§117.260. Compliance with, or appeal of, an order to withdraw a qualified facility exemption.
21 C.F.R. § 117.260
If you receive an order under § 117.254 to withdraw a qualified facility exemption, you must either:
Comply with applicable requirements of this part within 120 calendar days of the date of receipt of the order, or within a reasonable timeframe, agreed to by FDA, based on a written justification, submitted to FDA, for a timeframe that exceeds 120 calendar days from the date of receipt of the order; or
Appeal the order within 15 calendar days of the date of receipt of the order in accordance with the requirements of § 117.264.
Submission of an appeal, including submission of a request for an informal hearing, will not operate to delay or stay any administrative action, including enforcement action by FDA, unless the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, as a matter of discretion, determines that delay or a stay is in the public interest.
If you appeal the order, and FDA confirms the order:
You must comply with applicable requirements of this part within 120 calendar days of the date of receipt of the order, or within a reasonable timeframe, agreed to by FDA, based on a written justification, submitted to FDA, for a timeframe that exceeds 120 calendar days from the date of receipt of the order; and
You are no longer subject to the modified requirements in § 117.201.
