Investigational New Drug Applications and Abbreviated New Drug 
Applications; Technical Amendment

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending its 
investigational new drug application (IND) regulations and abbreviated 
new drug application regulations to correct inaccurate cross-references 
to the IND regulations and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 
(the FD&C Act). This action is being taken to ensure accuracy and 
clarity in the Agency's regulations.

DATES: This rule is effective March 15, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Olivia A. Pritzlaff, Center for Drug 
Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, Bldg. 51, Rm. 
6308, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, 301-796-
3506.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA is amending its regulation in 21 CFR 
312.83 to correct an inaccurate cross-reference to other sections of 
the IND regulations. FDA is amending its regulation in 21 CFR 314.94 to 
correct an inaccurate cross-reference to a section of the FD&C Act.
    Publication of this document constitutes final action on these 
changes under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553). FDA has 
determined that notice and public comment are unnecessary because this 
amendment to the regulations provides only technical changes to correct
