Memorandum of Understanding Between the Food and Drug
Administration, Department of Health and Human Services, of the United
States of America and the Certification and Accreditation
Administration of the People's Republic of China Covering Ceramicware
Intended for Use in the Preparation, Serving or Storage of Food or
Drink and Offered for Export to the United States of America
 
AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
 
ACTION: Notice.
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is providing notice of
a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the Food and Drug
Administration, Department of Health and Human Services, of the United
States of America and the Certification and Accreditation
Administration of the People's Republic of China (CNCA).
    The purpose of this MOU is to establish a certification system that
increases the likelihood that daily-use ceramicware manufactured in the
People's Republic of China (China) and offered for import into the
United States complies with U.S. law. To that end, this MOU sets forth
the criteria for certification of ceramicware to be exported directly
from China to the United States and intended for use in the
preparation, serving, or storage of food, and for certification of
firms in China that are manufacturing such ceramicware. These
certifications will enable FDA to reduce the frequency of its sampling
of daily-use ceramicware from factories in China certified by CNCA/
China Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureaus (CIQs) and offered
for import into the United States, in accordance with FDA's confidence
in the effectiveness of the CNCA/CIQ factory certification system.
 
DATES: The agreement became effective January 26, 2006 (last signature
date of the Chinese version of the MOU).
 
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matthew E. Eckel, Office of
International Programs (HFG-1), Food and Drug Administration, 5600
Fishers Lane, Rockville MD, 20857, 301-827-4480, FAX: 301-480-0716.
 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with 21 CFR 20.108(c), which
states that all written agreements and understandings between FDA and
others shall be published in the Federal Register, the agency is
publishing notice of this MOU.
 
    Dated: March 17, 2006.
Jeffrey Shuren,
Assistant Commissioner for Policy.
