At the same time, the construction and development of the micro-media also brings copyright protection new challenges and problems. Observe and analyze the operation mode of the media, it can be found that its contents mainly include: First, the original content product.
That is, integrate and utilize various resources, production and production of content products, and use the characteristics of different media platforms and the need for secondary processing, and then spread through radio and television, PC, client, official Weibo and WeChat public account. , Becoming a media news. The second is the content product produced by the individual users. With the in-depth development of the media, more and more personal users began to intervene in content production, UGC (user production content) became new productivity in the construction of media construction.
The third is "brought to theism". The integration of "reporting, net, micro, end" in the media is increased, and the production of content in the media fusion background requires higher cost support, which leads to some media alone to meet the needs, Have to use third party content. The development of integration is difficult in which the development of information technology has caused changes in content propagation and the convergence of traditional media, but it also brings many problems and challenges for copyright protection.
First, the property is demonstrated. The content products produced under media fusion are complex and diverse, such as short video, H5, VR video, drone documentary, artificial intelligent robot interviews.
Take short video as an example, which is divided into short documentary, net red IP type, scenario, skill sharing type, creative clip, hand-sharing, wonderful pieces, etc. What are the properties of these content products? Can it constitute a work in the sense of copyright law? This requires professionals' analysis, but work attributes such as artificial intelligence and drone participate in the creation of works have controversial in theory and practice.
Second, copyright rights of copyright rights are complex. Media integration makes works in different forms, via different media, which may lead to a large number of subjects and legal relationships.
If the works of different expressions such as text, pictures, audio, videos are produced and propagated by different subjects, which requires clarity of rights, obligations, and boundaries of each subject, otherwise it may lead to complexity of copyright belonging and copyright utilization. .
In addition, the wide spread of UGC will also cause unknown copyright owners.
If the media uses UGC to process, edit, produce corresponding news, and its copyright belongs need to be further clear. Again, copyright infringement is hidden. In the media era, the copyright infringement is more concealed, uncertain due to the difficulty, easy to spread and infringement evidence. At the same time, due to the diversity of media propagation, the face-to-face rights object is not just newspapers, journals, etc., but millions of WeChat public accounts, clients, applets and other Internet vectors. Finally, copyright protection is insufficient.
With the development of the media, partial media platforms are in order to enrich the content, pursue "partism", and use others without authorization licenses.
Some traditional media have undergone copyright in content production and communication, leaving a lot of copyright hazards.
For example, when making content, use your own "stock" material, network material or other external material, but no copyright inspection and authentication of these materials, which leads to unintentional copyright infringement.
How to solve how to strengthen copyright protection in the media integration process, the author considers the following points to refer to: Improve relevant copyright legislation. In the construction and development of media, news aggregation is a typical way of operation. If the aggregated news is a news that is protected by the Copyright Law, it is necessary to identify whether such aggregation behavior constitutes information network propagation of the work. In this regard, my country's current "copyright law" has not clearly stated that there are also different judgments in practice. Therefore, legislation is required to be further clear.
In addition, the reprint of massive works in the media fusion also needs to construct a licensing mechanism for works that are suitable for the development needs of the media.
Standardize the behavior of the cultural media platform. The administration of the government should give full play to the guidance and supervision functions. On the one hand, copyright education is carried out on the integration of media platform and its content providers, and also promotes the role of the media industry association, strengthens the self-discipline of the media industry, and enhances the awareness of copyright industries. On the other hand, guide the establishment of a media resource share System or Mixing Media Copyright Alliance provides more powerful support for copyright legal utilization and copyright rights protection. In addition, the government should strengthen supervision and investigate the copyright infringement of the media platform to better maintain the legitimate interests of the copyright owners.
Enhance the ability to integrate media copyright management.
First, the media platform should strengthen the construction of the copyright talent team, enrich internal copyright talent reserves, and focus on improving the professionalism and comprehensive ability of copyright staff.
