redelegations of authority from the Commissioner of Food and Drugs by
making revisions to the regulations on initial emergency permit orders
and notices of confirmation of effective date of final regulations on

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 4, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA is amending the regulations in Sec. 5.62
Issuance of initial emergency permit orders and notices of confirmation

Director and Deputy Director, CVM authority to issue initial emergency
permit orders under Sec. 508.5 (21 CFR 508.5) and to confirm the

officially designated to serve in such position in an acting capacity
or on a temporary basis.
