21 CFR Part 111

[Docket No. FDA-2008-N-0152] (Formerly Docket No. 1996N-0417)
RIN 0910-AB88


Current Good Manufacturing Practice in Manufacturing, Packaging, 
Labeling, or Holding Operations for Dietary Supplements; Technical 
Amendment

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is correcting a final 
rule that appeared in the Federal Register of June 25, 2007 (72 FR 
34752). The final rule established current good manufacturing practice 
(CGMP) requirements in manufacturing, packaging, labeling, or holding 
operations for dietary supplements. The final rule was published with 
an inadvertent error in the codified section. This document corrects 
that error. This action is being taken to improve the accuracy of the 
agency's regulations.

DATES: This rule is effective May 14, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Vasilios H. Frankos, Center for Food 
Safety and Applied Nutrition (HFS-810), Food and Drug Administration, 
5100 Paint Branch Pkwy., College Park, MD 20740, 301-436-1696.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of June 25, 2007 (72 
FR 34752), FDA established CGMP requirements in manufacturing, 
packaging, labeling, or holding operations for dietary supplements 
(part 111 (21 CFR part 111)). In the codified section of the rule, 
Sec.  111.75(c)(3) provides that ``You must provide adequate 
documentation of your basis for determining compliance with the 
specification(s) selected under paragraph (c)(1) of this section, 
through the use of appropriate tests or examinations conducted under 
paragraph (c)(2) of this section, will ensure that your finished batch 
of the dietary supplement meets all product specifications for 
identity, purity, strength, and composition, and the limits on those 
types of contamination that may adulterate, or that may lead to the 
adulteration of, the dietary supplement'' (72 FR 34752 at 34949). Due 
to an inadvertent error, the word ``that'' was omitted between 
``determining'' and ``compliance.'' This document corrects that error.
