Conforming Regulations Regarding Removal of Section 507 of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending its
regulations to remove references to the repealed statutory provision of
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) under which the
agency certified antibiotic drugs. FDA is also removing references to
the repealed antibiotic monograph regulations and to those regulations
dealing with antibiotic applications. The agency is taking this action
in accordance with provisions of the Food and Drug Administration
Modernization Act of 1997 (FDAMA). Elsewhere in this issue of the
Federal Register, FDA is publishing a companion proposed rule, under
FDA's usual procedures for notice and comment, to provide a procedural
framework to finalize the rule in the event the agency receives any
significant adverse comment and withdraws the direct final rule.
DATES: This rule is effective May 20, 1999. Submit written comments on
or before March 22, 1999. If no timely significant adverse comments are
received, the agency will publish a document in the Federal Register
before April 20, 1999, confirming the effective date of the direct
final rule. The agency intends to make the direct final rule effective
30 days after publication of the confirmation document in the Federal
Register. If timely significant adverse comments are received, the
agency will publish a document of significant adverse comment in the
Federal Register withdrawing this direct final rule before April 20,
1999.
ADDRESSES: Submit written comments to the Dockets Management Branch
(HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061,
Rockville, MD 20852.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On November 21, 1997, the President signed FDAMA (Pub. L. 105-115).
Section 125(b) of FDAMA repealed section 507 of the act (21 U.S.C.
357). Section 507 of the act was the statutory provision under which
the agency certified antibiotic drugs. Section 125(b) of FDAMA also
made conforming amendments to other sections of the act. With the
repeal of section 507 of the act, antibiotic drugs previously regulated
under section 507 will be subject to the provisions of section 505 of
the act (21 U.S.C. 355).
FDA has determined that it will be most efficient to make changes
in its regulations to reflect the repeal of section 507 of the act in
phases. In the first phase, FDA published in the Federal Register of
May 12, 1998 (63 FR 26066), a direct final rule removing parts 430
through 460 (21 CFR parts 430 through 460), which had provided the
procedures and standards used to certify antibiotic drugs. This direct
final rule is the second phase of rulemaking in which the agency is
making various, noncontroversial conforming amendments to the balance
of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The rule removes
citations to section 507 of the act. It removes references to the
certification of antibiotics, to the antibiotic certification
regulations, and to specific antibiotic monographs. It also removes
references to antibiotic drug applications, abbreviated antibiotic drug
applications, and supplemental drug antibiotic applications.
The agency recognizes that as it implements the transition from
regulating the premarket review and approval of antibiotic drugs under
section 507 of the act to section 505 of the act, other issues may
arise that could require additional rulemaking. These issues will be
addressed in the third phase of implementation.
II. Direct Final Rulemaking
FDA has determined that the subject of this rulemaking is suitable
for a direct final rule. The repeal of section 507 of the act
eliminates the statutory provision on which the agency relied to
certify antibiotic drugs. FDA will, therefore, remove all provisions of
Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations that were issued primarily
to carry out the agency's certification of antibiotic drugs under
former section 507 of the act. All direct references to section 507 of
the act will be removed, as well as all references to regulations that
were issued to carry out programs under section 507 and all references
to forms and applications that were unique to the regulation of
antibiotics under section 507. The actions taken should be
noncontroversial, and the agency does not anticipate receiving any
significant adverse comments on this rule.
If FDA does not receive significant adverse comment on or before
March 22, 1999, the agency will publish a document in the Federal
Register before April 20, 1999, confirming the effective date of the
direct final rule. The agency intends to make the direct final rule
effective 30 days after publication of the confirmation document in the
Federal Register. A significant adverse comment is one that explains
why the rule would be inappropriate, including challenges to the rule's
underlying premise or approach, or would be ineffective or unacceptable
without a change. A comment recommending a rule change in addition to
this rule will not be considered a significant adverse comment unless
the comment states why this rule would be ineffective without the
additional change. If timely significant adverse comments are received,
the agency will publish a document of significant adverse comment in
the Federal Register withdrawing this direct final rule before April
20, 1999.
Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, FDA is publishing
a companion proposed rule, which is identical to the direct final rule,
that provides a procedural framework within which the rule may be
finalized in the event the direct final rule is withdrawn
[[Page 397]]
because of significant adverse comment. The comment period for the
direct final rule runs concurrently with that of the companion proposed
rule. Any comments received under the companion proposed rule will be
treated as comments regarding the direct final rule. Likewise,
significant adverse comments submitted to the direct final rule will be
considered as comments to the companion proposed rule and the agency
will consider such comments in developing a final rule. FDA will not
provide additional opportunity for comment on the companion proposed
rule.
If a significant adverse comment applies to an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and that provision may be severed
from the remainder of the rule, FDA may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of a significant adverse comment.
A full description of FDA's policy on direct final rule procedures may
be found in a guidance document published in the Federal Register of
November 21, 1997 (62 FR 62466).
III. Environmental Impact
The agency has determined under 21 CFR 25.30(h) that this action is
of a class of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. Therefore, neither an
environmental assessment nor an environmental impact statement is
required.
IV. Analysis of Impacts
FDA has examined the impacts of the direct final rule under
Executive Order 12866, the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-
612), and the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4).
Executive Order 12866 directs agencies to assess all costs and benefits
of available regulatory alternatives and, when regulation is necessary,
to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits (including
potential economic, environmental, public health and safety, and other
advantages; distributive impacts; and equity). Executive Order 12866
classifies a rule as significant if it meets any one of a number of
specified conditions, including having an annual effect on the economy
of $100 million or adversely affecting in a material way a sector of
the economy, competition, or jobs, or if it raises novel legal or
policy issues. As discussed in this section of this document, the
agency believes that this final rule is consistent with the regulatory
philosophy and principles identified in the Executive Order. In
addition, the direct final rule is not a significant regulatory action
as defined by the Executive Order and so is not subject to review under
the Executive Order.
The Regulatory Flexibility Act requires that if a rule has a
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities, the
agency must analyze regulatory options to minimize the economic impact
on small entities. The agency certifies, for the reasons discussed
below, that the direct final rule will not have a significant impact on
a substantial number of small entities. Therefore, under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act, no further analysis is required.
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act requires an agency to prepare a
budgetary impact statement before issuing any rule likely to result in
a Federal mandate that may result in expenditures by State, local, and
tribal governments or the private sector of $100 million (adjusted
annually for inflation) in any 1 year. These conforming amendments will
not result in any increased expenditures by State, local, and tribal
governments or the private sector. Because this rule will not result in
an expenditure of $100 million or more on any governmental entity or
the private sector, no budgetary impact statement is required.
This rule is intended to make conforming changes to FDA's
regulations necessitated by repeal of the section 507 of the act that
had provided for the certification of antibiotic drugs. Accordingly,
the agency believes that the rule is necessary and that it is
consistent with the principles of Executive Order 12866; that it is not
a significant regulatory action under that Executive Order; that it
will not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small
entities; and that it is not likely to result in an annual expenditure
in excess of $100 million.
V. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
This direct final rule does not require information collections
and, thus, is not subject to review by the Office of Management and
Budget under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13).
VI. Request for Comments
Interested persons may, on or before March 22, 1999, submit to the
Dockets Management Branch (address above) written comments regarding
this rule. Two copies of any comments are to be submitted, except that
individuals may submit one copy. Comments are to be identified with the
docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document.
Received comments may be seen in the office above between 9 a.m. and 4
p.m., Monday through Friday.
