Consumer Comments-Public Posting and Availability of Comments Submitted to Food and Drug Administration Dockets

Краткое содержание

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is changing the Agency's long standing practice of not publically posting on http:/ /www.regulations.gov comments submitted by individuals in their individual capacity. These are generally comments from people who self- identify as an "individual consumer" under the field titled "Category (Required)" on the "Your Information" page on http:// www.regulations.gov. Changing FDA's practice to routinely post these comments, as we do other comments, will increase the transparency and public utility of FDA's public dockets. It will better enable our public dockets to function as intended: To share information and encourage an open exchange of ideas.
