PART 58--GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICE FOR NONCLINICAL LABORATORY STUDIES--Table of Contents
 
            Subpart K--Disqualification of Testing Facilities
 
Sec. 58.213  Public disclosure of information regarding disqualification.

    (a) Upon issuance of a final order disqualifying a testing facility 
under Sec. 58.206(a), the Commissioner may notify all or any interested 
persons. Such notice may be given at the discretion of the Commissioner 
whenever he believes that such disclosure would further the public 
interest or would promote compliance with the good laboratory practice 
regulations set forth in this part. Such notice, if given, shall include 
a copy of the final order issued under Sec. 58.206(a) and shall state 
that the disqualification constitutes a determination by the Food and 
Drug Administration that nonclinical laboratory studies performed by the 
facility will not be considered by the Food and Drug Administration in 
support of any application for a research or marketing permit. If such 
notice is sent to another Federal Government agency, the Food and Drug 
Administration will recommend that the agency also consider whether or 
not it should accept nonclinical laboratory studies performed by the 
testing facility. If such notice is sent to any other person, it shall 
state that it is given because of the relationship between the testing 
facility and the person being notified and that the Food and Drug 
Administration is not advising or recommending that any action be taken 
by the person notified.
    (b) A determination that a testing facility has been disqualified 
and the administrative record regarding such determination are 
disclosable to the public under part 20 of this chapter.
