21 CFR Chapter I

[Docket No. FDA-2010-N-0148]

 
Revision of Organization and Conforming Changes to Regulations

AGENCY:  Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION:  Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing this final 
rule to amend the regulations to reflect organization change in the 
agency and to make other conforming changes. This action is editorial 
in nature and is intended to improve the accuracy of the agency's 
regulations.

DATES:  This rule is effective April 1, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Vanessa Starks, Office of Management 
Programs (HFA-410), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, 
Rockville, MD 20857, 301-827-4654; or Sharon Burgess, Division of Human 
Capital Management (HFA-410), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 
Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301-827-2065.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is issuing this final rule to amend its regulations by updating 
the organizational information in part 5 (21 CFR part 5).
    The agency has updated the references to part 5, subpart M.
    The portion of this final rule updating the organizational 
information in part 5, subpart M is a rule of agency organization, 
procedure, or practice. FDA is issuing these provisions as a final rule 
without publishing a general notice of proposed rulemaking because such 
notice is not required for rules of agency organization, procedure, or 
practice under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(A). For the conforming changes to the 
other regulations, the agency finds good cause under 5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(3)(B) to dispense with prior notice and comment, and good cause 
under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to make these conforming changes effective 
less than 30 days after publication because such notice and comment and 
delayed effective date are unnecessary and contrary to the public 
interest. These conforming changes merely update the footnotes in part 
5, subpart M. These changes do not result

[[Page 16354]]

in any substantive change in the regulations.

List of Subjects in 21 CFR Part 5

and functions (Government agencies).
