This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
Final rule; technical amendments.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the Agency's regulations to change the Division of Freedom of Information's (FOI's) name, and remove the address, telephone number, fax number, and Public Reading Room fax number and room number and replace them with FOI's address located on the Agency's Web site. This action is editorial in nature and is intended to improve the accuracy of the Agency's regulations.
This rule is effective November 14, 2014.
Sarah Kotler, Freedom of Information Staff, Food and Drug Administration, 301-796-8975, address available on the Agency's Web site at http://www.fda.gov.
FDA is making technical amendments in the Agency's regulations under 21 CFR parts 5, 10, 14, 20, 21, 314, 350, 516, and 814 as a result of a recent office move.
