FDA Delays MoCRA Enforcement by 6 Months via Cosmetics & Toiletries

Today (Nov. 8, 2023) the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced it will delay the enforcement of the requirements for cosmetic product facility registration and product listing requirements under the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA) for an additional six months after the Dec. 29, 2023, deadline (i.e., July 1, 2024) to ensure the industry has sufficient time to submit such information.

In addition, the FDA does not intend to enforce the registration requirement for owners or operators of facilities that first engaged in manufacturing or processing a cosmetic product after Dec. 29, 2022, or the listing requirement for cosmetic products first marketed after Dec. 29, 2022, until the July 1, 2024 deadline.

Furthermore, in response to the recent MoCRA submission portal delay, the FDA has advised it will be ready to accept registration and listing information by the statutory deadline of Dec. 29, 2023, and encourages companies to meet that deadline if they are able to do so, according to a Duane Morris blog post.
