SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of August 25, 2009

for a 44-day period ending October 8, 2009. FDA stated that the 
effective date of the direct final rule would be on December 7, 2009, 
60 days after the end of the comment period, unless any significant 
adverse comment was submitted to FDA during the comment period. FDA did 
not receive any significant adverse comments.
