TITLE 21--FOOD AND DRUGS
CHAPTER I--FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN
SERVICES
PART 20 PUBLIC INFORMATION--Table of Contents
Subpart C Procedures and Fees
Sec. 20.43 Multitrack processing.
(a) Each Food and Drug Administration component is responsible for
determining whether to use a multitrack system to process requests for
records maintained by that component. A multitrack system provides two
or more tracks for processing requests, based on the amount of work and/
or time required for a request to be processed. The availability of
multitrack processing does not affect expedited processing in accordance
with Sec. 20.44.
(b) If multitrack processing is not adopted by a particular agency
component, that component will process all requests in a single track,
ordinarily on a first-in, first-out basis.
(c) If a multitrack processing system is established by a particular
agency component, that component may determine how many tracks to
establish and the specific criteria for assigning requests to each
track. Multiple tracks may be established for requests based on the
amount of work and/or time required for a request to be processed.
(d) Requests assigned to a given track will ordinarily be processed
on a first-in, first-out basis within that track.
(e) If a request does not qualify for the fastest processing track,
the requester may be provided an opportunity to limit the scope of the
request in order to qualify for faster processing.
