The FDA has made amendments to the registration of food facilities. A final rule was issued that states new provisions have been added to the current rules, in order to codify specific provisions of FSMA that were self-implementing and effective upon enactment of FSMA. These provisions include that one must require an email address for registration, required renewal of registration every two years, and that all food facility registrations must contain an assurance that the FDA will be permitted to inspect the facility at the times and in the manner permitted by the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
From the FDA:

Those provisions include the requirement of an email address for registration, required renewal of registration every two years, and that all food facility registrations must contain an assurance that the FDA will be permitted to inspect the facility at the times and in the manner permitted by the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act."
