Submit electronic comments to https:// www.fda.gov/dockets/ecomments. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David J. Cummings, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 21, rm. 3525, Rockville, MD 20993–0002, 301–796– 2400, e-mail: David.Cummings@fda.hhs.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background On February 7, 2007, FDA held a public meeting to solicit comments on issues that FDA should consider if it decides to propose revisions to § 314.70 (21 CFR 314.70) regarding CMC supplements and other changes to approved marketing applications for human drugs. In the notice announcing the public meeting (72 FR 574), FDA stated that current § 314.70 categorizes postapproval CMC changes and their associated reporting requirements without consideration of the applicant’s risk management activities or internal quality systems and practices; therefore, § 314.70 reflects a rules-based, or prescriptive, approach to regulating postapproval manufacturing changes. Current § 314.70 may create regulatory burdens and costs that discourage beneficial manufacturing changes and may not support a desirable level of innovation, modernization, and flexibility for the industry as described in FDA’s pharmaceutical current good manufacturing practices for the 21st century initiative (CGMP Initiative). Consistent with the agency’s risk-based approach to regulating pharmaceutical manufacturing described in the CGMP Initiative, FDA is considering possible revisions to § 314.70 to allow for more manufacturing changes to be made without prior FDA approval using a firm’s internal change control system and to allow for consideration of riskbased approaches based on manufacturing process understanding, including prior knowledge of similar products, and overall quality systems to provide an enhanced risk-based approach to the CMC regulatory process. Interested persons were given until March 7, 2007, to submit written or electronic comments to the agency related to the focus of the public meeting. As a result of continued public interest, FDA is reopening the comment period until May 18, 2007, to allow interested persons additional time to submit comments. II. Request for Comments Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES) written or electronic comments related to this topic (see DATES). All relevant data and information should be submitted with the written comments. Submit a single copy of electronic comments or two paper copies of any mailed comments, except that individuals may submit one copy. Comments are to be identified with Docket No. 2006N–0525. Received comments may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

The Uniform Data System (UDS) contains the annual reporting requirements for the cluster of primary care grantees funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The UDS includes reporting requirements for grantees of the following primary care programs: Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Centers, Health Care for the Homeless, Public Housing Primary Care, and other grantees under Section 330. The authorizing statute is section 330 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. HRSA collects data in the UDS which is used to ensure compliance with legislative mandates and to report to Congress and policymakers on program accomplishments. To meet these objectives, BPHC requires a core set of data collected annually that is appropriate for monitoring and evaluating performance and reporting on annual trends. The 2008 calendar year UDS will be revised in several ways. Certain UDS tables are being proposed for elimination or modification to streamline data collection and reporting. A limited number of clinical measures will be added for reporting quality of care, health outcomes, and disparities data.

Proposed Project: Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) Uniform Data 
System (OMB No. 0915-0193) Revision for 2008

    The Uniform Data System (UDS) contains the annual reporting 
requirements for the cluster of primary care grantees funded by the 
Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The UDS includes 
reporting requirements for grantees of the following primary care 
programs: Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Centers, Health Care 
for the Homeless, Public Housing Primary Care, and other grantees under 
Section 330. The authorizing statute is section 330 of the Public 
Health Service Act, as amended.
    HRSA collects data in the UDS which is used to ensure compliance 
with legislative mandates and to report to Congress and policymakers on 
program accomplishments. To meet these objectives, BPHC requires a core 
set of data collected annually that is appropriate for monitoring and 
evaluating performance and reporting on annual trends. The 2008 
calendar year UDS will be revised in several ways. Certain UDS tables 
are being proposed for elimination or modification to streamline data 
collection and reporting. A limited number of clinical measures will be 
added for reporting quality of care, health outcomes, and disparities 
data. In addition, the tool used to report calendar year UDS data will 
be changed to a Web-based tool.
    Estimates of Annualized Reporting Burden are as Follows:
