  <description><![CDATA[  The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending certain 
regulations as the first phase of an incremental approach to modifying 
the current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) regulations for finished 
pharmaceuticals. We are amending the regulations to modernize or 
clarify some of the CGMP requirements, as well as harmonize some of the 
CGMP requirements with those of other foreign regulators and other FDA 
regulations. These amendments are also consistent with current industry 
practice. We are taking this action as part of our continuing effort to 
revise outdated regulations without diminishing public health 
protection. We are issuing a direct final rule for this action because 
FDA expects there will be no significant adverse comments on these 
amendments. Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, we are 
publishing a companion proposed rule, under our usual noticeand
comment rulemaking procedures, to provide a procedural framework to 
finalize the rule in the event the agency receives any <script type="text/javascript">

companion proposed rule to the direct final rule, published elsewhere

  <title><![CDATA[  Current Good Manufacturing Practice; Amendment of Certain  Requirements For Finished Pharmaceuticals; Withdrawal]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2007-12-04-E7-23271</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the [[Page 68112]]<br/>
withdrawal of a proposed rule published in the Federal Register of May 
3, 1996 (61 FR 20103) (the May 1996 proposed rule). The May 1996 
proposed rule would have amended certain requirements of the current 
good manufacturing practice (CGMP) regulations for finished 
pharmaceuticals. These proposed changes would have clarified certain 
manufacturing, quality control, and documentation requirements and 
would have updated the requirements for process and methods validation. 
In light of more recent scientific and technical advances and evolving 
quality systems and risk management concepts, FDA concludes that, at 
this time, it is appropriate to withdraw the May 1996 proposed rule and 
newly evaluate the issues raised in that proposal.
