In the context of [[Food and Drug Administration]] regulation, monographs represent published standards by which the use of one or more substances is automatically authorized. For example, the following is an excerpt from the ''[[Federal Register]]'': "The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing a final rule in the form of a final monograph establishing conditions under which [[over-the-counter]] (OTC) sunscreen drug products are [[generally recognized as safe and effective]] and not misbranded as part of FDA's ongoing review of OTC drug products."<ref>{{citation|url=https://www.fda.gov/OHRMS/DOCKETS/98fr/052199b.txt|work=Federal Register|date=May 21, 1999|volume=64|number=98|series=Rules and Regulations|pages=27666–27693|title=DOCID:fr21my99-6|format=TXT|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170201005705/http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/98fr/052199b.txt|archive-date=2017-02-01}}</ref> Such usage has given rise to the use of the word monograph as a verb, as in "this substance has been monographed by the FDA".
