Valid: a and b.
- a — True: USP standards are recognized in law and the FDA can enforce them as part of the regulatory framework (they are part of the "official compendia" under the FD&C Act).
- b — Largely true: FDA staff often participate in and provide input to USP standards-setting activities and the agencies coordinate, but USP is an independent standards-setting organization.
Not valid: c — False: USP develops standards based on public-health needs, scientific evidence, and broad stakeholder input, not solely on the needs of the FDA.
