[Docket No. FDA-2009-N-0133]


Change of Addresses and Names; Technical Amendment

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending its 
regulations to reflect a change of address for the Center for Drug 
Evaluation and Research's (CDER's) Central Document Room in Beltsville, 
MD; the relocation of certain CDER offices to the White Oak campus in 
Silver Spring, MD; and changes of the names of certain CDER 
organizational units. This action is editorial in nature and is 
intended to ensure the accuracy and clarity of the agency's 
regulations.

DATES: This rule is effective March 26, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Wendy Aaronson, Center for Drug 
Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New 
Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 22, rm. 1128, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, 301-
796-0410.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA is amending its regulations in parts 1, 
26, 201, 203, 206, 310, 312, 314, 320, and 600 (21 CFR parts 1, 26, 
201, 203, 206, 310, 312, 314, 320, and 600) to reflect the following 
changes: (1) Names of certain CDER organizational units; (2) a change 
of address for CDER's Central Document Room in Beltsville, MD; and (3) 
the relocation of certain CDER offices to the White Oak campus in 
Silver Spring, MD. The addresses are locations to which applicants must 
submit information related to marketing applications or products 
regulated by CDER or from which the public can request information. 
Where appropriate, Internet addresses for obtaining information and 
forms are added and outdated addresses are removed.
    The technical amendments made by this document are largely related 
to paper submissions; however, FDA is committed to adapting its 
business practices to evolving technology, including using the 
significant advancements in Web-based, electronic systems. We 
anticipate that, in future rulemakings, Web-based filing of most 
submissions will eventually be required. We anticipate that when a 
change to an electronic submission system is implemented, we will 
provide guidance to address any technical questions related to such 
submissions.
    The technical amendments, reflected in the regulatory text of this 
final rule, are as follows:
    <bullet> In Sec.  1.101(d)(2)(ii), the address to submit 
notifications for products regulated by CDER exported under section 802 
of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 382) is changed

regarding falsification of drug sample records or loss or theft of 
samples for prescription drugs and biological products regulated by 
CDER is changed to the White Oak campus.
    <bullet> In Sec.  203.70(b)(1), the address to apply for a reward

from imprinting requirements for solid oral dosage form drugs is 
updated to the Beltsville Central Document Room.
    <bullet> In Sec.  310.6(e), the address for interested parties to 
submit the names of drug products, and of their manufacturers or 
distributors, that should be subject to the same purchasing and 
regulatory policies as those reviewed by the Drug Efficacy Study Group 
is changed to the White Oak campus.
    <bullet> In Sec. Sec.  310.305(c) and 314.98(b), the address to 
submit postmarketing safety reports is updated to the Beltsville 
Central Document Room. (Note that applicants and any person other than 
the applicant whose name appears on the label of an approved drug 
product as a manufacturer, packer, or distributor may also elect to 
submit postmarketing safety reports in electronic format.)
    <bullet> In Sec. Sec.  310.305(d)(4) and 314.80(f)(4), the address 
to obtain reporting forms is updated to reflect Internet availability.
    <bullet> In Sec. Sec.  310.501(e) and 310.515(d), the name and 
address to request labeling guidance for estrogen drug products are 
updated to the Division of Reproductive and Urologic Products and the 
White Oak campus.
    <bullet> In Sec.  312.140(b), mailing instructions are updated to 
ensure submissions are addressed properly.
    <bullet> In Sec. Sec.  312.145(b) and 314.445(b), the CDER unit 
from which to request a list of CDER guidances is updated to the 
Division of Drug Information. The address is updated to the White Oak 
campus, and an Internet address is added to reflect the availability of 
the list on the Internet.
    <bullet> In Sec.  314.80(d)(2) and (f)(3)(ii), the CDER unit to 
contact regarding alternative reporting formats is updated to the 
Office of Surveillance and Epidemiology.
    <bullet> In Sec.  314.81(b)(3)(i), the address to obtain Form FDA-

for Human Use) is updated to reflect Internet availability.
    <bullet> In Sec.  314.200(a)(3), the address to request opinions of 
the applicability of a notice of opportunity for a hearing published in 
the Federal Register to a specific product that may be identical, 
related, or similar to a product listed in the notice is changed to the 
White Oak campus.
    <bullet> In Sec.  314.440(a), an outdated address to submit 
applications, abbreviated applications, and related

[[Page 13112]]

correspondence is removed and in Sec.  314.440(a)(1), mailing 
instructions are updated to ensure submissions are addressed properly 
and the address to obtain folders for binding applications is updated 
to reflect information available at an Internet address.
    <bullet> In Sec.  320.30(c)(1), the name and address to submit 
general inquiries related to bioavailability requirements and

White Oak campus.
    <bullet> In Sec.  600.2(b)(1), the address for submitting 
biological product deviation reports for biological products regulated 
by CDER is changed to the White Oak campus.
    <bullet> In Sec.  600.2(b)(3), the address for submitting 
advertising and promotional labeling supplements required under Sec.  
600.12(f) is updated to the Beltsville Central Document Room.
    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 update 
names and addresses of CDER organizational units.
