21 CFR Part 211
[Docket No. 75N-0339]
Human and Veterinary Drugs; Current Good Manufacturing,
Processing, Packaging, or Holding; Technical Amendment
AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the current
good manufacturing practice regulations for human and veterinary drug
products to correct a typographical error. This action is being taken
to ensure accuracy and clarity in the agency's regulations.
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 25, 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: FDA has discovered that an error has become
incorporated into the agency's current good manufacturing practice
regulations for human and veterinary drug products. In an amendment to
21 CFR 211.84, published on September 29, 1978 (43 FR 45014), the word
``date'' was inadvertently misspelled as ``data''. This document
corrects that error. Publication of this document constitutes final
action under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553). FDA has
[[Page 14356]]
determined that notice and public comment are unnecessary because this
amendment is nonsubstantive.
List of Subjects in 21 CFR Part 211
Drugs, Labeling, Laboratories, Packaging and containers.
Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under
authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, 21 CFR part
211 is amended as follows:
