  • Title: Amended economic impact analysis of final rule requiring use of labeling on natural rubber containing devices--FDA. Final rule; amended economic analysis statement.
    Journal: Fed Regist; 1998 Aug 31; 63(168):46171-4. PubMed ID: 10182698.
    Abstract:
    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing an amended economic analysis statement relating to a final rule that published in the Federal Register of September 30, 1997 (62 FR 51021), requiring labeling statements concerning the presence of natural rubber latex in medical devices. This rule was issued in response to numerous reports of severe allergic reactions and deaths related to a wide range of medical devices containing natural rubber. The final rule becomes effective on September 30, 1998. In order to allow further comment on the economic impact of the September 30, 1997, final rule, FDA published in the Federal Register of June 1, 1998, an amended economic impact statement, including an amended initial regulatory flexibility analysis (IRFA) that it prepared under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), as amended by the small Business Regulatory Enforcement and Fairness Act (SBREFA). After considering comments submitted in response to the June 1, 1998, amended economic analysis statement, FDA is issuing the amended final economic impact statement, including an amended final regulatory flexibility analysis.
