DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Food and Drug Administration

21 CFR Part 14

[Docket No. FDA-2009-N-0443]

Advisory Committee; Anti-Infective Drugs Advisory Committee

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the 
standing advisory committees' regulations to change the name of the 
Anti-Infective Drugs Advisory Committee. This action is being taken to 
change the name of this committee on the Agency's list of standing 
advisory committees.

DATES: This rule is effective April 6, 2015. The name change became 
applicable March 4, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Ortwerth, Advisory Committee 
Oversight and Management Staff, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New 
Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 32, Rm. 5129, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, FAX: 
301-847-8640, or Michael.Ortwerth@fda.hhs.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Anti-Infective Drugs Advisory Committee 
(the Committee) was established on October 7, 1980 (45 FR 79025). The 
Committee reviews and evaluates available data concerning the safety 
and effectiveness of marketed and investigational human drug products 
for use in the treatment of infectious diseases and disorders.
    The Committee name has been changed to the following: Antimicrobial 
Drugs Advisory Committee. The Agency changed the name to better reflect 
the products and issues that will be brought to the committee. The 
change became effective March 4, 2015.
    Therefore, the Agency is amending 21 CFR 14.100(c) as set forth in 
the regulatory text of this document.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) and (d) and 21 CFR 10.40(d) and (e), 
the Agency finds good cause to dispense with notice and public comment 
procedures and to proceed to an immediate effective date on this rule. 
Notice and public comment and a delayed effective date are unnecessary 
and are not in the public interest as this final rule merely removes 
the name of the Anti-Infective Drugs Advisory Committee from the list 
of standing advisory committees in 21 CFR 14.100 and replaces it with 
the Antimicrobial Drugs Advisory Committee.

List of Subjects in 21 CFR Part 14

    Administrative practice and procedure, Advisory committees, Color 
additives, Drugs, Radiation protection.

    Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under 
authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, 21 CFR part 
14 is amended as follows:
