The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published in the Federal Register of January 5, 1999 (64 FR 396), a direct final rule. The direct final rule amended FDA's regulations by removing references to the repealed statutory provision of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) under which the agency certified antibiotic drugs. The direct final rule also removed references to the repealed antibiotic monograph regulations and to those regulations dealing with antibiotic applications. This document confirms the effective date of the direct final rule.
