## Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract
 AFRPS Face-to-Face
 PAR-16-378 Application
In 2011, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and AAFCO entered into a partnership to
develop the AFRPS and the AFRPS were initially launched in January 2014. These standards are
designed to promote uniformity and consistency among animal feed regulatory programs and are
consistent with the principles of the FSMA.
Twenty-two (22) states have elected to implement the AFRPS and are required to attend an
annual meeting known as the AFRPS Face-to-Face. Each of those States are required to send
two (2) employees from the State Program and two (2) employees from the Laboratory to attend
each Face-to-Face meeting.
The meeting allows for the both groups to gather together and share best practices and any
lessons learned as well as the opportunity to address any concerns that have been identified and
discuss possible solutions to overcome any challenges. Many FDA personnel from varying
Divisions and Offices are present during the Face-to-Face meeting to provide helpful insight and
guidance.
In 2018 the Face-to-Face will be held March 20th through noon on March 22nd at the Omni Hotel
in Jacksonville, Florida. The 2018 agenda will be developed to capitalize on the implemented
work in order to assist those States that are in need of guidance to achieve implementation or
accreditation.
The multiple year funding received from the grant will be utilized to further enhance the
collaborative efforts of all those States Programs which are currently enrolled in the AFRPS and
the State Laboratories that are working to achieve ISO 17025:2005 Accreditation. In addition,
funding may be utilized to support travel for personnel from those States which wish to
voluntarily implement the AFRPS to attend the meeting as well.
