*Federal Register* proposed rule: FDA is proposing to amend requirements for medical device premarket submissions to remove paper and multiple copies and replace them with requirements for a single submission in electronic format. If finalized, the rule would reduce the number of required copies in electronic format and make more efficient the agency’s premarket submission program for medical devices.
