Executive Summary
FDA expects to respond to CTFA's request for a two-year extension of the OTC labeling final rule implementation date by Jan. 28, the agency states in a recent letter to the trade group. FDA asks CTFA to allow it to complete the request and refrain from soliciting further meetings on the subject. The agency met with CTFA staff Jan. 4 and Jan. 11 to discuss various issues in the group's petition. "Because the primary implementation date for the rule is still more than 16 months away," FDA says, "we believe a two-week period to allow for completion of our response is reasonable." CTFA requested the extension Oct. 22 (1"The Rose Sheet" Nov. 1, 1999, p. 7)
