 Department of Health and Human Services Food and Drug Administration [Docket No.  2004N-0226]
 AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
 ACTION: Notice.
 SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing a publication containing modifications the agency is making to the list of standards FDA recognizes for use in premarket reviews (FDA recognized consensus standards). This publication, entitled “Modifications to the List of Recognized Standards, Recognition List Number:  011” (Recognition List Number:  011), will assist manufacturers who elect to declare conformity with consensus standards to meet certain requirements for medical devices.
 DATES: Submit written or electronic comments concerning this document at any time. See section VII of this document for the effective date of the recognition of standards announced in this document.
 ADDRESSES: Submit written requests for single copies on a 3.5′′ diskette of “Modifications to the List of Recognized Standards, Recognition List Number:  011” to the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance, Center for Devices and Radiological Health (HFZ-220), Food and Drug Administration, 1350 Piccard Dr., Rockville, MD 20850. Send two self-addressed adhesive labels to assist that office in processing your requests, or fax your request to 301-443-8818. Submit written comments concerning this document, or recommendations for additional standards for recognition, to the contact person (see 
                        **FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT**
                        ). Submit electronic comments by e-mail: 
                        *standards@cdrh.fda.gov*.  This document may also be accessed on FDA's Internet site at 
                        *http://www.fda.gov/​cdrh/​fedregin.html*.  See section VI of this document for electronic access to the searchable database for the current list of FDA recognized consensus standards, including Recognition List Number:  011 modifications and other standards related information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background Section 204 of the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (FDAMA) (Public Law 105-115) amended section 514 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 360d). Amended section 514 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 a notice published in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     of February 25, 1998 (63 FR 9561), FDA announced the availability of a guidance entitled “Recognition and Use of Consensus Standards.” The notice described how FDA will implement its standard recognition program and provided the initial list of FDA recognized consensus standards. In 
                    **Federal Register**
                     notices published on October 16, 1998 (63 FR 55617), July 12, 1999 (64 FR 37546), November 15, 2000 (65 FR 69022), May 7, 2001 (66 FR 23032), January 14, 2002 (67 FR 1774), October 2, 2002 (67 FR 61893), April 28, 2003 (68 FR 22391), March 8, 2004 (69 FR 10712), and June 18, 2004 (69 FR 34176), FDA modified its initial list of FDA recognized consensus standards. These notices described the addition, withdrawal, and revision of certain standards recognized by FDA. The agency maintains “hypertext markup language” (HTML) and “portable document format” (PDF) versions of the list of FDA recognized consensus standards.  Both versions are publicly accessible at the agency's Internet site. See section VI of this document for electronic access information. Interested persons should review the supplementary information sheet for the standard to understand fully the extent to which FDA recognizes the standard. II. Modifications to Recognition List Number:  011 FDA is announcing the addition, withdrawal, correction, and revision of certain consensus standards the agency will recognize for use in satisfying premarket reviews and other requirements for devices. FDA will incorporate these modifications in the list of FDA recognized consensus standards in the agency's searchable database. FDA will use the term “Recognition List Number:  011” to identify these current modifications. In table 1 of this document, FDA describes the following modifications:  (1) The withdrawal of standards and their replacement by others, (2) the correction of errors made by FDA in listing previously recognized standards, and (3) the changes to the supplementary information sheets of recognized standards that describe revisions to the applicability of the standards. In section III of this document, FDA lists modifications the agency is making that involve the initial addition of standards not previously recognized by FDA. **Table 1.**

 IV. List of Recognized Standards FDA maintains the agency's current list of FDA recognized consensus standards in a searchable database that may be accessed directly at FDA's Internet site at 
                    *http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/​scripts/​cdrh/​cfdocs/​cfStandards/​search.cfm*. FDA will incorporate the modifications and minor revisions described in this document into the database and, upon publication in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                    , this recognition of consensus standards will be effective. FDA will announce additional modifications and minor 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 the new provision of section 514 of the act by submitting such recommendations, with reasons for the recommendation, to the contact person (see 
                    **FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT**
                    ). To be properly considered, such recommendations should contain, at a minimum, the following information:  (1) Title of the standard, (2) any reference number and date, (3) name and address of the national or international standards development organization, (4) a proposed list of devices for which a declaration of conformity to this standard should routinely apply, and (5) a brief identification of the testing or performance or other characteristics of the device(s) that would be addressed by a declaration of conformity. VI. Electronic Access In order to receive “Guidance on the Recognition and Use of Consensus Standards” via your fax machine, call the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) Facts-On-Demand system at 800-899-0381 or 301-827-0111 from a touch-tone telephone. Press 1 to enter the system. At the second voice prompt press 1 to order a document. Enter the document number 321 followed by the pound sign. Follow the remaining voice prompts to complete your request. You may also obtain a copy of “Guidance on the Recognition and Use of Consensus Standards” by using the Internet. CDRH maintains a site on the Internet for easy access to information including text, graphics, and files that you may download to a personal computer with access to the Internet. Updated on a regular basis, the CDRH home page includes the guidance as well as the current list of recognized standards and other standards related documents. After publication in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                    , this document announcing “Modifications to the List of Recognized Standards, Recognition List Number:  011,” will be available on the CDRH home page. You may access the CDRH home page at 
                    *http://www.fda.gov/​cdrh*. You may access “Guidance on the Recognition and Use of Consensus Standards,” and the searchable database for FDA recognized consensus standards, through the hyperlink at 
                    *http://www.fda.gov/​cdrh/​stdsprog.html*. This 
                    **Federal Register**
                     document on modifications in FDA's recognition of consensus standards is available at
