21 CFR Part 104

[Docket No. 97N-0365]


Code of Federal Regulations; Authority Citations; Technical 
Amendment

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

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

Summary: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending its 
regulations to revise an authority citation that was inadvertently 
omitted when the agency revised the authority citations for 21 CFR 
Chapter I. This action is being taken to ensure clarity and consistency 
in the agency's regulations.

EFFECTIVE DATE:  March 10, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  LaJuana D. Caldwell, Office of Policy 
(HF-27), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 
20857, 301-443-2994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of the Federal Register, in 
accordance with the procedures of the Administrative Committee of the 
Federal Register (1 CFR 21.52), has recommended that each citation of 
authority for Chapter I of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations 
include only references to the United States Code. Therefore, in the 
Federal Register of October 1, 1997, FDA revised its authority 
citations in accordance with that recommendation. In that document, the 
agency inadvertently omitted an amendment to revise the authority 
citation for 21 CFR part 104. At this time the agency is correcting 
that error. Publication of this document constitutes final action under 
the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553). FDA has determined 
that notice and public comment are unnecessary because this amendment 
is nonsubstantive in nature.

Lists of Subjects in 21 CFR Part 104

    Therefore, under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under 
authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, 21 CFR part 
104 is amended as follows:
