Established as a formal policy in 1986, the Coordinated Framework for Regulation of Biotechnology describes the Federal system for evaluating products developed using modern biotechnology. The Coordinated Framework is based upon health and safety laws developed to address specific product classes. The Government has written new regulations, policies and guidance to implement these laws for biotechnology as products developed. This framework has allowed the US to build upon agency experience with organisms and products developed using conventional techniques.
