use and will not be 
                commercialized or promoted; and
                    (B) does not present an unreasonable risk to human 
                health.
            (3) Reporting of adverse events.--If a health care provider 
        becomes aware of any adverse event which the health care 
        provider reasonably suspects to be associated with infant 
        formula imported pursuant to paragraph (1), the health care 
        provider shall report such adverse event to the Commissioner of 
        Food and Drugs.
            (4) Public notice.--The Secretary, acting through the 
        Commissioner of Food and Drugs, shall post on the public 
        website of the Food and Drug Administration notice that--
                    (A) infant formula imported pursuant to paragraph 
                (1) may not have been manufactured in a facility that 
                has been inspected by the Food and Drug Administration;
                    (B) the labeling of such infant formula may not 
                meet the standards and other requirements applicable 
                with respect to infant formula under the Federal Food, 
                Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.); and
                    (C) the nutritional content of the infant formula 
                may vary from that of infant formula meeting such 
                standards and other requirements.
            (5) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
        persons considering the personal importation of infant formula 
        should consult with their pediatrician about such importation.

        consistent with a predetermined change control plan that is 
        approved pursuant to paragraph (2).
            ``(2) Predetermined change control plan.--The Secretary may 
        approve a predetermined change control plan submitted in an 
        application, including a supplemental application, under 
        section 515 that describes planned changes that may be made to 
        the device (and that would otherwise require a supplemental 
        application under section 515), if the device remains safe and 
        effective without any change.
            ``(3) Scope.--The Secretary may require that a change 
        control plan include labeling required for safe and effective

        consistent with an established predetermined change control 
        plan granted pursuant to paragraph (2).
            ``(2) Predetermined change control plan.--The Secretary may 
        clear a predetermined change control plan submitted in a 
        notification submitted under section 510(k) that describes 
        planned changes that may be made to the device (and that would 
        otherwise require a new notification), if--

                any such change; and
                    ``(B) the device would remain substantially 
                equivalent to the predicate.

        control plan include labeling required for safe and effective 
        use of the device as such device changes pursuant to such plan, 
        notification requirements if the device does not function as 
        intended pursuant to such plan, and performance requirements 
        for changes made under the plan.
    ``(c) Predicate Devices.--In making a determination of substantial 
equivalence pursuant to section 513(i), the Secretary shall not compare 
a device to changed versions of a device implemented in accordance with 
an established predetermined change control plan as a predicate device. 
Only the version of the device cleared or approved, prior to changes 
made under the predetermined change control plan, may be used by a 
sponsor as a predicate device.''.
    (b) Conforming Amendments.--
            (1) Cleared devices.--Section 510(l)(1) of the Federal 
        Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360(l)(1)) is amended, 
        in the first sentence, by inserting ``, or with respect to a 
        change that is consistent with a predetermined change control 
        plan cleared under section 515C'' before the period at the end.
            (2) Approved devices.--Section 515(d)(5)(A)(i) of the 
        Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 
        360e(d)(5)(A)(i)) is amended by striking ``A supplemental'' and 
        inserting ``Unless the change is consistent with a 
        predetermined change control plan approved under section 515C, 
        a supplemental''.
            (3) Documentation of rationale for significant decisions.--
        Section 517A(a)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
