SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the

Evaluation of Analgesic Drugs,'' which was issued on December 1, 1992. 
The guidance is outdated and no longer reflects FDA's current thinking 
on development of analgesic drugs. FDA is revising the guidance and 
will issue a draft for public comment in the future.

DATES: Comments on agency guidances are welcome at any time.
