USP is "United States Pharmacopeia". FCC is probably "food chemicals codex".
They both mean that the chemical in question conforms to the purity standards of the document specified. What that means PRECISELY you'd have to look up in said document, but in both cases it means roughly "this compound is pure enough to use in making drugs (USP) or foods (FCC)."
On the purity scale, USP/FCC is usually somewhat less than spectroscopy grade, but better than lab grade or reagent grade.

Is Magnesium stearate NF tha same as magnesium stearate FCC?
The short answer is 'yes'. Here's the longer answer:The NF (National Formulary) is a compendium of monographs and standards for excipients used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements. The FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) lists standards for ingredients used in food processing. Many ingredients are used both in foods and in pharmaceuticals/supplements, so the standards tend to be identical (or virtually identical). The same standards tend to apply around the world, so it is not unusual to see magnesium stearate labeled as Magnesium Stearate EP/BP/JP/USP/NF/FCC, meaning that it meets the standards of the European, British, Japanese and US pharmacopeias as well as the NF and FCC.
