/>i- Earlier this month, the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) and more than 100 manufacturing associations sent a letter to President-Elect Trump making the case that increased regulatory compliance obligations have created a challenging business environment in the U.S. and outlining a list of de-regulatory actions that they believe will support industrial growth.
- The letter outlines regulatory proposals across a wide range of industrial sectors and regulations, including environmental, chemical, labor and employment, and intellectual property regulations, as well as FDA’s food traceability rule applicable to certain higher risk foods (21 CFR part 1, subpart S).
- In regard to the food traceability rule, the letter requests that the Trump administration “make these requirements more flexible and streamlined,” extend the 2026 compliance deadline by at least 3 years, and collaborate with industry on pilot projects.
- This follows significant concerns expressed by the food industry over practical difficulties with the rule’s requirements, including concerns expressed at an October 7, 2024, virtual public meeting hosted by the Reagan-Udall Foundation. Industry comments at that meeting highlighted the complexity of the rule and difficulty in implementation, particularly with challenges related to overhauling IT systems, which are currently unsynchronized throughout the supply chain.
