a Thyroid Blocking Agent in Radiation

Emergencies; Availability; Extension

of Comment Period

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration,

HHS.

ACTION: Notice; extension of comment

period.

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug

Administration (FDA) is extending to

April 30, 2001, the comment period for

the draft guidance entitled ‘‘Potassium

Iodide as a Thyroid Blocking Agent in

Radiation Emergencies’’ that appeared

in the Federal Register of January 4,

2001 (66 FR 801). FDA is taking this

action in response to a request for an

extension.

DATES: Submit written comments on the

draft guidance by April 30, 2001.

General comments on agency guidance

documents are welcome at any time.

ADDRESSES: Copies of this draft

guidance are available on the Internet at

http://www.fda.gov/cder/guidance/

index.htm. Submit written requests for

single copies of the draft guidance to the

Drug Information Branch (HFD–210),

Center for Drug Evaluation and

Research, Food and Drug

Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane,

Rockville, MD 20857. Send one selfaddressed adhesive label to assist the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the

Federal Register of January 4, 2001 (66

FR 801), FDA published a notice

announcing the availability of a draft

guidance document entitled ‘‘Potassium

Iodide as a Thyroid Blocking Agent in

Radiation Emergencies.’’ This draft

guidance updates the notice of

availability entitled ‘‘Potassium Iodide

as a Thyroid-Blocking Agent In a

Radiation Emergency: Final

Recommendations On Use,’’ published

in the Federal Register of June 29, 1982

(47 FR 28158). In this draft guidance,

FDA maintains its position that

potassium iodide is a safe and effective

means by which to prevent radioiodine

uptake by the thyroid gland, under

certain specified conditions of use, and

thus to lessen the risk of thyroid cancer

in the event of a radiation emergency.

FDA received an e-mail request, dated

January 4, 2001, requesting that the

agency extend the comment period on

the draft guidance by 60 days, allowing

90 days for comments. Because the draft

guidance introduces several new

recommendations, the agency has

decided to extend the comment period

on the draft guidance to April 30, 2001,

to allow the public more time to review

and comment on its contents.

Interested persons may submit to the

Dockets Management Branch (address

above) written comments on the draft

guidance document by April 30, 2001.

Two copies of any comments are to be

submitted, except that individuals may

submit one copy. Comments should be

identified with the docket number

found in brackets in the heading of this

document. The draft guidance

document and received comments may

be seen in the Dockets Management

Branch between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.,

Monday through Friday.

Dated: February 2, 2001.

Ann M. Witt,

Acting Associate Commissioner for Policy.
