 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:   013” (Recognition List Number:  013), 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:  013” to the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer 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:

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 would implement its standard recognition program and provided the initial list of recognized 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), June 18, 2004 (69 FR 34176), and October 4, 2004 (69 FR 59240), FDA modified its initial list of FDA recognized consensus standards. These notices describe 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 the List of Recognized Standards, Recognition List Number:  013 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:  013” 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.
