This from SFATA:
"It has come to SFATA’s attention that FDA has completed the drafting of its deeming regulation, and has submitted its proposal to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) at the White House. We believe that the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), the office within OMB responsible for reviewing proposed rules, is currently reviewing the deeming regulation now that the government shutdown has ended.
By law, there is no minimum period for OIRA review, but the maximum period is 90 days. If OMB approves the final draft, the proposed rule will be published in the Federal Register, and the public will be given an opportunity (likely 60 days) to submit comments, which FDA is then required to review and analyze in its final rule."
