Amendments are being made to implement revisions to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) as amended by the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (FDAMA). This proposed rule is a companion document to the direct final rule published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register.
