§399j Abraham Accords Office

Summary

The Secretary of Health and Human Services, through the FDA Commissioner, must create an Abraham Accords Office inside the Food and Drug Administration and put a director in charge. Not later than 2 years after February 3, 2026, the Secretary must pick a location for that office in an Abraham Accords country, set it up, and assign FDA staff to work there. The choice must be made with the governments of Abraham Accords countries and relevant U.S. diplomats and security officials. Once open, the office must give technical help to regulators in those countries to improve and align rules for FDA-regulated products (including good manufacturing practices for medical products). It must also help the FDA interact with interested parties in those countries, share information about U.S. regulatory pathways, and get feedback on research, development, and manufacturing. The Secretary can assign other needed duties. Abraham Accords country means a country the State Department says signed the Abraham Accords Declaration. Nothing requires action that would conflict with a federal national security recommendation.
