“Section 744N of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 379j-73) shall cease to be effective January 31, 2031.”
The reporting duty outlasts the fees by four months, so that a final report can cover the last year in which fees were collected.
What the document actually says
“Section 744N of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 379j-73) shall cease to be effective January 31, 2031.”
That sentence, in plain words
The part that calls for reports stops working on January 31, 2031.
What this is about
Reports come after the year they cover. So this rule lasts a few months longer than the fee rules.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
