NMFS announces a correcting amendment to regulations implementing the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (PCGFMP). The regulations implementing Amendments 20 and 21 to the PCGFMP, which included reorganization of the entire groundfish regulations and revision of the trawl related regulations, contained inadvertent non-substantive errors that are being corrected by this action in order to assure the enforceability of the regulations and reduce potential confusion of regulated parties. Amendment 20 established a trawl rationalization program for the Pacific Coast groundfish fishery, which included an individual fishing quota (IFQ) program for the shorebased trawl fleet (including whiting and nonwhiting sectors); and cooperative (coop) programs for the at-sea (whiting only) mothership and catcher/processor trawl fleets. Amendment 21 established fixed allocations for limited entry trawl participants.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled ``Tablet Scoring: Nomenclature, Labeling, and Data for Evaluation.'' This draft guidance provides recommendations to sponsors of new drug applications (NDAs) and abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) regarding what criteria should be met to facilitate the evaluation and labeling of tablets that have been scored. (A scoring feature facilitates tablet splitting, which is the practice of breaking or cutting a higher- strength tablet into smaller portions.) Specifically, this draft guidance recommends guidelines to follow, data to provide, and criteria to meet and detail in an application to approve a scored tablet; and nomenclature and labeling for approved scored tablets. This guidance does not address specific finished-product release testing, where additional requirements may be appropriate for scored tablets.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Office of Orphan Products Development, is announcing that it has replaced non- informative code names with descriptive identifiers on its public database of products that have received orphan-drug designation. The Orphan Drug Act mandates that FDA provide notice to the public respecting the designation of a drug as an orphan-drug. FDA typically provides public notice by publishing a drug's generic or trade name upon orphan designation. Where a designated drug does not have a generic or trade name, publishing a non-informative code name does not meet the statutory disclosure requirement because the public would not be able to identify the drug that has received orphan designation.
