Background In the Federal Register of February 27, 1997 (62 FR 8961), FDA published a notice announcing its “Good Guidance Practices” (GGP's), which set forth our policies and procedures for developing, issuing, and using guidance documents. We adopted the GGP's to ensure public involvement in the development of guidance documents and to enhance public understanding of the availability, nature, and legal effect of our guidance documents. As part of FDA's effort to ensure meaningful interaction with the public regarding guidance documents, we committed to publishing an annual comprehensive list of guidance documents and quarterly Federal Register notices that list all guidance documents that were issued and withdrawn during that quarter, including “Level 2” guidance documents. The following list of guidance documents represents all guidances that we issued or withdrew since we published the last quarterly list on March 14, 2000 (65 FR 13771). The guidance documents are organized by the issuing center or office within FDA, and are further grouped by the intended users or relevant regulatory activities. Dates provided in the following list refer to the date the guidance was issued or, where applicable, the last date the document was revised. We provided document numbers where available. II.
