Modification of Certain Terminology in Title 21

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the Agency, or we) is issuing a proposed rule to modify certain terminology in Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to comply with Executive Order (E.O.) 14168, "Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government," issued on January 20, 2025. Specifically, this proposed rule, if finalized, will remove the term "gender" wherever it appears and either replace it with the term "sex," or delete reference to gender, as applicable, along with other editorial changes to improve readability.
