Title: Blood Initiative--Requirements for Human Blood and Blood Components Intended for Transfusion or for Further Manufacturing Use 
Abstract: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend the biologics regulations, particularly those related to blood donor eligibility, by removing, revising, or updating specific regulations applicable to blood, blood components, source plasma, and source leukocytes to be more consistent with current practices and to remove unnecessary or outdated requirements.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 Subcommittee on House Resources and Intergovernmental Relations, the General Accounting Office, and the Institute of Medicine, and on public comments. These actions are intended to help ensure the continued safety of the Nation's blood supply.
