These revisions are necessary to reflect changes to the Agency’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health’s organizational structure, including the reorganization of its offices. The revisions replace references to the obsolete offices and positions with the current information, update the physical addresses for such offices, and correct inaccurate citations. In addition, as part of this effort we made other editorial non-substantive changes to correct other addresses, references, and citations, as appropriate. The rule does not impose any new regulatory requirements on affected parties. This action is editorial in nature and is intended to improve the accuracy of the Agency’s regulations. DATES: This rule is effective April 1, 2020. SUMMARY: jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with RULES FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madhusoodana Nambiar, Office of Policy, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 66, Rm. 5519, Silver Spring, MD 20993–0002, 301– 796–5837. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:44 Apr 01, 2020 Jkt 250001 I. Background The FDA Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) has reorganized (84 FR 22854, May 20, 2019) to create an agile infrastructure that can adapt to future organizational, regulatory, and scientific needs. The goal of this change is to implement more efficient, consistent work processes across CDRH that better support and advance CDRH’s public health mission and vision. The reorganization will integrate CDRH’s premarket and postmarket program functions along product lines, allowing experts to leverage their knowledge to optimize decision making across the product life cycle. Implementation took a phased approach starting on March 18, 2019, and was completed on September 30, 2019. Historically, CDRH has been organized according to the stage of the product’s life cycle, e.g., premarket review, postmarket surveillance, and compliance, rather than by the type of product regulated. The reorganization integrates these functions by product type within the Office of Product Evaluation and Quality (OPEQ). OPEQ was formed by combining the Office of Compliance, the Office of Device Evaluation, the Office of Surveillance and Biometrics, and the Office of In Vitro Diagnostics and Radiological Health into one super office focused on a Total Product Lifecycle approach to medical device oversight. Within OPEQ, there are offices divided by product type, referred to as Offices of Health Technology (OHT), as well as crosscutting offices focusing on specific policy and programmatic needs including the Office of Regulatory Programs and the Office of Clinical Evidence and Analysis. In addition, the reorganization established the Office of Policy, which includes two teams, the Guidance, Legislation and Special Projects Team and the Regulatory Documents and Special Projects Team, with no changes in the functions for CDRH Policy. The reorganization also established the Office of Strategic Partnerships and Technology Innovation (OST), which combined the Science and Strategic Partnerships, Digital Health, Health Informatics and Innovation teams. There are no changes in functions within the different OST teams. CDRH reorganization also realigned Management Services within the Center to ensure administrative functions in CDRH are optimally aligned, structured, and deliver excellent service. The reorganization streamlined the Center’s communication functions, by combining the internal PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 18439 and external communication functions, including CDRH Executive Secretary and Speaker Liaison, into the renamed Division of Communication in the Office of Communication and Education, and created an Internal Communication Branch. The structure of the Office of Science and Engineering Laboratories remains unchanged. As part of this effort, we are also making other editorial non-substantive changes to correct other addresses, references, and citations, as appropriate. II. Description of the Technical Amendments The regulations specified in this rule have been revised to replace all references to ‘‘Office of Device Evaluation’’, ‘‘Office of Compliance’’, ‘‘Office of Surveillance and Biometrics’’ with ‘‘Office of Product Evaluation and Quality,’’ and where, appropriate, we have used the term ‘‘Office,’’ ‘‘Division,’’ ‘‘Team’’ or ‘‘Office of Health Technology’’ to reflect the responsible unit within CDRH. We have also made conforming edits, as appropriate. In addition, because of the reorganization, the physical location for many of the offices changed, and thus, we have made non-substantive amendments to ensure that the room numbers and addresses reflect the current information, and other changes as necessary to update outdated addresses, references, and citations in the regulations pertaining to medical devices. The rule does not impose any new regulatory requirements on affected parties. The amendments are editorial in nature and should not be construed as modifying any substantive standards or requirements. III. Notice and Public Comment Publication of this document constitutes final action of these changes under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553). Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) exempts ‘‘rules of agency organization, procedure, or practice’’ from proposed rulemaking (i.e., notice and comment rulemaking). 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(A). Rules are also exempt when an agency finds ‘‘good cause’’ that notice and comment rulemaking procedures would be ‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.’’ 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B). FDA has determined that this rulemaking meets the notice and comment exemption requirements in 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(A) and (B). FDA’s revisions make technical or nonsubstantive changes that pertain solely to the CDRH reorganization and office move and do not alter any substantive E:\FR\FM\02APR1.SGM 02APR1 18440 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 64 / Thursday, April 2, 2020 / Rules and Regulations standard. FDA does not believe public comment is necessary for these minor revisions. The APA allows an effective date less than 30 days after publication as ‘‘provided by the agency for good cause found and published with the rule’’ (5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3)). A delayed effective date is unnecessary in this case because the amendments do not impose any new regulatory requirements on affected parties. As a result, affected parties do not need time to prepare before the rule takes effect. Therefore, FDA finds good cause for the amendments to become effective on the date of publication of this action. List of Subjects 1.

