Recently, BPPD initiated a number of enhancements designed to provide further guidance and help improve the efficiency of the regulatory process. View each of the topics to learn more. Registrants are urged to use these valuable resources to gain a better understanding of what BPPD needs to expedite the registration process, and to help ensure that submissions are complete and “right the first time.”
