Tom Harkin: “The second tool DSHEA provided to FDA is the authority to promulgate…”

On the recordOctober 25, 2001

The second tool DSHEA provided to FDA is the authority to promulgate new GMPs specifically for dietary supplements. Those regulations have been in development for the past several years, a source of great frustration to me and the Senator from Utah as well. We have written, called, and implored the Office of Management and Budget and the Department of Health and Human Services to release these regulations, which we understand have been ready in near-final form for almost a year. It is past time those regulations were issued.
