The proposed rule would define “mixed-type facility” to mean an establishment that
engages in both activities that are exempt from registration under section 415 of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), and activities that require the
establishment to be registered. An example of such a facility is a “farm mixed-type
facility” which is an establishment that grows and harvests crops or raises animals and
may conduct other activities within the farm definition, but also conducts activities that
require the establishment to register with FDA under section 415 of the FD&C Act.
