Title: Blood Initiative 
Abstract: In multiple rulemakings, the Food and Drug Administration is amending the biologics regulations by removing, revising, or updating specific regulations applicable to blood, blood components, Source Plasma, and blood-derivative products to be more consistent with current practices and to remove unnecessary or outdated requirements. This action is based on FDA's comprehensive review of the biologics regulations. It is also based on reports by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Government Reform and Oversight's, Subcommittee on House Resources and Intergovernmental Relations, the General Accounting Office, and the Institute of Medicine, as well as on public comments. The remaining subjects intended to be addressed in the rulemakings include: labeling, and donor suitability and testing. These actions are intended to help ensure the continued safety of the Nation's blood supply.
