SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of February 16, 1994 
(59 FR 7636) (effective date corrected in the Federal Register of 
February 22, 1994 (59 FR 8507)), FDA amended 21 CFR 74.1101 and 74.2101

    FDA gave interested persons until March 18, 1994, to file written 
objections or requests for a hearing. The agency received no objections 
or requests for a hearing on the final rule. Therefore, FDA has 
concluded that the final rule published in the Federal Register of

1994.
