State Certification of Mammography Facilities
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to implement the patient notification provisions of the Mammography Quality Standards Act of 1992 (the MQSA). This action will permit FDA to authorize individual States to certify mammography facilities, to conduct the inspection of the facilities, to enforce the MQSA quality standards, and to administer other related functions. FDA retains oversight responsibility for the activities of the States to which this authority has been delegated and mammography facilities certified by those States must continue to meet the quality standards established by FDA for mammography facilities nationwide. The document proposes procedures for application, approval, evaluation, and withdrawal of approval of States as certification agencies. It also proposes standards to be met by States receiving this authority.
