*Federal Register* final rule technical amendment: FDA has made revisions to Chapter I of its regulations to eliminate the position of regional food and drug director. The revisions replace references to the regional food and drug director, who is designated to preside over administrative appeals and at informal hearings on appeal, with references to Office of Regulatory Affairs program directors.
