Statement of Organization, Functions, and Delegations of 
Authority

    Part H, Chapter HF (Food and Drug Administration) of the Statement 
of Organization, Functions, and Delegations of Authority for the 
Department of Health and Human Services (35 FR 3685, February 25, 1970 
and 56 FR 29484, June 27, 1991, as amended most recently in pertinent 
parts at 55 FR 35363, August 29, 1990) is amended to reflect the 
following reorganization in the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
    The Office of Small Business, Scientific, and Trade Affairs 
(OSSTA), Office of External Affairs (OEA), is being abolished. In order 
to streamline FDA's organization structure, FDA intends to abolish a 
number of organizations in keeping with this Administration's 
reinventing government initiatives. The OSSTA is being abolished to 
reduce the number of organizations reporting to the Deputy Commissioner 
for External Affairs. The small business functions will be performed 
within the OEA.
    Under section HF-B, Organization:
    1. Delete subparagraph Office of Small Business, Scientific, and 
Trade Affairs (HFA-C), Office of External Affairs (HFAQ), in its 
entirety.
    Prior Delegations of Authority. Pending further delegations, 
directives, or orders by the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, all 
delegations of authority to positions of the affected organizations in 
effect prior to this date shall continue in effect in them or their 
successors.

    Dated: August 8, 1994.
David A. Kessler,
Commissioner of Food and Drugs.
