21 CFR Part 5


Delegations of Authority and Organization

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the 
regulations for delegations of authority to set forth the current 
organizational structure of the agency as well as the current addresses 
for headquarters and field offices. The agency is also redesignating 
certain sections of the regulations to allow for expansion in the 
delegation of authority section. This action is necessary to ensure the 
continued accuracy of the regulations.

EFFECTIVE DATE:  March 24, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: L'Tonya J. Barnes, Division of 
Management Systems and Policy (HFA-340), Food and Drug Administration, 
5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301-827-4807.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The regulations are being amended in subpart 
C of part 5 (21 CFR part 5) to reflect the central organization of the 
agency and to provide current addresses for headquarters and field 
offices. The regulations are also being amended by redesignating 
Secs. 5.100, 5.105, 5.110, and 5.115 as Secs. 5.200, 5.205, 5.210, and 
5.215, respectively, to permit the expansion of subpart B to allow for 
added delegations.
    Notice and comment on these amendments are not necessary under the 
Administrative Procedure Act because this is a rule of agency 
organization (5 U.S.C. 553(b)).
