    Effective Date Note: At 67 FR 5467, Feb. 6, 2002, part 900 was 
amended by adding Subpart C, consisting of Secs. 900.20-900.25, 
effective May 7, 2002.


    The regulations set forth in this part implement the Mammography 
Quality Standards Act (MQSA) (42 U.S.C. 263b). Subpart C of this part 
establishes procedures whereby a State can apply to become a FDA-
approved certification agency to certify facilities within the State to 
perform mammography services. Subpart C of this part further establishes 
requirements and standards for State certification agencies to ensure 
that all mammography facilities under their jurisdiction are adequately 
and consistently evaluated for compliance with quality standards at 
least as stringent as the national quality standards established by FDA.
