04-7398. Removal of Delegations of Authority and Conforming Changes to Regulations  

  • Start Preamble

    Agency:

    Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

    ACTION:

    Final rule.

    SUMMARY:

    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing this final rule to amend the regulations by removing the delegations of authority, to update the regulations to reflect the agency's organization, and to make other conforming changes. Because FDA makes information on delegations of authority available on FDA's Internet Web site, the regulations on delegations of authority are no longer necessary. The availability of the information on delegations of authority through the agency's Web site provides the public with more current and up-to-date information.

    DATES:

    This rule is effective April 2, 2004.

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    I. Background

    FDA is issuing this final rule to amend its regulations by removing the delegations of authority previously published in part 5 (21 CFR part 5) and to update the organizational information in part 5. The delegation of authority information is now available on the Internet at http://www.fda.gov/​smg/​default.htm. Attached to this final rule is an appendix that cross-references the previously used CFR citations to the Internet-based system. The agency last updated part 5 in a final rule published on June 8, 2001 (66 FR 30992). In the preamble of that final rule, FDA stated its plan to move to an Internet-based system and remove the delegations of authority from part 5. The use of an Internet-based system allows FDA to provide more current and up-to-date information to the public on delegations of authority.

    The agency has also made conforming changes to several other parts to remove the references to the delegations of authority in part 5 and to make other conforming changes. The agency has made these changes to the following regulations: 21 CFR 7.45(a), 10.1(a), 10.3(a), 16.26(a), 16.40, 25.5(b)(5), 25.40(e), 25.45(a), 500.80(a), and 1002.3. Additionally, the agency has updated the references to part 5, subpart M in the following regulations: 21 CFR 21.43(a)(2), 106.120(b), 107.50(e)(2), 107.230(e), 107.240(b) and (c)(1), 107.250, 203.11(a), and 800.55(g)(4).

    The portion of this final rule removing the part 5 delegations of authority and updating the organizational information in part 5, subpart M is a rule of agency organization, procedure, or practice. FDA is issuing these provisions as a Start Printed Page 17286final rule without publishing a general notice of proposed rulemaking because such notice is not required for rules of agency organization, procedure, or practice under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(A). For the conforming changes to the other regulations, the agency finds good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) to dispense with prior notice and comment, and good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to make these conforming changes effective less than 30 days after publication because such notice and comment and delayed effective date are unnecessary and contrary to the public interest. As discussed previously, these conforming changes merely remove references to part 5, update the references to part 5, subpart M, and make other minor conforming changes. These changes do not result in any substantive change to the regulations.

    II. Analysis of Impacts

    FDA has examined the impacts of the final rule under Executive Order 12866 and the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), and the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Public Law 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). The agency believes that this final rule is consistent with the principles identified in the Executive order. In addition, the 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 agencies to analyze regulatory options that would minimize any significant impact of a rule on small entities. Because this rule simply removes the part 5 delegations of authority, updates the organizational information, and makes conforming changes to other regulations, it does not impose any additional costs on industry. Consequently, the agency certifies that the final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Therefore, under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, no further analysis is required.

    Section 202(a) of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 requires that agencies prepare a written statement of anticipated costs and benefits before proposing any rule that may result in an expenditure year by State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100 million or more in any one year (adjusted annually for inflation). The current threshold after adjustment for inflation is $112.3 million. As stated previously, this final rule does not impose any additional costs on industry. Therefore, this final rule will not result in any 1-year expenditure that would meet or exceed this amount.

    III. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This final rule contains no collections of information. Therefore, clearance by the Office of Management and Budget under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 is not required.

    IV. Environmental Impact

    FDA has determined under 21 CFR 25.30(h) that this action is of a type that does not individually or cumulatively have significant effect on the human environment. Therefore, neither an environmental assessment nor an environmental impact statement is required.

    V. Federalism

    FDA has analyzed this final rule in accordance with the principles set forth in Executive Order 13132. FDA has determined that the rule does not contain policies that have substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship between the National Government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. Accordingly the agency has concluded that the rule does not contain policies that have federalism implications as defined in the Executive order and, consequently, a federalism summary impact statement is not required.

The statute prohibits the use in food-producing animals of any compound found to induce cancer when ingested by people or animals unless it can be determined by methods of examination prescribed or approved by the Secretary (a function delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs) that no residue of that compound will be found in the food produced from those animals under conditions of use reasonably certain to be followed in practice. This subpart identifies the steps a sponsor of a compound shall follow to secure the approval of the compound. FDA guidance documents contain the procedures and protocols FDA recommends for the implementation of this subpart.