Second, build a copyright management system. Since the copyright management agency, copyright management system, copyright management process, copyright cultural culture, establishment of copyright management system covering content and resource management, copyright inspection and authentication, copyright protection and trade. Enhance copyright management capabilities and operational levels, carry out copyright inspections and authentication work, with contractual methods, clear the rights, obligations and responsibilities of all parties in the media communication, and improve copyright authorization mechanisms and interest sharing mechanisms.
At the same time, the value of copyright assets is mostly targeted, enhance copyright operating level and ability, and drive copyright assets to improve copyright assets.

Kyle Richards Debuting A Fashion Collection; Talks Having Fun With Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Castmates!
Mary McClelland
With the errrrmmm… success of Kyle By AleneToo, Kyle Richards is creating kaftans for the masses.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star recently announced that she'll be debuting her first clothing line on HSN. The Bravo Home Shopping Network kontinues.
On February 25, Kyle's first line, an eight-piece collection called "Kyle by Kyle Richards", will launch. Describing it as "relaxed glamour" aka mumus, Kyle says that it will channel the "chic, California cool vibe" that echos her own closet. <insert hysterical laughter here>
Kyle is especially excited to debut her classic one-sleeved jumpsuit! "The fabric literally feels like pajamas," Kyle gushes to Entertainment Weekly. "I always wear it at home when I'm entertaining because I don't want to be in a tight, uncomfortable dress. I can also wear it on a red carpet. In fact, I just wore it in blue on The Arsenio Hall Show. I also love the jacket with embellished sleeves. I get so many compliments on it. I have friends already asking me for that one."
Kyle says most of her inspiration for the line came from her youth and from always being surrounded by women. And she also wants to make chic mommy clothing. "I've always loved clothing," she says. "I come from a family of all women, so playing dress-up was a big part of our household," Kyle explains. "I'm glamorous, but I like being comfortable. By day, I'm running around being casual. My mom was just like that too. A lot of this is inspired by her."
Kyle isn't stopping at clothing either. "The next step probably would be handbags or sunglasses. This [could] just be the beginning," she teases.
Well in other Kyle news she's reflecting on this week's episode and is happy that it featured the ladies getting along and having fun. "Self defense class was hilarious. See? We really do have fun sometimes! Seeing Yolanda [Foster] looking pretty with a big smile on her face while she choked poor Lars made me laugh out loud," Kyle writes in her Bravo blog.
"Kim and I use to REALLY fight when we were kids! Can you imagine? Haha. Kim is small but SO strong!!! We are supposed to be learning to DEFEND ourselves, and Kim starts beating the daylights out of me," Kyle reflects. "I fought back the only way I know (since I hadn't learned YET) — and that's kicking and screaming just like when we were little. Plus, I was laughing so hard I was weak!"
Although not everyone had a blast, "Brandi [Glanville] did break her hand, and we all heard the crack. Ouch!"
"Later Lisa [Vanderpump], Brandi and I went to dinner," Kyle says. "On the car ride I handed Brandi a card that said 'I'm not a bitch, I just play one in your life.' I thought it was a funny card and appropriate for our us." I agree!
"Brandi and I have never gotten the chance to get to know each other. It has always been two steps forward, one step back. I always knew that she thought I was someone that I am not. And vice versa," Kyle explains. "I gave her the card because she had just lost Chica and some other things were going on in her life that I heard about and I felt for her."
Well, that was nice. Are we sure Kyle didn't give her the card to taunt Lisa? Nah… she would ne'er do that!

For the first time ever, join Cody, Chicken Joe and Lani in two extreme surfing adventures filled with big laughs, epic thrills and lots of family fun. In "Surf's Up" Cody enters his first pro surfing competition. In "Surf's Up 2: Wave Mania" your favorite penguins team up with the surfing dream team, The Hang Five voiced by WWE Superstars!
