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.

Notice of public workshop.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the following public workshop entitled “FDA-University of Maryland CERSI Drug Development in Pediatric Heart Failure: Extrapolation, Clinical Trial Design, and Endpoints.” The purpose of the public workshop is to address challenges related to the evaluation of products in pediatric heart failure including population to study, endpoints, and extrapolation of adult efficacy data. The workshop will also provide a forum for discussion on the use of registry data, as well as alternative trial designs and statistical methods.
The public workshop will be held on Friday, October 27, 2017, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The public workshop will be held at FDA's White Oak Campus, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 31, Rm. 1503A, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002.
