21 U.S.C. § 356l — Advanced manufacturing technologies designation program
Federal law — U.S. Code and appendices · legal_authorities
**(a) In general** Not later than 1 year after December 29, 2022, the Secretary shall initiate a program under which persons may request designation of an advanced manufacturing technology as described in subsection (b).
**(b) Designation process** The Secretary shall establish a process for the designation under this section of methods of manufacturing drugs, including biological products, and active pharmaceutical ingredients of such drugs, as advanced manufacturing technologies. A method of manufacturing, or a combination of manufacturing methods, is eligible for designation as an advanced manufacturing technology if such method or combination of methods incorporates a novel technology, or uses an established technique or technology in a novel way, that will substantially improve the manufacturing process for a drug while maintaining equivalent, or providing superior, drug quality, including by—
(1) reducing development time for a drug using the designated manufacturing method; or
(2) increasing or maintaining the supply of—
(A) a drug that is life-supporting, life-sustaining, or of critical importance to providing health care; or
(B) a drug that is on the drug shortage list under [section 356e of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title21-section356e&num=0&edition=prelim).
**(c) Evaluation and designation of an advanced manufacturing technology**
(1) **Submission** — A person who requests designation of a method of manufacturing as an advanced manufacturing technology under this section shall submit to the Secretary data or information demonstrating that the method of manufacturing meets the criteria described in subsection (b) in a particular context of use.
