[Docket Nos. 1978N-0021 and 1978N-021P]
RIN 0910-AF42


Skin Protectant Drug Products for Over-the-Counter Human Use; 
Final Monograph; Technical Amendment

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published a document in 
the Federal Register of June 4, 2003 (68 FR 33362), that established a 
final monograph with conditions under which over-the-counter (OTC) skin 
protectant drug products are generally recognized as safe and effective 
and not misbranded as part of FDA's ongoing review of OTC drug 
products. That final monograph included OTC skin protectant drug 
products for minor cuts, scrapes, burns, chapped skin and lips, poison 
ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, and insect bites. That document also 
amended the regulation that lists nonmonograph active ingredients by 
adding those OTC skin protectant ingredients that were found to be not 
generally recognized as safe and effective. However, that document had 
an incorrect ``approved as of'' date (May 7, 1991, instead of November 
10, 1993) in Sec.  310.545(a)(18)(v)(A) and (a)(18)(vi)(A) in part 310 
(21 CFR part 310) and incorrectly added paragraphs (a)(18)(ii) through 
(a)(18)(vi)(A) to Sec.  310.545(d)(1) when those paragraphs should have 
been included in Sec.  310.545(d)(11). This document corrects those 
errors.

DATES: This rule is effective August 19, 2004.