© 2016 Sony Pictures Animation Inc. and WWE Studios , Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Parents need to know that Surf's Up 2: Wave Mania is a sequel to Surf's Up, a popular movie from 2007. Surfing penguins Cody Maverick, Lani Aliikai, and Tank are back along with Chicken Joe, ready for a new adventure in an animated, direct-to-DVD movie that stays with the original's mockumentary format -- a documentary television crew follows the adventures of surfers from Pen Gu Island, where the waves are sweet and the competition among wave-riders is fierce. Tank is still the bully of the piece, tormenting Cody and Chicken Joe with put-downs and bragging. This time, however, there's an added element: Hang 5, a "world-renowned surfing troupe" (made up of popular wrestling performers/voices from the WWE) joins the company. The story includes plenty of thrills and spills for young fans of both surfing and action-adventure: wipe-outs, giant waves, lightning storms, a sea of lava, a high-wire act, and multiple narrow escapes. Characters are knocked out and trapped and nearly drown, but all's well that ends well for everyone. This is OK for kids who are comfortable with pretend vs. real violence.

DOJ makes no 'overt moves' to investigate…
DOJ makes no 'overt moves' to investigate claims of widespread voter fraud conspiracy
November 24, 2020, 12:01 pm CST
Image from Shutterstock.com.
Even though U.S. Attorney General William Barr has loosened restrictions on investigating voter fraud, there has been no public announcement of any investigation, according to a story by the Washington Post.
"The Justice Department has met President Trump's fantastical claims of widespread voter fraud with two weeks of skeptical silence," the Washington Post reported in a story published Saturday.
The Department of Justice is "not taking any overt moves" to investigate claims of a worldwide conspiracy to steal the election lobbed by Trump lawyers in statements outside of court, the article said.
In a few cases, the DOJ has "quietly signaled" that it is reviewing allegations submitted to the agency, but federal officials found little evidence of wrongdoing, unnamed sources told the Washington Post.
The Washington Post spoke with Richard Hasen, a professor at the University of California at Irvine School of Law, who noted that Barr had criticized mail-in voting before the election.
"If there had been anything he could have hung his hat on after the election, he would have done so," Hasen said of Barr. "The fact that no one has come forward with anything as far as we know, that's a pretty good indication this has been a pretty clean election."

A lot of people may not be aware of the large pork twist and how a dog eats one, so here is a great instructional video for just such a purpose.
The dog leading this lesson is Shine the Rottweiler. He was recruited simply because this chewing task was far too onerous in a short period to give to my dog Archie the spoodle.
That said, this small dog treat still requires substantial chewing, so much so that I had to speed the video up in the centre of it so that you could view it all in one manageable sitting.
What is a blackdog large pork twist?
Basically pork hide rolled into a cylinder. You will find that by weight and chewing time that this dog treat is much greater than most standard pigs ears. The issue for pigs ears are that they are a single relatively flat surface, making it easy for large dogs to get a purchase on them and rip them apart, Hence the reason for the creation of the pork twist.
In this video you will see Shine eating the pork twist from start to end. In the speeded up parts (times four speed) his tail is beating like a drumstick.
Throughout the eating process he rarely takes a break giving you a good indication that even with three humans standing nearby, the dog treat really keeps his focus.
This is exactly the kind of treat you want for medium to large dogs to entertain them while you are out. Not too large to spoil their meal, but long enough chewing to keep them from getting bored or quickly getting separation anxiety. Small dogs may end up chewing on this for days!
Now the only question besides how fast can I buy one for my dog should be how long does it take Shine to eat this dog treat. Well, the answer is in the video.


Every night in America tens of thousands of people go to bed hungry. According to Feeding America, 1 in 8 Americans struggles with hunger. Food insecurity exists in every county in America. Millions of people are still struggling to get by because of underemployment, stagnant wages and rising costs of living. To these Americans, food has become a luxury.
Hunters have stepped up to the plate and are doing what they can to fight this serious problem. Every year hunters donate literally tons of deer meat to food banks. This meat goes to feed people in need and make their lives easier.
