[Docket No. 2007N-0264]

Components, and Source Plasma; Companion Document to Direct Final Rule;

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration is correcting a proposed rule 
that appeared in the Federal Register of August 16, 2007 (72 FR 45993). 
That document proposed to amend the biologics regulations by removing, 
revising, or updating specific regulations applicable to blood, blood 
components, and Source Plasma to be more consistent with current 
practices in the blood industry and to remove unnecessary or outdated 
requirements. The proposal published as a companion document to the 
direct final rule that published in the same issue of the Federal 
Register (August 16, 2007, 72 FR 45883). Both documents published with 
a typographical error in the codified section. This document corrects
