| 2020-21522 | Importation of Prescription Drugs | Rule | The Secretary of Health and Human Services (Secretary) is issuing a final rule to implement a provision of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) to allow importation of certain prescription drugs from Canada. Under this final rule, States and Indian Tribes, and in certain future circumstances pharmacists and wholesalers, may submit importation program proposals to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the Agency, or we) for review and authorization. An importation program may be cosponsored by a State, Indian Tribe, pharmacist, or wholesaler. The final rule contains all requirements necessary for a sponsor to demonstrate that their importation program will pose no additional risk to the public's health and safety. In addition, the final rule requires that the sponsor explain how they will ensure their program will result in a significant reduction in the cost of covered products to the American consumer. | 2020-10-01 | 2020 | 10 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/10/01/2020-21522/importation-of-prescription-drugs | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2020-10-01/pdf/2020-21522.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Food and Drug Administration | 221,199 | The Secretary of Health and Human Services (Secretary) is issuing a final rule to implement a provision of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) to allow importation of certain prescription drugs from Canada.
