FDA Modernization Act 3.0 requires the FDA to replace animal testing references with nonclinical testing in regulations.

FDA Modernization Act 3.0 mandates the Secretary of Health and Human Services to publish an interim final rule within one year of enactment. This rule will replace references to animal tests with nonclinical tests in specific sections of the Code of Federal Regulations. The interim final rule will become effective immediately without requiring a demonstration of good cause. The definition of "nonclinical test" will be added to relevant sections of the Code of Federal Regulations.
