FDA's Dockets Management serves as the official repository for the administrative proceedings and rule-making documents for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), an operating division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Dockets Management is administered by the Federal Dockets Management System (FDMS) located at Regulations.gov (see FR announcing this transition). The system allows consumers to access FDA's administrative proceedings and rule-making documents more readily, including Federal Registers, Petitions, supporting documents and comments. Regulations.gov also serves as a vehicle for making your voice heard at FDA by providing the ability to submit comments electronically.