There are two main organizations that hunters donate meat through, Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry (FHFH) and Hunters for the Hungry (H4H). Both of these organizations do great work. Some states have even partnered with one these organizations to help hunter who want to donate meat.
So far since their inception the organizations combined have processed and donated over 45 million servings of venison, that equates to some where around 11,250,000 lbs of meat. So far this hunting season FHFH has already received 11,500 lbs of meat and it is only October.
These two organizations are just two of many. Some are state specific and others like the two mentioned are national. What each of these organizations have in common is they desire to provide delicious, healthy meat to families in need.
If you want to get involved and donate here is what you need to do. Deer and Deer Hunting Magazine spelled out what a hunter needs to do if they want to donate a deer.
Prior to donating, field dress the deer, register it and write the registration confirmation number down. The hunter will need the registration confirmation number handy in order to fill out the hunter donation log sheet that the meat processor maintains.
• Contact one of the participating processors before dropping the deer off to verify the processor has space to accept the deer. As the season progresses, a lot of hunters want to donate deer meat, so you need to keep that in mind.
• When dropping a deer off at a processor, the hunter must complete the log sheet indicating their desire to donate the deer. The processor does the rest. The donated deer will be processed and the venison will be distributed to charitable organizations to help feed needy families.
Donating meat is a great way to show the world that hunters care. Anti-hunters try and paint us as uncaring blood thirsty killers. This is just more proof that hunter are caring stewards of the land and have built a sustainable resource that can be used to help our fellow man.

18 1But thy saints had a very great light, and they heard their voice indeed, but did not see their shape. And because they also did not suffer the same things, they glorified thee: 2And they that before had been wronged, gave thanks, because they were not hurt now: and asked this gift, that there might be a difference. 3Therefore they received a burning pillar of fire for a guide of the way which they knew not, and thou gavest them a harmless sun of a good entertainment. 4The others indeed were worthy to be deprived of light, and imprisoned in darkness, who kept thy children shut up, by whom the pure light of the law was to be given to the world. 5And whereas they thought to kill the babes of the just, one child being cast forth, and saved, to reprove them, thou tookest away a multitude of their children, and destroyedst them all together in a mighty water. 6For that night was known before by our fathers, that assuredly knowing what oaths they had trusted to, they might be of better courage. 7So thy people received the salvation of the just, and destruction of the unjust. 8For as thou didst punish the adversaries: so thou didst also encourage and glorify us. 9For the just children of good men were offering sacrifice secretly, and they unanimously ordered a law of justice: that the just should receive both good and evil alike, singing now the praises of the fathers. 10But on the other side there sounded an ill according cry of the enemies, and a lamentable mourning was heard for the children that were bewailed. 11And the servant suffered the same punishment as the master, and a common man suffered in like manner as the king. 12So all alike had innumerable dead, with one kind of death. Neither were the living sufficient to bury them; for in one moment the noblest offspring of them was destroyed. 13For whereas they would not believe any thing before by reason of the enchantments, then first upon the destruction of the firstborn, they acknowledged the people to be of God. 14For while all things were in quiet silence, and the night was in the midst of her course, 15Thy almighty word leapt down from heaven from thy royal throne, as a fierce conqueror into the midst of the land of destruction. 16With a sharp sword carrying thy unfeigned commandment, and he stood and filled all things with death, and standing on the earth reached even to heaven. 17Then suddenly visions of evil dreams troubled them, and fears unlooked for came upon them. 18And one thrown here, another there, half dead, shewed the cause of his death. 19For the visions that troubled them foreshewed these things, lest they should perish and not know why they suffered these evils. 20But the just also were afterwards touched by an assault of death, and there was a disturbance of the multitude in the wilderness: but thy wrath did not long continue. 21For a blameless man made haste to pray for the people, bringing forth the shield of his ministry, prayer, and by incense making supplication, withstood the wrath, and put an end to the calamity, shewing that he was thy servant. 22And he overcame the disturbance, not by strength of body nor with force of arms, but with a word he subdued him that punished them, alleging the oaths and covenant made with the fathers. 23For when they were now fallen down dead by heaps one upon another, he stood between and stayed the assault, and cut off the way to the living. 24For in the priestly robe which he wore, was the whole world: and in the four rows of the stones the glory of the fathers was graven, and thy majesty was written upon the diadem of his head. 25And to these the destroyer gave place, and was afraid of them: for the proof only of wrath was enough.

