Sec. 1.4  Authority citations.

    (a) For each part of its regulations, the Food and Drug 
Administration includes a centralized citation of all of the statutory 
provisions that provide authority for any regulation that is included in 
that part.
    (b) The agency may rely on any one or more of the authorities that 
are listed for a particular part in implementing or enforcing any 
section in that part.
    (c) All citations of authority in this chapter will list the 
applicable sections in the organic statute if the statute is the Federal 
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the Public Health Service Act, or the Fair 
Packaging and Labeling Act. References to an act or a section thereof 
include references to amendments to that act or section. These citations 
will also list the corresponding United States Code (U.S.C.) sections. 
For example, a citation to section 701 of the Federal Food, Drug, and 
Cosmetic Act would be listed: Sec. 701 of the Federal Food, Drug, and 
Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 371).
    (d) If the organic statute is one other than those specified in 
paragraph (c) of this section, the citations of authority in this 
chapter generally will list only the applicable U.S.C. sections. For 
example, a citation to section 552 of the Administrative Procedure Act 
would be listed: 5 U.S.C. 552. The agency may, where it determines that 
such measures are in the interest of clarity and public understanding, 
list the applicable sections in the organic statute and the 
corresponding U.S.C. section in the same manner set out in paragraph (c) 
of this section. References to an act or a section thereof include 
references to amendments to that act or section.
    (e) Where there is no U.S.C. provision, the agency will include a 
citation to the U.S. Statutes at Large. Citations to the U.S. Statutes 
at Large will refer to volume and page.
    (f) The authority citations will include a citation to executive 
delegations (i.e., Executive Orders), if any, necessary to link the 
statutory authority to the agency.
