Current Good Manufacturing Practice in Manufacturing, Packaging, Labeling, or Holding Operations for Dietary Supplements; Technical Amendment
AGENCY:
Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
ACTION:
Final rule; technical amendment.
SUMMARY:
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is correcting a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register of June 25, 2007 (72 FR 34752). The final rule established current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) requirements in manufacturing, packaging, labeling, or holding operations for dietary supplements. The final rule was published with an inadvertent error in the codified section. This document corrects that error. This action is being taken to improve the accuracy of the agency's regulations.
DATES:
This rule is effective May 14, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
In the Federal Register of June 25, 2007 (72 FR 34752), FDA established CGMP requirements in manufacturing, packaging, labeling, or holding operations for dietary supplements (part 111 (21 CFR part 111)). In the codified section of the rule, § 111.75(c)(3) provides that "You must provide adequate documentation of your basis for determining compliance with the specification(s) selected under paragraph (c)(1) of this section, through the use of appropriate tests or examinations conducted under paragraph (c)(2) of this section, will ensure that your finished batch of the dietary supplement meets all product specifications for identity, purity, strength, and composition, and the limits on those types of contamination that may adulterate, or that may lead to the adulteration of, the dietary supplement" (72 FR 34752 at 34949). Due to an inadvertent error, the word "that" was omitted between "determining" and "compliance." This document corrects that error.
