**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

FDA is amending our regulations in 21 CFR part 860 that set forth procedures for mailing reclassification petitions (§ 860.123 (21 CFR 860.123)) to revise the mailing address for CDRH. The current mailing address in the regulation for CDRH is as follows: Center for Devices and Radiological Health, Regulations Staff, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 66, Rm. 4438, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002. The room number, 4438, has been changed; the new room number is G609. The mailing address is revised as follows: Center for Devices and Radiological Health, Regulations Staff, Document Mail Center-WO66-G609, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002.

Sections 513(e) and (f), 514(b), 515(b), and 520(l) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360c(e) and (f); 360d(b); 360e(b), and 360j(l)), provide for the reclassification of a device and prescribe procedures to petition for reclassification. FDA provides procedures for the content and form of reclassification petitions submitted pursuant to § 860.123(b)(1) for devices regulated by CDRH. The address for submitting a reclassification petition for devices regulated by CDRH in § 860.123(b)(1) is amended to reflect the new room number. The addresses remain the same for the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research and the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
