CHAPTER I--FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN 

                                SERVICES

 

PART 1_GENERAL ENFORCEMENT REGULATIONS--Table of Contents

 

                      Subpart A_General Provisions

 

Sec.  1.4  Authority citations.



    (a) For each part of its regulations, the Food and Drug 

Administration includes a centralized citation of all of the statutory 

provisions that provide authority for any regulation that is included in 

that part.

    (b) The agency may rely on any one or more of the authorities that 

are listed for a particular part in implementing or enforcing any 

section in that part.

    (c) All citations of authority in this chapter will list the 

applicable sections in the organic statute if the statute is the Federal 

Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the Public Health Service Act, or the Fair 

Packaging and Labeling Act. References to an act or a section thereof 

include references to amendments to that act or section. These citations 

will also list the corresponding United States Code (U.S.C.) sections. 

For example, a citation to section 701 of the Federal Food, Drug, and 

Cosmetic Act would be listed: Sec. 701 of the Federal Food, Drug, and 

Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 371).

    (d) If the organic statute is one other than those specified in 

paragraph (c) of this section, the citations of authority in this 

chapter generally will list only the applicable U.S.C. sections. For 

example, a citation to section 552 of the Administrative Procedure Act 

would be listed: 5 U.S.C. 552. The agency may, where it determines that 

such measures are in the interest of clarity and public understanding, 

list the applicable sections in the organic statute and the 

corresponding U.S.C. section in the same manner set out in paragraph (c) 

of this section. References to an act or a section thereof include 

references to amendments to that act or section.

    (e) Where there is no U.S.C. provision, the agency will include a 

citation to the U.S. Statutes at Large. Citations to the U.S. Statutes 

at Large will refer to volume and page.

    (f) The authority citations will include a citation to executive 

delegations (i.e., Executive Orders), if any, necessary to link the 

statutory authority to the agency.
