ACTION: Direct final rule; withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published in the 
Federal Register of April 1, 2010, a direct final rule that was 
intended to make noncontroversial amendments to existing regulations 
which would require the submission of readily available pediatric 
medical device information as a part of premarket approval 
applications, requests for humanitarian use device exemptions, and any 
product development protocols. The comment period closed on June 15, 
2010. FDA is withdrawing the direct final rule because the agency 
received significant adverse comment.

DATES: The direct final rule published at 75 FR 16347, April 1, 2010, 
is withdrawn on July 19, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Gatling, Center for Devices and 
Radiological Health, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire 
Ave., Bldg. 66, rm. 1640, Silver Spring, MD 20993, 301-796-6560.
    Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and 
under authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, the 
direct final rule published on April 1, 2010, at 75 FR 16347 is 
withdrawn.
