FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Joyce Strong, Office of Policy and Planning (HF-27), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301-827-7010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This document amends FDA's regulations to reflect the name change of AOAC INTERNATIONAL by removing the outdated name wherever it appears and by adding the new name in its place in 21 CFR parts 2, 10, 101, 102, 106, 114, 130, 131, 133, 135, 136, 137, 139, 145, 146, 150, 155, 156, 160, 161, 163, 164, 166, 168, 169, 172, 173, 176, 177, 178, 184, 189, 211, 226, 520, and 573.

Publication of this document constitutes final action on these changes under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553). Notice and public procedure are unnecessary because FDA is merely correcting nonsubstantive errors.

Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, 21 CFR chapter I is amended as follows:

Chapter I [Nomenclature changes]

1. Parts 2, 10, 101, 102, 106, 114, 130, 131, 133, 135, 136, 137, 139, 145, 146, 150, 155, 156, 160, 161, 163, 164, 166, 168, 169, 172, 173, 176, 177, 178, 184, 189, 211, 226, 520, and 573 are amended by removing the phrase “Association of Official Analytical Chemists International” and adding in its place “AOAC INTERNATIONAL” wherever it appears.

Dated: November 1, 2005.

Jeffrey Shuren,

Assistant Commissioner for Policy.
