## Abstract

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is confirming the effective date of June 2, 2006, for the direct final rule that appeared in the Federal Register of December 2, 2005 (70 FR 72197). The direct final rule removes the regulation applicable to the status of specific products; Group A streptococcus. FDA is removing the regulation because the existing requirement for Group A streptococcus organisms and derivatives is both obsolete and a perceived impediment to the development of Group A streptococcus vaccines. This document confirms the effective date of the direct final rule.