FDA published a final amendment, final order in the Federal Register of December 30, 2019 (‘‘Final Order’’) codifying the two Federal Register notices.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background In accordance with sections 510(l)(2) and 510(m)(1)(A) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360(l)(2) and 360(m)(1)(A)), FDA issued two separate notices of final determination exempting a list of class PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 I and II devices from section 510(k) of the FD&C Act, respectively, subject to certain limitations published in the Federal Register April 13, 2017 (82 FR 17841) and July 11, 2017 (82 FR 31976). The devices included in these lists were exempt upon publication of the final determination notices in the Federal Register notices (see sections 510(l)(2)(A) and 510(m)(3) of the FD&C Act). On December 30, 2019 (84 FR 71794), FDA issued an amendment, final order, which amended the codified for the classification regulations implicated in the Federal Register notices to reflect the exemptions and limitations on exemptions in those notices. This Final Order incorrectly amended the codified for three device types such that the exemption in the current codified is inconsistent with the scope of the device exemptions described in the Federal Register notices. Specifically, for the three implicated device types, FDA indicated in the Federal Register notices that a device with a particular intended use was exempt from the premarket notification requirements in section 510(k) of the FD&C Act; however, the codified currently indicates that the entire device type is exempt from section 510(k) of the FD&C Act, which is not the case. As such, FDA is amending the codified for §§ 862.1345, 862.1775, and 866.2900 (21 CFR 862.1345, 862.1775, and 866.2900) to be consistent with the exemptions as stated in the Federal Register notices. These amendments are not substantive changes because the Federal Register notices exempted the affected devices from the section 510(k) of the FD&C Act, but are intended to correct the codified and to clarify which devices under those classification regulations are exempt from the premarket notification requirements in section 510(k) of the FD&C Act and which device types remain subject to such requirements. II. Description of the Technical Amendments The regulations specified in this rule have been revised to correct and clarify the codified language of the regulations specified in this technical amendment, specifically §§ 862.1345, 862.1775, and 866.2900, to be consistent with the exemptions as stated in the Federal Register notices. FDA is making no substantive changes to the following regulations: 1. FDA is revising § 862.1345(b) by replacing ‘‘The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9’’ E:\FR\FM\02APR1.SGM 02APR1

Medical Devices; Technical Amendments

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendments.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the Agency, or we) is 
amending its medical device regulations. These revisions are necessary 
to reflect changes to the Agency's Center for Devices and Radiological 
Health's organizational structure, including the reorganization of its 
offices. The revisions replace references to the obsolete offices and 
positions with the current information, update the physical addresses 
for such offices, and correct inaccurate citations. In addition, as 
part of this effort we made other editorial non-substantive changes to 
correct other addresses, references, and citations, as appropriate. The 
rule does not impose any new regulatory requirements on affected 
parties. This action is editorial in nature and is intended to improve 
the accuracy of the Agency's regulations.

