Benefits of Proposed Rule Reducing adulterated animal food incidents would: –Reduce the risk of serious illness and death to animals –Reduce the risk of adverse health effects to humans handling animal food, and –Reduce the risk of consuming human food derived from animals that consumed contaminated food 2

Total Domestic Costs 5 Total annualized domestic costs –$500k : $95 million –$1 million : $89 million –$2.5 million : $65 million –Average Annualized Cost: $17,700 per facility* (* facilities subject to both GMPs and preventive controls handling only animal food)

6 Total Foreign Costs Total annualized foreign costs –$500k : $34 million –$1 million : $30 million –$2.5 million : $22 million

7 Major Costs to Facilities Subject to Hazard Analysis and Preventive Controls Requirements Major costs are for: –Hazard analysis –Process controls –Various sanitation controls –Monitoring and verification activities –Corrective actions

8 Costs to Qualified Facilities Total annualized cost under each option –$500k : $2.7 million –$1 million : $3.6 million –$2.5 million : $6.8 million –Average Annualized Cost: $1,800 per facility Learn about rule Attest to qualified status One-time label change Additional labor for GMPs

9 Domestic Facility Count The rule covers most facilities required to register with FDA –We estimate 6,300 domestic facilities –Includes most FDA-regulated animal food establishments in the U.S. –Another 6,800 domestic facilities handle foods for both humans and animals

12 Example of an Estimated Cost to a Facility Hazard analysis –Initial cost to conduct hazard analysis and create a written report 24 hours x average cost of $88/hour –Annual costs to update hazard analysis 50% of initial cost

13 Primary Data Sources ERG Report – Cost analysis of draft rule FDA Food Registration Database CVM/FDA subject matter experts Food GMP Survey – current/baseline industry practices

14 Primary Data Sources (cont.) Industry experts – expert elicitation about food industry practices Bureau of Labor Statistics, occupational employment statistics for animal food industry (2012) Economic Census data (2007) for facility sizes
