SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Section 204 of the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act 
of 1997 (Pub. L. 105-115) amended section 514 of the Federal Food, 
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360d). Amended section 514 
of the FD&C Act allows FDA to recognize consensus standards developed 
by international and national organizations for use in satisfying 
portions of device premarket review submissions or other requirements.
    In the Federal Register of September 14, 2018 (83 FR 46738), FDA 
announced the availability of a guidance entitled ``Appropriate Use of 
Voluntary Consensus Standards in Premarket Submissions for Medical 
Devices.'' The guidance describes how FDA has implemented its standards 
recognition program and is available at https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/appropriate-use-voluntary-consensus-standards-premarket-submissions-medical-devices. 
Modifications to the initial list of recognized standards, as published 
in the Federal Register, can be accessed at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/standards-and-conformity-assessment-program/federal-register-documents.
    These notices describe the addition, withdrawal, and revision of 
certain standards recognized by FDA. The Agency maintains on its 
website HTML and PDF versions of the list of FDA Recognized Consensus 
Standards, available at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/standards-and-conformity-assessment-program/federal-register-documents. 
Additional information on the Agency's Standards and Conformity 
Assessment Program is available at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/standards-and-conformity-assessment-program.

II. Modifications to the List of Recognized Standards, Recognition List 
Number: 061

    FDA is announcing the addition, withdrawal, correction, and 
revision of certain consensus standards the Agency is recognizing for 
use in premarket submissions and other requirements for devices. FDA is 
incorporating these modifications to the list of FDA Recognized 
Consensus Standards in the Agency's searchable database. FDA is using 
the term ``Recognition List Number: 061'' to identify the current 
modifications.
    In table 1, FDA describes the following modifications: (1) the 
withdrawal of standards and their replacement by others, if applicable; 
(2) the correction of errors made by FDA in listing previously 
recognized standards; and (3) the changes to the

[[Page 15204]]

supplementary information sheets of recognized standards that describe 
revisions to the applicability of the standards.
    In section III, FDA lists modifications the Agency is making that 
involve new entries and consensus standards added as modifications to 
the list of recognized standards under Recognition List Number: 061.

IV. List of Recognized Standards

    FDA maintains the current list of FDA Recognized Consensus 
Standards in a searchable database that may be accessed at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfStandards/search.cfm. Such 
standards are those that FDA has recognized by notice published in the 
Federal Register or that FDA has decided to recognize but for which 
recognition is pending (because a periodic notice has not yet appeared 
in the Federal Register). FDA will announce additional modifications 
and revisions to the list of recognized consensus standards, as needed, 
in the Federal Register once a year, or more often if necessary.

V. Recommendation of Standards for Recognition by FDA

    Any person may recommend consensus standards as candidates for 
recognition under section 514 of the FD&C Act by submitting such 
recommendations, with reasons for the recommendation, to 
[email protected]. To be considered, such recommendations 
should contain, at a minimum, the information available at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/standards-and-conformity-assessment-program#process.
