Medical Devices; Technical
Amendments
AGENCY:
Food and Drug Administration,
HHS.
Final rule; technical
amendments.
ACTION:
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.

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.

Final rule; technical
amendment.
ACTION:
The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA or Agency) is
amending certain medical device
regulations to accurately reflect the
devices exempted from premarket
notification (510(k)) as indicated in the
lists published on April 13, 2017, and
July 11, 2017. FDA published a final
amendment, final order in the Federal
Register of December 30, 2019 (‘‘Final
Order’’) codifying the two Federal
Register notices. The present revisions
are necessary to correct editorial errors
to ensure that the codified is consistent
with the exemptions in the Federal
Register notices. 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.

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’’

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.
