Yes. Under 21 CFR 1.234(a), the owner, operator, or agent in charge of a facility may authorize
an individual to update a facility’s registration. The authorized individual may be, but is not
required to be, the U.S. agent for the facility. For updates not submitted by the owner, operator,
or agent in charge, the update must include the email address of the individual who authorized
the update, unless FDA has granted a waiver under 21 CFR 1.235 (21 CFR 1.234(a)). FDA
will verify that the individual identified as having authorized submission of the update in fact
authorized the submission on behalf of the facility and will not confirm the registration update
until that individual confirms that he or she authorized the update (21 CFR 1.234(c)(3); 21 CFR
1.234(d)(6)).