The selection-mutation-drift theory of synonymous codon usage.
M Bulmer
Genetics November 1, 1991 vol. 129 no. 3 897-907
Department of Statistics, Oxford University, England.
It is argued that the bias in synonymous codon usage observed in unicellular organisms is due to a balance between the forces of selection and mutation in a finite population, with greater bias in highly expressed genes reflecting stronger selection for efficiency of translation. A population genetic model is developed taking into account population size and selective differences between synonymous codons. A biochemical model is then developed to predict the magnitude of selective differences between synonymous codons in unicellular organisms in which growth rate (or possibly growth yield) can be equated with fitness. Selection can arise from differences in either the speed or the accuracy of translation. A model for the effect of speed of translation on fitness is considered in detail, a similar model for accuracy more briefly. The model is successful in predicting a difference in the degree of bias at the beginning than in the rest of the gene under some circumstances, as observed in Escherichia coli, but grossly overestimates the amount of bias expected. Possible reasons for this discrepancy are discussed.

It seems there's a new theme in town (that or for some reason my browser wasn't recognizing it until today - it's been known to happen :P ). I like some aspects of it, but what I really DON'T like is the fact that the "Form Index -> General Chat" text, right below the "Hero of Allacrost" logo, is black. On a dark red background. It's basically impossible to read.
The white text on dark red background for "FAQ", "Search", "Memberlist", etc, isn't much better.
I am Turin Turambar, Master of Doom, by Doom Mastered.
Also a general meddler at the Wesnoth forums.
Some of the text is still being worked on, but I completely agree with you.
I'll try and change it to a light beige ASAP.
Yeah man, its a WIP so sit tight.
I know the theme is the default, but can we still allow users to select subsilver?
"We want a simpler and more melodic style for music, a simple, less complicated emotional state, and dissonance again relegated to its proper place as one element of music..."
Just waiting for word from Roots on this, other than that I think it's just flipping a switch.
Sure, I don't see why we wouldn't allow users to change the theme.

FDA's Foreign Supplier rule has an especially ambitious agenda
By Cathy Siegner on May 30, 2016
Of the seven rules the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued under the 2011 Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), the one regarding Foreign Supplier Verification Programs (FSVP) is particularly ambitious. It attempts a number of things never done before with respect to the U.S. food safety system.
As FDA describes it, FSVP requires importers of food products into the U.S. which are destined for either humans or animals to take responsibility for the safety of the food they import by performing certain risk-based activities. The goal is to make sure that the imported food has been "produced in a manner that provides the same level of public health protection as that required of domestic food processors and produce farms and is not adulterated or misbranded with respect to allergen labeling."
It's hard to miss all the imported food items on grocery store shelves these days. According to FDA, the U.S. trades in food products with more than 200 countries and territories and imports food products through more than 300 U.S. ports. In addition, the agency states that food imports to the U.S. more than doubled from 2003-2013.
"This active international trade has allowed U.S. consumers to enjoy a wide variety of foods year-round, and U.S. consumers expect that all foods sold in U.S. markets will be safe for themselves and their families," FDA notes.
What does the FSVP rule require?
FDA inspectors checking a shipment of imported fish.
Importers who come under the authority of the new rule will need to conduct hazard analyses for the food they produce and also for food products supplied to them by others. Specifically, they will need to:
Anticipate known or foreseeable hazards associated with particular types of food.
Evaluate the risk posed by the food based on the hazard analysis and the supplier's record of compliance. The particular food risks, as well as the foreign supplier's performance, must be reevaluated every three years, or when new information comes to light.
