SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES I. Background In the Federal Register of October 1, 1999 (64 FR 53281), FDA published a proposed rule to implement section 506A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 356a) for NADAs and ANDAs. In that same issue of the Federal Register (64 FR 53393), VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:01 May 30, 2007 Jkt 211001 FDA published a notice announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled ‘‘Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Control Changes to an Approved NADA or ANADA,’’ giving interested persons until December 15, 1999, to submit comments. FDA considered all comments received and, where appropriate, incorporated them into the guidance. This guidance covers recommended reporting categories for various postapproval manufacturing changes and provides recommendations to holders of NADAs and ANADAs on how they should report such changes in accordance with the final regulation, 21 CFR 514.8, issued in the Federal Register of December 13, 2006 (71 FR 74766). Recommendations are provided for postapproval changes in: (1) Components and composition, (2) manufacturing sites, (3) manufacturing process, (4) specifications, (5) container closure system, as well as (6) miscellaneous changes and (7) multiple related changes. This guidance does not provide recommendations on the specific information that should be developed by an applicant to assess the effect of the change on the identity, strength (e.g., assay, content uniformity), quality (e.g., physical, chemical, and biological properties), purity (e.g., impurities and degradation products), or potency (e.g., biological activity, bioavailability, bioequivalence) of a drug as these factors may relate to the safety or effectiveness of the drug. An applicant should consider all relevant FDA guidance documents for recommendations on the information that should be submitted to support a given change. have been approved under OMB Control No. 0910–0600. IV. Comments As with all of FDA’s guidance, the public is encouraged to submit written or electronic comments with new data or other new information pertinent to this guidance.

The agency will notify the public of any such amendments through a notice in the Federal Register. Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES) written or electronic comments regarding this document. Submit a single copy of electronic comments or two paper copies of any mailed comments, except that individuals may submit one paper copy. Comments should be identified with the full title of the guidance document and the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    To receive approval for an ANDA, an applicant generally must 
demonstrate, among other things, that its product has the same active 
ingredient, dosage form, strength, route of administration and 
conditions of use as the listed drug, and that the proposed drug 
product is bioequivalent to the reference listed drug (21 U.S.C. 
355(j)(2)(A); 21 CFR 314.94(a)). Bioequivalent drug products show no 
significant difference in the rate and extent of absorption of the 
therapeutic ingredient (21 U.S.C. 355(j)(8); 21 CFR 320.1(e)). BE 
studies are undertaken in support of ANDA submissions with the goal of 
demonstrating BE between a proposed generic drug product and its 
reference listed drug. The regulations governing BE are provided at 21 
CFR in part 320.
    The draft guidance entitled ``Bioequivalence Recommendations for 
Specific Products'' describes the following process for making 
available draft and final product-specific BE recommendations:
     FDA will develop product-specific BE recommendations and 
post them on the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) 
guidance page (https://www.fda.gov/cder/) in draft to 
facilitate public consideration and comment. The recommendations can be 
viewed by clicking on the URL associated with the ``Bioequivalence 
Recommendations for Specific Products'' guidance on the CDER guidance 
page or on the Office of Generic Drugs Page (see www.fda.gov/cder/ogd/
index.htm). Users can also search for a specific product BE 
recommendation using the search tool on the CDER guidance page.
     Newly posted draft and final BE recommendations will be 
announced in the ``Newly Added Guidance Documents'' list, which is 
posted monthly on the CDER guidance page.
     The agency will issue a notice in the Federal Register 
announcing the availability on the FDA web site of new product-specific 
draft and final BE recommendations. The notice will identify a comment 
period for the recommendations.
     Comments on product-specific BE recommendations will be 
considered in developing final BE recommendations.
     The BE recommendations will be revised as appropriate to 
ensure that the most up-to-date BE information is available to the 
public.
    FDA is making the first group of draft product-specific BE 
recommendations available concurrently with the issuance of the draft 
guidance document describing the process.
