AOAC Final Action OMA
•
Expert Review Panel
–
Tracks First Action OMA for maximum of 2 years
•
Considers additional method optimization
•
Consider method end user feedback
•
Consider method reproducibility information
•
Consider AOAC OMB Guidance to ERPs on First to Final Action
(OMA, Appendix G)
–
Makes recommendation to AOAC OMB for Final Action,
Repeal, or Continuance of First Action method status
–
AOAC OMB reviews ERP recommendation report
against the OMB Guidance (OMA Appendix G) and
renders a decision on the ERP recommendation(s).