Use the data to approve foreign suppliers and design appropriate methods of supplier verification. The importer is free to tailor the verification processes to the unique characteristics of a food or a supplier's situation.
Conduct corrective actions to maintain the integrity of their supply chain.
For food items entirely manufactured outside the U.S., the rule requires the importer of the finished product to make sure that appropriate safety controls are in place. If the food items are made in this country, the domestic facility must do so.
As noted by attorney Kathy Hardee in a December 2015 article for Food Safety magazine, the FSVP rule first looks to the importer, which is the U.S. owner or consignee of a food offered for import into the U.S.
"If the importer is a food manufacturer otherwise subject to the preventive controls rules, no FSVP program is necessary because the hazard is identified and managed under their preventive controls processes," Hardee wrote. "If the importer is not a U.S. manufacturer subject to the preventive controls rules and does not meet one of the other enumerated exceptions, the importer must create and implement an FSVP.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers search products coming into the U.S. as cargo.
"An FSVP requires the importer to vouch for the foreign supplier of an article of food. The foreign supplier is generally the foreign entity that manufacturers and processes the food being exported to the United States. If a foreign food passes through an intermediary packer, holder or re-labeler, the original manufacturer is still deemed to be the foreign supplier," she stated.
FDA's outreach efforts
While FDA is working on guidance for all food importers on how to comply with the FSVP rule, the agency has reached out to affected parties by previously soliciting public comments (now closed) and will be holding three public meetings next month to help ease the way.
The first meeting will be June 7 in Costa Mesa, CA, the second will be June 15 in Rutherford, NJ, and the third will be June 21 in Detroit, MI.
According to Liz Freedman, a health communications specialist with FDA, these meetings have two major goals:
"The purpose of the regional outreach public meetings is to continue the dialogue with the importer community on FSMA and elicit ideas that will help to inform the FDA and our stakeholders on how to continue to work together to endure the industry successfully complies with FSVP and other FSMA regulations."
Charles Breen plans to attend these meetings in order to better advise his clients on complying with the FSVP. The food safety consultant, who retired in 2013 as FDA's district director in Seattle, said he has been conducting assessments with food importers about the rule.
"What I hear is, 'What does FDA expect?'" he told Food Safety News. "The rule provides a lot of different ways for suppliers to verify, and it's baffling for those who do not read government documents on a regular basis."
Timelines for compliance
Common sources of confusion are the effective compliance dates for the rule and who will actually need to comply with it and to what degree.
FDA set up one entire web page to outline the effective compliance dates. It shows that the first one is May 30, 2017, for any FSVP importer whose foreign supplier is not subject to FDA's FSMA PC or produce safety rules. ("PC" refers to Current Good Manufacturing Practice and Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Food for Animals, while "produce safety rules" means Standards for the Growing, Harvesting, Packing, and Holding of Produce for Human Consumption.")
At the outside, certain "very small businesses" could have until July 27, 2020, to comply with provisions of the FSVP rule. FDA defines that category of importer the same way as in the agency's preventive controls rule, Freedman noted, or "a sales ceiling of $1 million for human food and $2.5 million for animal food."
"Modified FSVP requirements are established for very small importers and importers of food from certain small foreign suppliers. (An example of these modified requirements is that certain importers would not have to conduct hazard analyses. They must verify their foreign supplier by obtaining written assurance of compliance from the supplier.)," she stated in an email to Food Safety News.
Additionally, importers of food from certain "small foreign suppliers" are subject to modified FSVP requirements, Freedman noted. These small suppliers include:
Facilities subject to modified requirements under the preventive controls rules because they are qualified facilities,
Farms that are not covered farms under the produce safety rule because they average $25,000 or less in annual produce sales or because they meet requirements for a qualified exemption, and,
Shell egg producers with fewer than 3,000 laying hens.
"There are modified FSVP requirements for certain foods from a foreign supplier in a country whose food safety system has been recognized as comparable or determined to be the equivalent of the United States' system," she pointed out.
