Statement by the Personal Care Products Council on FDA Allowing Additional Time to Comply with MoCRA Registration and Listing Requirements
WASHINGTON – “The Personal Care Products Council (PCPC) supports the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) announcement to exercise enforcement discretion on Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act’s (MoCRA) facility registration and product listing compliance deadline for six months – moving the compliance date from Dec. 29, 2023, to July 1, 2024.
“PCPC provided feedback to the FDA on the development of an efficient electronic submission program (Cosmetics Direct) and recognizes that the FDA’s development of Cosmetics Direct is ongoing. PCPC will continue to offer feedback to the FDA on the agency’s implementation of MoCRA and is encouraging member companies to prepare for registration and listing. PCPC has shared FDA’s instructions with member companies on obtaining an FDA-assigned Establishment Identifier (FEI) number for each facility that is manufacturing or processing cosmetic products, as needed. PCPC has also shared information with member companies to help facilitate communications between companies that intend to coordinate their registration and listing activities.
“PCPC looks forward to the FDA’s public launch of Cosmetics Direct once the platform is complete.”
