SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     of September 24, 2013 (78 FR 58786), FDA published the “Unique Device Identification System” final rule (UDI rule). The UDI rule, among other things, amended part 803 (21 CFR part 803). These amendments became effective on December 23, 2013. In the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     of February 14, 2014 (79 FR 8832), FDA published the “Medical Device Reporting: Electronic Submission Requirements” final rule (eMDR rule). The eMDR rule will become effective on August 14, 2015. The eMDR rule, among other things, revises part 803 in its entirety. As published in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                    , the eMDR rule will, upon its effective date, unintentionally remove the amendments made by the UDI rule to part 803 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 21. This document addresses the unintentional removal by amending part 803 to include the UDI requirements. When the eMDR rule goes into effect, it will require changes to the CFR citations of some provisions within part 803; consequently, some of the citations used by the UDI rule will have to be updated. The following table provides the “Original UDI Citation” (the citation used by the September 24, 2013, UDI rule) and the corresponding “Updated Citation” for provisions addressed in this document.

                         The “Original UDI Citation” is the citation within part 803, as amended by the UDI rule, which became effective on December 23, 2013.2
                         The “Updated Citation” is the citation within part 803, after the changes made by the eMDR rule go into effect on August 14, 2015, and after those changes are further amended by the correcting amendments in this document.
 We are also updating the contact information listed in §§ 803.11 and 803.33 for the Division of International and Consumer Education (DICE) (formerly the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance (DSMICA)). FDA is publishing this document as a final rule under the Administrative Procedures Act (5 U.S.C. 551, 
                    *et seq.*). FDA has determined that good cause exists to dispense with prior notice and public comment under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) and 21 CFR 10.40(e)(1) because the provisions addressed in this document have already undergone notice and public comment. Additionally, the amendments to §§ 803.11 and 803.33, to provide updated contact information, are editorial in nature and are intended to improve the accuracy of the Agency's regulations. FDA has determined under 21 CFR 25.30(i) that this final rule is of a type that does not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. Therefore, neither an environmental assessment nor an environmental impact statement is required. This final rule refers to previously approved collections of information found in FDA regulations. These collections of information are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the PRA). The revised Form FDA 3500A is approved under OMB control number 0910-0291. The collections of information in part 803 have been approved under OMB 
                    ( print page 10587)
                    control number 0910-0437. The collections of information in the UDI rule have been approved under OMB control number 0910-0720. The information collection provisions in the eMDR rule have been submitted to OMB for review as required by section 3507(d) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3507(d)). Before the effective date of the final rule, FDA will publish a notice in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     announcing OMB's decision to approve, modify, or disapprove the information collection provisions in the final rule. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
