SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of September 20, 
1993 (58 FR 48794), FDA published a final rule exempting from 
publication in the Federal Register the full text of those MOU's that 
are cooperative work-sharing agreements between FDA and State or local 
government agencies. The same rule required FDA to publish 
periodically, but not less than once every 2 years, a notice listing 
all such agreements and MOU's currently in effect. The first periodic 
list was published in the Federal Register of September 20, 1993 (58 FR 
48889), and updated in the Federal Register of November 8, 1993 (58 FR 
59269). FDA is now updating the list by publishing a complete list of 
all MOU's that are cooperative work-sharing agreements currently in 
effect between FDA and State or local government agencies.
