I. Background

    In the Federal Register of November 18, 2022 (87 FR 69278), FDA 
published a notice with a 60-day comment period to request comment on 
the guidances for industry entitled, ``Product-Specific Guidances; 
Draft and Revised Draft Guidances for Industry.'' The Agency has 
received a request for a 60-day extension of the comment period for the 
notice. FDA has considered the request and is reopening the comment 
period for the notice until April 18, 2023. The Agency believes that an 
additional 60 days will allow adequate time for interested persons to 
submit comments.
