Introduction
In November 6, 2007 the Interagency Working Group on Import Safety (Working
Group) presented to President Bush its Action
Plan for Import Safety (Action Plan), which contains short- and long-term
recommendations for continuing to improve the safety of imports entering
the United States. The Action Plan contains 14 broad recommendations
and 50 action steps that provide a road map for better protecting American
consumers and enhancing the safety of the increasing volume of imports
entering the United States. The Action Plan is the product of extensive
coordination among Federal agencies, months of hands-on information-gathering,
and feedback and suggestions from the private sector and the public. The
Working Group issued a Strategic Framework on September 10, 2007 Protecting
Americans Every Step of the Way: A strategic framework for continual improvement
in import safety.
FDA is currently taking steps to implement the Action
Plan for Import Safety.
