Withdrawal of Certain Proposed Rules and Other Proposed Actions; Notice of Intent

Résumé

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing its intent to withdraw certain advance notice of proposed rulemakings (ANPRMs), proposed rules, and other proposed actions that published in the Federal Register more than 5 years ago. These proposals rules are no longer considered viable candidates for final action at this time. FDA is taking this action to reduce its regulatory backlog and focus its resources on current public health issues. The FDA's actions are part of an overall regulatory reform strategy initiated by HHS Secretary Tommy G. Thompson.
