DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Food and Drug Administration
21 CFR Part 5
Delegation of Authority and Organization; Center for Veterinary
Medicine; Technical Amendment
AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the
regulation to reflect a redelegation of authority with respect to
approval of supplemental new animal drug applications to the Director,
Division of Manufacturing Technology, Office of New Animal Drug
Evaluation, Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM). This action is
necessary to ensure the continued accuracy of the regulation.
EFFECTIVE DATE: December 22, 1998.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Carol Haley, Center for Veterinary Medicine (HFV-6), Food and Drug
Administration, 7500 Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855, 301-594-1682;
Donna G. Page, Division of Management Systems and Policy (HFA-

20857, 301-827-4816.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of December 22, 1998
(63 FR 70650), FDA amended the regulation for redelegations of
authority to incorporate provisions for feed mill licensing and to
update positions and component titles associated with the authorities
under Sec. 5.83 (21 CFR 5.83). The regulation in Sec. 5.83(c)(1)
reflected a redelegation with respect to approval of certain
supplemental new animal drug applications to the position title
``Director, Division of Human Food Safety, Office of New Animal Drug
Evaluation, CVM.'' The correct position title to which these functions
should have been redelegated is the ``Director, Division of
Manufacturing Technologies, Office of New Animal Drug Evaluation,
CVM,'' because that office is responsible for supplemental applications
for manufacturing. Therefore, the redelegation to the ``Director,
Division of Human Safety Office of New Animal Drug Evaluation, CVM''
has been amended and a new redelegation made to the ``Director,
Division of Manufacturing Technologies, Office of New Animal Drug
Evaluation, CVM.'' The regulation in Sec. 5.83(c)(1) has been revised
to reflect this redelegation. Further redelegation of authorities is
not authorized at this time. Authority delegated to a position may be
exercised by a person officially designated to serve in such position
in an acting capacity or on a temporary basis.

Authority delegations (Government agencies), Imports, Organization
and functions (Government agencies).
Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and
under authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, 21 CFR
