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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On January 31, 2020, as a result of confirmed cases of COVID-19, and after consultation with public health officials as necessary, Alex M. Azar II, Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), pursuant to the authority under section 319 of the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) (42 U.S.C. 247d), determined that a PHE exists and has existed since January 27, 2020, nationwide.[1]
On March 13, 2020, President Donald J. Trump declared that the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States constitutes a national emergency, beginning March 1, 2020.[2]
In the
Federal Register
of March 25, 2020 (85 FR 16949) (the March 25, 2020, notice) (available at:
https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2020-03-25/pdf/2020-06222.pdf), FDA announced procedures for making available FDA guidance documents related to the COVID-19 PHE. These procedures, which operate within FDA's established good guidance practices regulations, are intended to allow FDA to rapidly disseminate Agency recommendations and policies related to COVID-19 to industry, FDA staff, and other stakeholders. The March 25, 2020, notice stated that due to the need to act quickly and efficiently to respond to the COVID-19 PHE, FDA believes that prior public participation will not be feasible or appropriate before FDA implements COVID-19-related guidance documents. Therefore, FDA will issue COVID-19-related guidance documents for immediate implementation without prior public comment (see section 701(h)(1)(C) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 371(h)(1)(C) and § 10.115(g)(2)). The guidances are available on FDA's web page “COVID-19-Related Guidance Documents for Industry, FDA Staff, and Other Stakeholders” (
https://www.fda.gov/emergency-preparedness-and-response/mcm-issues/covid-19-
( print page 28012)
related-guidance-documents-industry-fda-staff-and-other-stakeholders) and through FDA's web page “Search for FDA Guidance Documents” (
https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents).
The March 25, 2020, notice further stated that, in general, rather than publishing a separate notice of availability (NOA) for each COVID-19-related guidance document, FDA intends to publish periodically a consolidated NOA announcing the availability of COVID-19-related guidance documents FDA issued during the relevant period. This notice announces certain COVID-19-related guidances that are posted on FDA's website, as included in table 1.
Lastly, the March 25, 2020, notice indicated that, in general, guidance documents would be placed in dockets established for COVID-19-related guidance documents issued by each Center. As noted in table 1, certain COVID-19-related guidance documents issued by the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) prior to March 24, 2020, were placed in Docket No. FDA-2020-D-1106. FDA anticipates that, in general, CDER will use Docket No. FDA-2020-D-1136 for additional COVID-19-related guidance documents issued pursuant to the process described in the March 25, 2020, notice.
II. Availability of COVID-19-Related Guidance Documents
