21 CFR Part 1

[Docket No. FDA-2008-N-0160] (formerly Docket No. 2002N-0276)

 
Registration of Food Facilities Under the Public Health Security 
and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002; Technical 
Amendment

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending its 
regulations to change the fax number to which food facility 
registration forms under the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism 
Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 (the Bioterrorism Act) can be 
sent. This action is editorial in nature and is intended to improve the 
accuracy of the agency's regulations.

DATES: This rule is effective March 26, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Catherine Copp, Center for Food Safety 
and Applied Nutrition (HFS-4), Food and Drug Administration, 5100 Paint 
Branch Pkwy., College Park, MD 20740, 301-436-2379.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA is amending its regulations in part 1 
(21 CFR part 1). Several sections in part 1 cite a fax number to which 
food facility registration forms under the Bioterrorism Act (Public Law 
107-188) can be sent. This rule replaces the obsolete information with 
correct information.
    The final rule contains no collection of information. Therefore, 
clearance by the Office of Management and Budget under the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 is not required.
    Publication of this document constitutes final action on these 
changes under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553). These 
amendments remove obsolete information and are not substantive. FDA 
therefore, for good cause, finds under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) and (d)(3) 
that notice and comment are unnecessary.
