Project Abstract The Minnesota Department of Agriculture is seeking funding under the FDA grant opportunity RFA-FD-15- 021, Implementation of the Animal Feed Regulatory Program Standards (AFRPS) (U18). The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Office of Regulatory Affairs (ORA), Office of Partnerships (OP) announced the availability of up to $12,600,000 to be awarded under limited competition to State animal feed regulatory programs. The intended outcome of this FOA is to advance efforts for a nationally integrated feed safety system through the implementation and advancement of the Animal Feed Regulatory Program Standards (AFRPS) by State feed regulatory programs. The AFRPS allows for the development of risk-based feed safety programs by establishing a uniform basis for measuring and improving the performance of State feed regulatory programs in the United States. By achieving and sustaining implementation of these programs standards, Federal and State programs can better direct their regulatory activities toward reducing foodborne illness attributed to feed safety hazards in animal feed materials/supply facilities. Consequently, the safety and security of the United States animal feed supply will improve. The AFRPS is comprised of eleven (11) standards which establish the foundation for the critical elements that serve as an objective framework to evaluate and improve components of a State feed program. These elements cover the State feed programs regulatory foundation, training, inspection program, auditing, feed-related illness or death and emergency response, enforcement program, outreach activities, budget and planning, laboratory services, sampling program, and assessment and improvement standard implementation. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) Dairy and Food Inspection Division (DFID) Commercial Feed Unit (CFU) licenses and inspects approximately 1,900 feed establishments in Minnesota. The CFU has both responsibility for both retail and manufactured feed and has a staff complement of (20) for feed related activities, with (9) devoted to field inspection. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture, as part of the application, will maintain a comprehensive strategic plan that outlines the milestones and goals needed to gain significant conformance to the AFRPS by the end of the Year 4 grant period. This application also describes the creation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and Standard Enhancement Projects (SEPs) that will serve as a resource to other agencies and jurisdictions attempting to conform to these standards. The MDA Laboratory Services Division is included in this request for funding and remains committed to working with the MDA Feed Program officials and the FDA to protect the safety of the nation's animal feed supply and to enhance public health through a nationally integrated feed safety system. The laboratory supports this goal by achieving, maintaining and expanding its ISO17025 scope of accreditation in performing microbiological and chemical analyses of feed on behalf of the State's feed regulatory program and the AFRPS. Sharing the laboratory's high-quality, valid, and defensible results promotes the early identification and regulatory response to feed adulterants, contaminants, toxins, etc. and reduces the foodborne illness attributed to feed safety hazards in animal feed material. Consequently, the safety and security of the United States animal feed supply will improve. In this cooperative agreement proposal, the MDA Laboratory establishes its ability to meet all eligibility requirements. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the laboratory is well-positioned to achieve the program objectives identified in RFA-FD-15-021 in terms of laboratory facilities and equipment, organization, personnel qualifications, operational support, management practices, feed testing capabilities, and the laboratory quality management system.

项目摘要 明尼苏达州农业部正在寻求FDA拨款机会RFA-FD-15下的资金， 021，动物饲料监管计划标准（AFRPS）的实施（U18）。食品药品 美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA），法规事务办公室（ORA），合作伙伴办公室（OP）宣布， 在有限的竞争下，向国家动物饲料监管机构提供高达12，600，000美元的资金 程序.本FOA的预期结果是推进国家综合饲料安全的努力 通过实施和推进动物饲料监管计划标准， （AFRPS）国家饲料监管计划。 AFRPS通过建立统一的基础，允许制定基于风险的饲料安全计划， 衡量和改善美国各州饲料监管计划的绩效。通过 实现和持续实施这些计划标准，联邦和州计划可以更好地 指导其监管活动，以减少动物饲料安全危害引起的食源性疾病 饲料/供应设施。因此，美国动物饲料供应的安全和保障 会改善。 AFRPS由十一（11）项标准组成，这些标准为以下关键要素奠定了基础： 作为一个客观的框架，以评估和改善国家饲料计划的组成部分。这些元素 涵盖国家饲料计划监管基础、培训、检查计划、审核、饲料相关 疾病或死亡和紧急响应、执行方案、外展活动、预算和规划， 实验室服务、抽样程序、评估和改进标准的执行。 明尼苏达州农业部（MDA）乳制品和食品检验司（DFID）商业 饲料单位（CFU）许可证和检查约1,900饲料企业在明尼苏达州。CFU有 负责零售和加工饲料，并有20名员工负责饲料相关工作 活动，（9）专门用于实地检查。 明尼苏达州农业部，作为申请的一部分，将保持全面的战略， 该计划概述了在年底前达到AFRPS的重大一致性所需的里程碑和目标。 第四年补助期。此应用程序还描述了标准操作程序（SOP）的创建 和标准增强项目（SEP），将作为其他机构和司法管辖区的资源 试图符合这些标准。 MDA实验室服务部包括在本资金申请中，并继续致力于 与MDA饲料计划官员和FDA合作，保护国家动物饲料的安全 通过全国统一的饲料安全系统来供应和提高公众健康。实验室 通过实现、维护和扩大其ISO 17025认证范围， 代表国家饲料监管计划和AFRPS对饲料进行微生物和化学分析。 分享实验室的高质量、有效和可辩护的结果有助于早期识别和 对饲料掺假物、污染物、毒素等的监管反应，并减少归因于 动物饲料中的饲料安全隐患。因此，美国的安全和保障 动物饲料供应将有所改善。 在本合作协议提案中，MDA实验室确定其满足所有资格的能力 要求.此外，我们证明，实验室是很好的定位，以实现该计划 RFA-FD-15-021中确定的实验室设施和设备、组织、人员 资质、运营支持、管理规范、饲料检测能力和实验室质量 管理系统.
