SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In 1990, FDA began a process of periodically conducting 
comprehensive reviews of its regulation process, including reviewing 
the backlog of notices of proposed rulemakings that were never 
finalized. As FDA removed many proposed rules that had not been 
finalized, the Agency was able to clean out the backlog and implement a 
process of reviewing these proposed rules every 5 years. In the Federal 
Register of December 12, 2008 (73 FR 75625), FDA withdrew four proposed 
rules that were more than 5 years old that it did not intend to 
finalize.
    Recently, FDA has conducted a review of proposed rules that are 
more than 5 years old, and is announcing the withdrawal the following 
two proposed rules:
