The meeting room accommodates approximately 15 people. Call the ATSDR/ORR field office for the conference bridge line and access code. Background: A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed in October 1990 and renewed in September 2000 between ATSDR and DOE. The MOU delineates the responsibilities and procedures for ATSDR’s public health activities at DOE sites required under sections 104, 105, 107, and 120 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA or ASuperfund@). These activities include health consultations and public health assessments at DOE sites listed on, or proposed for, the Superfund National Priorities List and at sites that are the subject of petitions from the public; and other healthrelated activities such as epidemiologic studies, health surveillance, exposure and disease registries, health education, substance-specific applied research, emergency response, and preparation of toxicological profiles. In addition, under an MOU signed in December 1990 with DOE and replaced by an MOU signed in 2000, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has been given the responsibility and resources for conducting analytic epidemiologic investigations of residents of communities in the vicinity of DOE facilities, workers at DOE facilities, and other persons potentially exposed to radiation or to potential hazards from non-nuclear energy production and use. HHS has delegated program responsibility to CDC. Community involvement is a critical part of ATSDR’s and CDC’s energy-related research and activities, and input from members of the ORRHES is part of these efforts. Purpose: The purpose of this meeting is to address issues that are unique to community involvement with the ORRHES, and agency updates. Matters To Be Discussed: Agenda item will include a discussion on the draft TSCA Public Health Assessment, comments from the Exposure Investigation Workgroup, and updates from the Agency. Agenda items are subject to change as priorities dictate.

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry and FDA staff entitled ‘‘Application User Fees for Combination Products.’’ This document provides guidance to industry and FDA staff on marketing application user fees for combination products. The guidance also describes how the ‘‘barrier to innovation’’ waiver provision under the prescription drug user fee provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) may be applied to innovative combination products in the infrequent situation where FDA requires the submission of two marketing applications. DATES: Submit written or electronic comments on this guidance at any time. General comments on agency guidance documents are welcome at any time. ADDRESSES: Submit written requests for copies of this guidance to the Office of Combination Products (HFG–3), 15800 Crabbs Branch Way, Rockville, MD 20855, or FAX: 301–427–1935. Send one self-addressed adhesive label to assist that office in processing your requests.

Submit electronic comments to https://www.fda.gov/dockets/ecomments. See the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for electronic access to the guidance document. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark D. Kramer, Office of Combination Products (HFG–3), Food and Drug Administration, 15800 Crabbs Branch Way, Rockville, MD 20855, 301–427– 1934. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry and FDA staff entitled ‘‘Application User Fees for Combination Products.’’ In the Federal Register of September 28, 2004 (69 FR 57942), FDA issued a notice of PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 availability of a draft guidance document covering the same topic. As defined under 21 CFR 3.2(e), a combination product is a product comprised of any combination of a drug and a device; a biological product and a device; a drug and a biological product; or a drug, device, and a biological product. Depending upon the type of combination product, approval, clearance, or licensure may be obtained through submission of a single marketing application, or through separate marketing applications for the individual constituent parts of the combination product. For most combination products, a single marketing application is sufficient for the product’s approval, clearance, or licensure. In some cases, two marketing applications may be submitted for a combination product when one application would suffice. For example, a sponsor may choose to submit two applications when one would suffice in order to receive some benefit from having two applications. In other cases, FDA may determine that two marketing applications are necessary. In 1992, Congress passed the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA). PDUFA authorized FDA to collect fees from companies that produce certain human drug and biological products. The Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act of 2002 amended the act to provide for user fees for the review of device applications. When a company requests approval of a new drug, device, or biological product prior to marketing, it must submit an application along with a fee to support the review process. This document provides guidance to industry and FDA staff on marketing application user fees for combination products. The guidance document explains that combination products for which a single marketing application is submitted, should be assessed the user fee associated with that particular type of marketing application. The document explains that if a sponsor chooses to submit two marketing applications when one would suffice, a user fee for each application would ordinarily be assessed. The document also explains that in the infrequent situation where FDA requires two marketing applications for a combination product, two application fees would ordinarily be assessed. However, the guidance also describes how the PDUFA ‘‘barrier to innovation’’ waiver provision may be applied to innovative combination products for which FDA requires the submission of two marketing applications. Such a waiver would provide a reduction in application user E:\FR\FM\21APN1.SGM 21APN1
