SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

 I. Background

    Section 204 of the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act 
of 1997 (FDAMA) (Pub. L. 105-115) amended section 514 of the Federal 
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360d). Amended 
section 514 allows FDA to recognize consensus standards developed by 
international and national organizations for use in satisfying portions 
of device premarket review submissions or other requirements.
    In a notice published in the Federal Register of February 25, 1998 
(63 FR 9561), FDA announced the availability of a guidance entitled 
``Recognition and Use of Consensus Standards.'' The notice described 
how FDA would implement its standard recognition program and provided 
the initial list of recognized standards.
    Modifications to the initial list of recognized standards, as 
published in the Federal Register, can be accessed at http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/Standards/ucm123792.htm.
    These notices describe the addition, withdrawal, and revision of 
certain standards recognized by FDA. The Agency maintains hypertext 
markup language (HTML) and portable document format (PDF) versions of 
the list of FDA Recognized Consensus Standards. Both versions are 
publicly accessible at the Agency's Internet site. See section VI of 
this document for electronic access information. Interested persons 
should review the supplementary information sheet for the standard to 
understand fully the extent to which FDA recognizes the standard.

II. Modifications to the List of Recognized Standards, Recognition List 
Number: 043

    FDA is announcing the addition, withdrawal, correction, and 
revision of certain consensus standards the Agency will recognize for 
use in premarket submissions and other requirements for devices. FDA 
will incorporate these modifications in the list of FDA Recognized 
Consensus Standards in the Agency's searchable database. FDA will use 
the term ``Recognition List Number: 043'' to identify these current 
modifications.
    In table 1, FDA describes the following modifications: (1) The 
withdrawal of standards and their replacement by others, if applicable; 
(2) the correction of errors made by FDA in listing previously 
recognized standards; and (3) the changes to the supplementary 
information sheets of recognized standards that describe revisions to 
the applicability of the standards.
    In section III, FDA lists modifications the Agency is making that 
involve the initial addition of standards not previously recognized by 
FDA.

IV. List of Recognized Standards

    FDA maintains the Agency's current list of FDA Recognized Consensus 
Standards in a searchable database that may be accessed directly at 
FDA's Internet site at http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfStandards/search.cfm. FDA will incorporate the modifications 
and revisions described in this notice into the database and, upon 
publication in the Federal Register, this recognition of consensus 
standards will be effective. FDA will announce additional modifications 
and revisions to the list of recognized consensus standards, as needed, 
in the Federal Register once a year, or more often if necessary. 
Beginning with Recognition List 033, FDA no longer announces minor 
revisions to the list of recognized consensus standards such as 
technical contact person, devices affected, processes affected, Code of 
Federal Regulations citations, and product codes.

V. Recommendation of Standards for Recognition by FDA

    Any person may recommend consensus standards as candidates for 
recognition under section 514 of the FD&C Act by submitting such 
recommendations, with reasons for the recommendation, to 
[email protected]. To be properly considered, such recommendations 
should contain, at a minimum, the following information: (1) Title of 
the standard, (2) any reference number and date, (3) name and address 
of the national or international standards development organization, 
(4) a proposed list of devices for which a declaration of conformity to 
this standard should routinely apply, and (5) a brief identification of 
the testing or performance or other characteristics of the device(s) 
that would be addressed by a declaration of conformity.

VI. Electronic Access

    You may obtain a copy of ``Guidance on the Recognition and Use of 
Consensus Standards'' by using the Internet. The Center for Devices and 
Radiological Health (CDRH) maintains a site on the Internet for easy 
access to information including text, graphics, and files that you may 
download to a personal computer with access to the Internet. Updated on 
a regular basis, the CDRH home page, http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices, 
includes a link to standards-related documents including the guidance 
and the current list of recognized standards. After publication in the 
Federal Register, this notice announcing ``Modification to the List of 
Recognized Standards, Recognition List Number: 043'' will be available 
at http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/Standards/ucm123792.htm. You may access ``Guidance on the Recognition 
and Use of Consensus Standards,'' and the searchable database for ``FDA 
Recognized Consensus Standards'' at http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/Standards.
