<body>
<p>This&nbsp;final rule will&nbsp;allow importation of certain prescription drugs from Canada under certain circumstances.&nbsp;States and certain other non-federal governmental entities would be able to submit importation program proposals to FDA for review and authorization. An importation program could be co-sponsored by a pharmacist, a wholesaler, or another State or non-federal governmental entity. The rule will&nbsp;contain requirements to demonstrate that an importation program will pose no additional risk to the public&rsquo;s health and safety and will be expected to result in a significant reduction in the cost of covered products to the American consumer.</p>
