§399j Abraham Accords Office

Summary

The Secretary of Health and Human Services, through the FDA Commissioner, must set up an Abraham Accords Office inside the FDA and name a director. No later than 2 years after February 3, 2026, the Secretary must pick a location in an Abraham Accords country, work with those governments and U.S. diplomatic and security staff to open the office there, and assign FDA employees needed to run it. Once open, the office must help regulatory partners in Abraham Accords countries strengthen and align rules for FDA‑regulated products, including good manufacturing practices and other manufacturing issues for medical products. It must also help connect FDA with interested groups in those countries, share information about U.S. regulatory paths, and gather feedback on research, development, and manufacturing. An “Abraham Accords country” means a country the State Department lists as a signatory of the Abraham Accords Declaration. Nothing in these duties requires acting against a federal national security recommendation.
