FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karen L. Nelson, Office of Management Programs (HFA–250), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301–827–1482. 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. Regulations For In Vivo Radiopharmaceuticals Used For Diagnosis and Monitoring—(OMB Control Number 0910–0409)—Extension In response to the requirements of section 122 of the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (FDAMA) (Public Law 105–115), FDA published a final rule (64 FR 26675, May 17, 1999) amending its regulations by adding provisions that clarify FDA’s evaluation and approval of in vivo radiopharmaceuticals used in the diagnosis or monitoring of diseases. The regulation describes the kinds of indications of diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals and some of the criteria that the agency would use to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a diagnostic radiopharmaceutical under section 505 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 355) and section 351 of the Public Health Service Act (the PHS Act) (42 U.S.C. 262). Information about the safety or effectiveness of a diagnostic radiopharmaceutical enables FDA to properly evaluate the safety and effectiveness profiles of a new diagnostic radiopharmaceutical or a new indication for use of an approved diagnostic radiopharmaceutical. The rule clarifies existing FDA requirements for approval and evaluation of drug and biological products already in place under the authorities of the act and the PHS Act. The information, which is usually submitted as part of a new drug application (NDA), biologics license application, or as a supplement to an approved application, typically includes, but is not limited to, nonclinical and clinical data on the pharmacology, toxicology, adverse events, radiation safety assessments, and chemistry, manufacturing, and controls. The content and format of an application for approval of a new drug are set forth in § 314.50 (21 CFR 314.50). Under 21 CFR part 315, information required under the act and needed by FDA to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of in vivo radiopharmaceuticals still needs to be reported. Based on the number of submissions (that is, human drug applications and/ or new indication supplements for diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals) that FDA receives, the agency estimates that it will receive approximately two submissions annually from two applicants. The hours per response refers to the estimated number of hours that an applicant would spend preparing the information required by the regulations. Based on FDA’s experience, the agency estimates the time needed to prepare a complete application for a diagnostic radiopharmaceutical to be approximately 10,000 hours, roughly one-fifth of which, or 2,000 hours, is estimated to be spent preparing the portions of the application that would be affected by these regulations. The regulation does not impose any additional reporting burden for safety and effectiveness information on diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals beyond the estimated burden of 2,000 hours because safety and effectiveness information is already required by § 314.50 (OMB control number 0910– 0001, approved by OMB until March 31, 2005). In fact, clarification in these regulations of FDA’s standards for evaluation of diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals is intended to streamline overall information collection burdens, particularly for diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals that may have well-established, low-risk safety profiles, by enabling manufacturers to tailor information submissions and avoid unnecessary clinical studies. Table 1 of this document contains estimates of the annual reporting burden for the preparation of the safety and effectiveness sections of an application that are imposed by existing regulations. The burden totals do not include an increase in burden. This estimate does not include the actual time needed to conduct studies and trials or other research from which the reported information is obtained.

Regulations For In Vivo Radiopharmaceuticals Used For Diagnosis and 
Monitoring--(OMB Control Number 0910-0409)--Extension

    In response to the requirements of section 122 of the Food and Drug 
Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (FDAMA) (Public Law 105-115), 
FDA published a final rule (64 FR 26675, May 17, 1999) amending its 
regulations by adding provisions that clarify FDA's evaluation and 
approval of in vivo radiopharmaceuticals used in the diagnosis or 
monitoring of diseases. The regulation describes the kinds of 
indications of diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals and some of the criteria 
that the agency would use to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a 
diagnostic radiopharmaceutical under section 505 of the Federal Food, 
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 355) and section 351 of the 
Public Health Service Act (the PHS Act) (42 U.S.C. 262). Information 
about the safety or effectiveness of a diagnostic radiopharmaceutical 
enables FDA to properly evaluate the safety and effectiveness profiles 
of a new diagnostic radiopharmaceutical or a new indication for use of 
an approved diagnostic radiopharmaceutical.
    The rule clarifies existing FDA requirements for approval and 
evaluation of drug and biological products already in place under the 
authorities of the act and the PHS Act. The information, which is 
usually submitted as part of a new drug application (NDA), biologics 
license application, or as a supplement to an approved application, 
typically includes, but is not limited to, nonclinical and clinical 
data on the pharmacology, toxicology, adverse events, radiation safety 
assessments, and chemistry, manufacturing, and controls. The content 
and format of an application for approval of a new drug are set forth 
in Sec.  314.50 (21 CFR 314.50). Under 21 CFR part 315, information 
required under the act and needed by FDA to evaluate the safety and 
effectiveness of in vivo radiopharmaceuticals still needs to be 
reported.
    Based on the number of submissions (that is, human drug 
applications and/or new indication supplements for diagnostic 
radiopharmaceuticals) that FDA receives, the agency estimates that it 
will receive approximately two submissions annually from two 
applicants. The hours per response refers to the estimated number of 
hours that an applicant would spend preparing the information required 
by the regulations. Based on FDA's experience, the agency estimates the 
time needed to prepare a complete application for a diagnostic 
radiopharmaceutical to be approximately 10,000 hours, roughly one-fifth 
of which, or 2,000 hours, is estimated to be spent preparing the 
portions of the application that would be affected by these 
regulations. The regulation does not impose any additional reporting 
burden for safety and effectiveness information on diagnostic 
radiopharmaceuticals beyond the estimated burden of 2,000 hours because 
safety and effectiveness information is already required by Sec.  
314.50 (OMB control number 0910-0001, approved by OMB until March 31, 
2005). In fact, clarification in these regulations of FDA's standards 
for evaluation of diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals is intended to 
streamline overall information collection burdens, particularly for 
diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals that may have well-established, low-
risk safety profiles, by enabling manufacturers to tailor information 
submissions and avoid unnecessary clinical studies. Table 1 of this 
document contains estimates of the annual reporting burden for the 
preparation of the safety and effectiveness sections of an application 
that are imposed by existing regulations. The burden totals do not 
include an increase in burden. This estimate does not include the 
actual time needed to conduct studies and trials or other research from 
which the reported information is obtained.