DATES: This rule is effective April 1, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Madhusoodana Nambiar, Office of 
Policy, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, 10903 New Hampshire 
Ave., Bldg. 66, Rm. 5519, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, 301-796-5837.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    The FDA Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) has 
reorganized (84 FR 22854, May 20, 2019) to create an agile 
infrastructure that can adapt to future organizational, regulatory, and 
scientific needs. The goal of this change is to implement more 
efficient, consistent work processes across CDRH that better support 
and advance CDRH's public health mission and vision. The reorganization 
will integrate CDRH's premarket and postmarket program functions along 
product lines, allowing experts to leverage their knowledge to optimize 
decision making across the product life cycle. Implementation took a 
phased approach starting on March 18, 2019, and was completed on 
September 30, 2019.
    Historically, CDRH has been organized according to the stage of the 
product's life cycle, e.g., premarket review, postmarket surveillance, 
and compliance, rather than by the type of product regulated. The 
reorganization integrates these functions by product type within the 
Office of Product Evaluation and Quality (OPEQ). OPEQ was formed by 
combining the Office of Compliance, the Office of Device Evaluation, 
the Office of Surveillance and Biometrics, and the Office of In Vitro 
Diagnostics and Radiological Health into one super office focused on a 
Total Product Lifecycle approach to medical device oversight. Within 
OPEQ, there are offices divided by product type, referred to as Offices 
of Health Technology (OHT), as well as cross-cutting offices focusing 
on specific policy and programmatic needs including the Office of 
Regulatory Programs and the Office of Clinical Evidence and Analysis. 
In addition, the reorganization established the Office of Policy, which 
includes two teams, the Guidance, Legislation and Special Projects Team 
and the Regulatory Documents and Special Projects Team, with no changes 
in the functions for CDRH Policy. The reorganization also established 
the Office of Strategic Partnerships and Technology Innovation (OST), 
which combined the Science and Strategic Partnerships, Digital Health, 
Health Informatics and Innovation teams. There are no changes in 
functions within the different OST teams. CDRH reorganization also 
realigned Management Services within the Center to ensure 
administrative functions in CDRH are optimally aligned, structured, and 
deliver excellent service. The reorganization streamlined the Center's 
communication functions, by combining the internal and external 
communication functions, including CDRH Executive Secretary and Speaker 
Liaison, into the renamed Division of Communication in the Office of 
Communication and Education, and created an Internal Communication 
Branch. The structure of the Office of Science and Engineering 
Laboratories remains unchanged.
    As part of this effort, we are also making other editorial non-
substantive changes to correct other addresses, references, and 
citations, as appropriate.

II. Description of the Technical Amendments

    The regulations specified in this rule have been revised to replace 
all references to ``Office of Device Evaluation'', ``Office of 
Compliance'', ``Office of Surveillance and Biometrics'' with ``Office 
of Product Evaluation and Quality,'' and where, appropriate, we have 
used the term ``Office,'' ``Division,'' ``Team'' or ``Office of Health 
Technology'' to reflect the responsible unit within CDRH. We have also 
made conforming edits, as appropriate. In addition, because of the 
reorganization, the physical location for many of the offices changed, 
and thus, we have made non-substantive amendments to ensure that the 
room numbers and addresses reflect the current information, and other 
changes as necessary to update outdated addresses, references, and 
citations in the regulations pertaining to medical devices. The rule 
does not impose any new regulatory requirements on affected parties. 
The amendments are editorial in nature and should not be construed as 
modifying any substantive standards or requirements.

III. Notice and Public Comment

    Publication of this document constitutes final action of these 
changes under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553). Section 
553 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) exempts ``rules of agency 
organization, procedure, or practice'' from proposed rulemaking (i.e., 
notice and comment rulemaking). 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(A). Rules are also 
exempt when an agency finds ``good cause'' that notice and comment 
rulemaking procedures would be ``impracticable, unnecessary, or 
contrary to the public interest.'' 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B).
    FDA has determined that this rulemaking meets the notice and 
comment exemption requirements in 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(A) and (B). FDA's 
revisions make technical or non-substantive changes that pertain solely 
to the CDRH reorganization and office move and do not alter any 
substantive

[[Page 18440]]

standard. FDA does not believe public comment is necessary for these 
minor revisions.
    The APA allows an effective date less than 30 days after 
publication as ``provided by the agency for good cause found and 
published with the rule'' (5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3)). A delayed effective 
date is unnecessary in this case because the amendments do not impose 
any new regulatory requirements on affected parties. As a result, 
affected parties do not need time to prepare before the rule takes 
effect. Therefore, FDA finds good cause for the amendments to become 
effective on the date of publication of this action.
