Abstract

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, Agency, or we) is issuing a final rule revoking the regulations entitled "Mutual Recognition of Pharmaceutical Good Manufacturing Practice Reports, Medical Device Quality System Audit Reports, and Certain Medical Device Product Evaluation Reports: United States and The European Community." FDA is taking this action because the regulations at 21 CFR part 26 have been superseded in part by the "United States-European Union Amended Sectoral Annex for Pharmaceutical Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs)" that entered into force in 2017 (2017 Amended Pharmaceutical Annex), are outdated, do not reflect current Agency practice, and are unnecessary.
