I. Background

notice of availability with a 60-day comment period to provide comments
on the draft guidance entitled ``Advanced Manufacturing Technologies

has received requests to extend the comment period to allow sufficient
time to develop and submit meaningful comments. FDA has considered the
requests and is extending the comment period for 30 days, until March
13, 2024. The Agency believes that this extension allows adequate time
for interested persons to submit comments.
