Background and Discussion:

This confidentiality agreement is to facilitate the sharing of non-public food (human food, pet food, and animal feed), dietary supplements and cosmetic related information (referred to as non-public food information). The reference to “non-public information” covered by this agreement includes information subject to limitations on public disclosure under federal law and regulations. For Food and Drug Administration (FDA) documents shared under this agreement, this may include confidential commercial information, personal privacy information, pre-decisional information, deliberative information, and law enforcement records. Trade secrets may not be shared under this agreement. Any request to share non-public information outside of the agency must be approved in advance by FDA.

 

Expected Impact:

This Long-Term Limited Scope Food, Feed and Cosmetics Information Sharing Agreement (ISA) allows for the (division) head of the Local Public Health agency to affirm that the non-public information provided by FDA will not be disclosed with anyone outside of their agency without written confirmation from FDA that such information can be released to the public.

 

Alternative Options:

There is no alternative option.
