The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is correcting a document entitled ``Additions and Modifications to the List of Drug Products That Have Been Withdrawn or Removed From the Market for Reasons of Safety or Effectiveness'' that appeared in the Federal Register of July 2, 2014. The document proposed amending FDA's regulations to revise the list of drug products that may not be compounded under the exemptions provided by the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act because the drug products have been withdrawn or removed from the market after the drug products or components of such drug products were found to be unsafe or not effective. The document also withdrew the previous proposed rule regarding additions to this list (see the Federal Register of January 4, 2000). The document was published with an incorrect RIN number. This document corrects the error.
