Food and Drug Administration
Establishment of Medical Device User Fee Rates for Fiscal Year
2003 and Interim Procedures; Correction
AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Notice; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is correcting a notice
that appeared in the Federal Register of November 21, 2002 (67 FR
70228). The document announced the rates and interim procedures for
medical device user fees for fiscal year (FY) 2003. The document was
inadvertently published with confusing language regarding the fee that
must be paid by a small business that submits a 510(k) premarket
notification for FDA review during FY 2003. The document intended to
state that all 510(k)s submitted for FDA review during FY 2003 are
subject to a standard fee of $2,187, and that all submitters who are
subject to a fee, including a small business, are required to pay this
fee. This document corrects that error.
