        <RULE_TITLE>Exceptions or Alternatives to Labeling Requirements for Products Held by the Strategic National Stockpile</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FDA issued regulations to permit FDA Center Directors to grant an exception or alternative to certain regulatory labeling provisions applicable to human drugs, biological products, or medical devices that are or will be included in the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS).  Under this rule, the appropriate FDA Center Director may grant an exception or alternative to such labeling requirements if he or she determines that compliance with such requirements could adversely affect the safety, effectiveness, or availability of specified lots, batches, or other units of human drugs, biological products, or medical devices that are or will be included in the SNS.  A grant of an exception or alternative under these regulations will include any safeguards or conditions deemed appropriate by the FDA Center Director to ensure that the labeling of such products includes information for the safe and effective use of the products given their anticipated circumstances of use.  This rule will facilitate the safety, effectiveness, and availability of appropriate medical countermeasures in the event of a public health emergency.]]></ABSTRACT>
