Sec.  1.233  What optional items are included in the registration form?



    FDA encourages, but does not require, you to submit the following 

items in your facility's registration. These data will enable FDA to 

communicate more quickly with facilities that may be the target of a 

terrorist threat or attack, or otherwise affected by an outbreak of 

foodborne illness. This information includes:

    (a) Fax number and e-mail address of the facility;

    (b) Preferred mailing address, if different from that of the 

facility;

    (c) Fax number and e-mail address of the parent company, if the 

facility is a subsidiary of the parent company;

    (d) For a domestic facility, emergency contact name, title, and e-

mail address;

    (e) For a foreign facility, an emergency contact name, title, phone 

number and e-mail address. FDA will consider the facility's U.S. agent 

the facility's emergency contact unless the facility chooses to 

designate another person to serve as an emergency contact under this 

section;
