FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Guidance for Industry on Postmarketing Adverse Event Reporting for Nonprescription Human Drug Products Marketed Without an Approved Application (OMB Control Number 0910–0636)—Extension Respondents to this collection of information are manufacturers, packers, and distributors whose name (under section 502(b)(1) (21 U.S.C. 352(b)(1)) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act)) appears on the label of a nonprescription drug marketed in the United States. FDA is requesting public comment on estimates of annual submissions from these respondents, as required by the Dietary Supplement and Nonprescription Drug Consumer Protection Act (Pub. L. 109–462) and described in the guidance. The guidance document discusses what should be included in a serious adverse drug event report submitted under section 760(b)(1) (21 U.S.C. 379aa(b)(1)) of the FD&C Act, including follow-up reports under 760(c)(2) (21 U.S.C. 379aa(c)(2)) of the FD&C Act, and how to submit these reports. The estimates for the annual reporting and recordkeeping burdens are based on FDA data on the number of adverse drug experience reports submitted for nonprescription drug products marketed without an approved application, including FDA’s knowledge about the time needed to prepare the reports and to maintain records. In the Federal Register of January 23, 2015 (80 FR 3608), FDA published a 60day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. FDA received one comment. The comment requested that we increase the reporting burden estimates from 2 hours to 6 hours and the recordkeeping burden estimates from 5 hours to 8 hours. The comment said although there may be circumstances where FDA’s estimates for reporting and recordkeeping may be accurate, the comment contended that, in its experience, the approximations are underestimated. The comment said that as many as 6 hours may be required to complete a single serious adverse event report, especially when the sponsor’s medical and quality review teams are involved, and that as many as 8 hours may be required to maintain all relevant records for a single adverse event report as stipulated by statute. FDA Response: We have reconsidered our estimates, and agree with the comment that there may be circumstances where 6 hours would be needed to prepare and submit a report to us and 8 hours may be needed for recordkeeping. We have revised our reporting and recordkeeping burden estimates accordingly. Based on FDA data, we estimate between 10,000 and 15,000 (i.e., approximately 12,500) total annual responses from approximately 50 respondents for nonprescription drugs marketed without an approved application, and we also estimate that each submission will take approximately 6 hours to prepare and submit.

The guidance document recommends that respondents maintain records of efforts to obtain the minimum data elements for a report of a serious adverse drug event and any follow-up reports. We estimate that there are approximately 20,000 records per year maintained by approximately 200 respondents, and that it takes approximately 8 hours to maintain each record.

Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information set forth in this document. With respect to the following collection of information, FDA invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA’s functions, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information technology. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Hearing, Aging, and Direct-toConsumer Television Advertisements— (OMB Control Number 0910–NEW) Section 1701(a)(4) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300u(a)(4)) authorizes the FDA to conduct research relating to health information. Section 1003(d)(2)(C) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 393(b)(2)(c)) authorizes FDA to conduct research relating to drugs and other FDA regulated products in carrying out the provisions of the FD&C Act. Older adults use a disproportionate number of prescription drugs (Ref. 1) and watch more television than other age groups (Ref. 2). Age-related changes in hearing are common (Ref. 3, 4, and 5) and, depending on their severity, influence the understanding of speech. DTC television advertisements (ads) contain large amounts of complex information about prescription drug treatments that may be particularly relevant to a population that is PO 00000 Frm 00046 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 36545 experiencing some level of hearing loss. Moreover, much of the information in these ads is conveyed by voiceover, meaning that the audio channel is the only way to receive the information. Although people with serious hearing loss may compensate by using closed captioning (which may or may not be available for ads) or hearing aids, some individuals experience the effects of hearing loss without realizing that it is the cause and others choose not to use external compensatory aids (Ref. 6). For these reasons, FDA is proposing research to investigate how people at various ages and levels of hearing ability comprehend DTC ads. Sponsors of DTC ads cannot control the hearing abilities of their audiences. Nonetheless, researchers have identified several aspects of DTC ads within their control that influence the understanding of speech in individuals who experience aging-related hearing loss. First, frequency thresholds differ as people age; older adults are not able to hear higher frequencies as well (Ref. 7 and 8). Second, DTC television ads contain a risk statement of the most serious and most common side effects, called ‘‘the major statement’’. FDA regulations require that the major statement must be included in at least the audio portion of the ad (Ref. 9). The risks of a medical product often include highly technical medical terms that must be transformed into consumer-friendly language to convey the risks appropriately. This is easier in some cases than in others. In addition, there are techniques to help reduce the complexity of the major statement, such as maintaining active voice, reducing instances where words need clarification from other later words in the broadcast, and using shorter sentences. Third, television ad spots are typically bought in increments of 15 seconds, leading to many 30- and 60second ads, and some 75-second ads when risk information is especially dense. In order to fit the required information into this time frame, the audio presentation speed may be adjusted to be faster or slower. Research has shown that fast speech is more difficult to understand than slower speech, even for healthy young adults (Ref. 10). Thus, we propose to examine the effects of three aspects of DTC ads (voice frequency, complexity of major statement, speed of major statement) on the comprehension of the ads among four different age groups of individuals. Because hearing losses begin to occur as people age, we will examine a group of middle-aged adults (40–50 years), young-old adults (60–75 years), and oldold adults (75+ years), and a group of E:\FR\FM\25JNN1.SGM 25JNN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has 
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for 
review and clearance.

Guidance for Industry on Postmarketing Adverse Event Reporting for 
Nonprescription Human Drug Products Marketed Without an Approved 
Application (OMB Control Number 0910-0636)--Extension

    Respondents to this collection of information are manufacturers, 
packers, and distributors whose name (under section 502(b)(1) (21 
U.S.C. 352(b)(1)) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C 
Act)) appears on the label of a nonprescription drug marketed in the 
United States. FDA is requesting public comment on estimates of annual 
submissions from these respondents, as required by the Dietary 
Supplement and Nonprescription Drug Consumer Protection Act (Pub. L. 
109-462) and described in the guidance. The guidance document discusses 
what should be included in a serious adverse drug event report 
submitted under section 760(b)(1) (21 U.S.C. 379aa(b)(1)) of the FD&C 
Act, including follow-up reports under 760(c)(2) (21 U.S.C. 
379aa(c)(2)) of the FD&C Act, and how to submit these reports. The 
estimates for the annual reporting and recordkeeping burdens are based 
on FDA data on the number of adverse drug experience reports submitted 
for nonprescription drug products marketed without an approved 
application, including FDA's knowledge about the time needed to prepare 
the reports and to maintain records.
    In the Federal Register of January 23, 2015 (80 FR 3608), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. FDA received one comment. The comment 
requested that we increase the reporting burden estimates from 2 hours 
to 6 hours and the recordkeeping burden estimates from 5 hours to 8 
hours. The comment said although there may be circumstances where FDA's 
estimates for reporting and recordkeeping may be accurate, the comment 
contended that, in its experience, the approximations are 
underestimated. The comment said that as many as 6 hours may be 
required to complete a single serious adverse event report, especially 
when the sponsor's medical and quality review teams are involved, and 
that as many as 8 hours may be required to maintain all relevant 
records for a single adverse event report as stipulated by statute.
    FDA Response: We have reconsidered our estimates, and agree with 
the comment that there may be circumstances where 6 hours would be 
needed to prepare and submit a report to us and 8 hours may be needed 
for recordkeeping. We have revised our reporting and recordkeeping 
burden estimates accordingly.
    Based on FDA data, we estimate between 10,000 and 15,000 (i.e., 
approximately 12,500) total annual responses from approximately 50 
respondents for nonprescription drugs marketed without an approved 
application, and we also estimate that each submission will take 
approximately 6 hours to prepare and submit.
