Protecting Americans from Unsafe Drugs Act of 2022

Furthermore, the authority to issue such an order may be delegated to the Director of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research or the Director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (or an official senior to either director), whereas currently this authority may only be delegated to the Director of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research or an official senior to such director. (Both centers are located in the Food and Drug Administration within HHS.)
