               Office of the General Counsel




               B-275070



               October 24, 1996

               The Honorable Nancy Landon Kassebaum
               Chairman
               The Honorable Edward M. Kennedy
               Ranking Minority Member
               Committee on Labor and Human Resources
               United States Senate

               The Honorable Thomas J. Bliley, Jr.
               Chairman
               The Honorable John D. Dingell
               Ranking Minority Member
               Committee on Commerce
               House of Representatives

               Subject: Department of Health and Human Services, Food and Drug
                         Administration: Medical Devices; Current Good Manufacturing Practice
                         (CGMP) Final Rule; Quality System Regulation

                Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on
                a major rule promulgated by Department of Health and Human Services, Food and
                Drug Administration, entitled Medical Devices; Current Good Manufacturing
                Practice (CGMP) Final Rule; Quality System Regulation (RIN: 0910-AA09). We
                received the rule on October, 11, 1996. It was published in the Federal Register as
                a final rule on October 7, 1996. 61 Fed. Reg. 52601.

                The final rule revises existing current good manufacturing practice requirements for
                medical devices and incorporates them into a quality system regulation. The quality
                system regulation includes requirements related to the methods used in, and the
                facilities and controls used for, designing, manufacturing, packaging, labeling,
                storing, installing and servicing of medical devices intended for human use. The
                rule adds preproduction design controls and is intended to achieve consistency with
                quality system requirements worldwide.
