SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BILLING CODE 6210–01–P DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Food and Drug Administration [Docket No. FDA–2016–N–2066] Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for Office of Management and Budget Review; Comment Request; Certification of Identity for Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act Requests AGENCY: ACTION: Food and Drug Administration, HHS. Certification of Identity for Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act Requests—OMB Control Number 0910—NEW In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA will submit to OMB a request to review and approve a new collection of information: Certification of Identity for Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act Requests. This new form provides the FDA with data necessary to identify an individual requesting a particular 19049 record under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and the Privacy Act. The form is available at the following FDA FOIA page at: https:// www.fda.gov/RegulatoryInformation/ FOI/default.htm, although if an individual requests one, we will send it by mail or email. The FOIA grants the public a right to access Federal records not normally prepared for public distribution. The Privacy Act grants a right of access to members of the public who seek access to one’s own records that are maintained in an Agency’s system of records (i.e. the records are retrieved by that individual’s name or other personal identifier). The statutes overlap, and individuals who request their own records are processed under both statutes. The Agency may need to confirm that the individual making the FOIA or Privacy Act request is indeed the same person named in the Agency records. Members of the public who wish to access particular records will be asked for certain information: Name, citizenship status, social security number, address, date of birth, place of birth, signature, and date of signature. In the Federal Register of August 4, 2016 (81 FR 51455), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. No comments were received. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: As stated in table 1, the estimates are based on the following: The number of FOIA and Privacy Act requests received by FDA each year that require a certification of identity in order for FDA to process the request. Of the 10,000 requests received per year, only a small number require a certification of identity. In some cases, the requesters provide their own certification of identity. Therefore, we have estimated the number of affected individuals at 60 per year.

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: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:42 Apr 24, 2017 Jkt 241001 FDA’s guidance for industry entitled ‘‘Citizen Petitions and Petitions for Stay of Action Subject to Section 505(q) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act’’ provides information regarding FDA’s current thinking on interpreting section 914 of Title IX of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act (FDAAA) (Pub. L. 110–85). Section 914 of FDAAA added new section 505(q) to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 355(q)) and governs certain citizen petitions and petitions for stay of Agency action that request that FDA take any form of action related to a pending application submitted under section 505(b)(2) or 505(j) of the FD&C Act. The guidance describes FDA’s interpretation of section 505(q) of the FD&C Act regarding how the Agency will determine if: (1) The provisions of section 505(q) addressing the treatment of citizen petitions and petitions for stay of Agency action (collectively, petitions) apply to a particular petition and (2) a petition would delay approval of a pending abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) or a 505(b)(2) application. The guidance also describes how FDA will interpret the provisions of section 505(q) requiring that: (1) A petition includes a certification and (2) supplemental information or comments to a petition include a verification. Finally, the guidance addresses the relationship between the review of petitions and pending ANDAs and 505(b)(2) applications for which the Agency has not yet made a decision on approvability. The Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA) was signed into law on July 9, 2012 (Pub. L. 112–144). Section 1135 of FDASIA amended section 505(q) of the FD&C Act in two ways. First, it shortened FDA’s deadline from 180 days to 150 days for responding to petitions subject to section 505(q) of the FD&C Act. Second, it expanded the scope of section 505(q) of the FD&C Act to include certain petitions concerning applications submitted under section 351(k) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 262), the abbreviated pathway for the approval of biosimilar biological products. Accordingly, we are now including submissions pertaining to biosimilar biological product applications in the information PO 00000 Frm 00035 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 collection burden estimates in this document. Section 505(q)(1)(H) of the FD&C Act requires that citizen petitions and petitions for stay of Agency action that are subject to section 505(q) include a certification to be considered for review by FDA. Section 505(q)(1)(I) of the FD&C Act requires that supplemental information or comments to such citizen petitions and petitions for stay of Agency action include a verification to be accepted for review by FDA. The guidance sets forth the criteria the Agency will use in determining if the provisions of section 505(q) of the FD&C Act apply to a particular citizen petition or petition for stay of Agency action. The guidance states that one of the criteria for a citizen petition or petition for stay of Agency action to be subject to section 505(q) of the FD&C Act is that a related ANDA or 505(b)(2) application is pending at the time the citizen petition or petition for stay is submitted. Because petitioners or commenters may not be aware of the existence of a pending ANDA or 505(b)(2) application, the guidance recommends that all petitioners challenging the approvability of a possible ANDA or 505(b)(2) application include the certification required in section 505(q)(1)(H) of the FD&C Act and that petitioners and commenters submitting supplements or comments, respectively, to a citizen petition or petition for stay of action challenging the approvability of a possible ANDA or 505(b)(2) application include the verification required in section 505(q)(1)(I) of the FD&C Act. The guidance also recommends that if a petitioner submits a citizen petition or petition for stay of Agency action that is missing the required certification but is otherwise within the scope of section 505(q) of the FD&C Act and the petitioner would like FDA to review the citizen petition or petition for stay of Agency action, the petitioner should submit a letter withdrawing the deficient petition and submit a new petition that contains the required certification. FDA currently has OMB approval for the collection of information entitled ‘‘General Administrative Procedures: Citizen Petitions; Petition for Reconsideration or Stay of Action; Advisory Opinions’’ (OMB control number 0910–0191). This collection of information includes, among other things: (1) The format and procedures by which an interested person may submit to FDA, in accordance with § 10.20 (21 CFR 10.20), a citizen petition requesting the Commissioner of Food and Drugs (Commissioner) to issue, amend, or revoke a regulation or order, E:\FR\FM\25APN1.SGM 25APN1

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.

Certification of Identity for Freedom of Information Act and Privacy 
Act Requests--OMB Control Number 0910--NEW

    In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA will submit to OMB a request 
to review and approve a new collection of information: Certification of 
Identity for Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act Requests. This 
new form provides the FDA with data necessary to identify an individual 
requesting a particular record under the Freedom of Information Act 
(FOIA) and the Privacy Act. The form is available at the following FDA 
FOIA page at: https://www.fda.gov/RegulatoryInformation/FOI/default.htm, although if an individual requests one, we will send it by 
mail or email. The FOIA grants the public a right to access Federal 
records not normally prepared for public distribution. The Privacy Act 
grants a right of access to members of the public who seek access to 
one's own records that are maintained in an Agency's system of records 
(i.e. the records are retrieved by that individual's name or other 
personal identifier). The statutes overlap, and individuals who request 
their own records are processed under both statutes. The Agency may 
need to confirm that the individual making the FOIA or Privacy Act 
request is indeed the same person named in the Agency records.
    Members of the public who wish to access particular records will be 
asked for certain information: Name, citizenship status, social 
security number, address, date of birth, place of birth, signature, and 
date of signature.
    In the Federal Register of August 4, 2016 (81 FR 51455), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. No comments were received.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:
    As stated in table 1, the estimates are based on the following: The 
number of FOIA and Privacy Act requests received by FDA each year that 
require a certification of identity in order for FDA to process the 
request. Of the 10,000 requests received per year, only a small number 
require a certification of identity. In some cases, the requesters 
provide their own certification of identity. Therefore, we have 
estimated the number of affected individuals at 60 per year.