The only countries meeting the criteria to date are New Zealand and Canada, Breen said.
"Canada was officially recognized as having a food safety system sufficient to comply with requirements. The first was New Zealand," he said, adding, "The rumor I've heard is that Australia and then the European community are next in line."
Breen called the idea of the entire European community being recognized as equivalent "a challenge" because food safety systems in Spain or Greece may be different than, for example, those in Germany or France.
When a foreign country applies to the U.S. for food safety equivalency status, FDA uses what's called an ICAT (International Comparability Assessment Tool) to evaluate the application.
Exemptions from the FSVP rule
A federal official inspects imported zucchini.
Freedman stated that the following foods are exempt from the FSVP rule:
Fish and Fishery Products (in compliance with FDA's seafood HACCP regulations) or certain ingredients used in such products in compliance with the seafood HACCP regulations;
Juice (in compliance with FDA's juice HACCP regulations) or certain ingredients used in juice products in compliance with the juice HACCP regulations;
Food for research or evaluation;
Certain alcoholic beverages or certain ingredients used in such beverages;
Certain meat, poultry, and egg products regulated by the USDA;
Food imported for personal consumption;
Food that is transshipped [transferred from a ship or other form of transport to another form of transport];
Food that is imported for processing and export, and,
U.S. food that is exported and returned without further manufacturing/processing in a foreign country.
More information about who and what is subject to the FSVP rule can be found here.
The question of enforcement
Due to its ambitious agenda, it's assumed that the FSVP rule will require a strong enforcement presence. However, FDA has limited resources for that function, particularly overseas, and can only do so much with its current budget and staffing levels.
Asked how the agency plans to enforce the rule, Freedman responded this way:
"First, we plan to provide educational materials to industry (e.g. public meetings, webpages). After the compliance dates, the FDA will begin reviewing the records of importers to determine compliance with the FSVP regulation. If the FDA determines, based on the review, that the importer is not in compliance with the applicable FSVP requirements, the agency may pursue regulatory action (e.g., Warning Letter, placing the importer on Import Alert)."
Breen said FDA knows that the agency will need to work with staff on state, tribal and other levels to help with the enforcement piece of the puzzle. That's why FDA is contracting with states (37 at last count) to get this done, he said.
Breen also said that he expects FDA to use a "risk-based approach" to enforcing the FSVP rule, meaning that it will "focus its traditional activities to better target firms and foods that prevent the highest potential risk," as the agency puts it.
"I don't think FDA will be enforcing for some time," Breen said. "Paraphrasing from [FDA Deputy Commissioner for Foods and Veterinary Medicine] Mike Taylor, it will more be doing education before enforcement. Even though he's leaving next month, I think that FDA knows that it will need to be educating for some time." (Taylor has announced that he plans to depart FDA on June 1.)
Imported shrimp gets a close look from a FDA inspector.
According to the agency's Office of Regulatory Affairs, FDA has approximately 2,000 investigators to handle an increasing number of imports, and there is ongoing concern about how they will be able to complete the additional foreign inspections called for under the FSVP rule.
"The question of what is enough has long been an issue," Breen said. "I do know that one aspect of FSMA is that FDA has told Congress that it does not have the resources to do foreign inspections. By next year, there are supposed to be 9,000 foreign inspections. The agency has told Congress it will able to do between 1,200-1,300 of those inspections without additional resources."
Like the other six FSMA rules FDA is responsible for implementing, the Foreign Supplier Verification Programs rule is ambitious, challenging and maybe even a bit scary for those who face changing the way they do business in order to meet its requirements.
However, Breen indicated that taking a longer and more collective view of these new regulations could be the best strategy, and he had the following advice for those who will need to comply with the FSVP rule:
"Everybody who is going to be subject to this rule should not forget to breathe," he said. "FDA is going to make sure that this rule works. This is my personal opinion that the success of FSMA in general is as crucial to FDA as it is to the food industry. This has to work for both."
