the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques
when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology.
Adverse Experience Reporting for
Licensed Biological Products; and
General Records —21 CFR Part 600
(OMB Control Number 0910–0308)—
Extension
Under the Public Health Service Act
(42 U.S.C. 262), FDA is required to
ensure the marketing of only those
biological products which are safe and
effective. FDA must, therefore, be
informed of all adverse experiences
occasioned by the use of licensed
biological products. FDA issued the
E:\FR\FM\15FEN1.SGM
15FEN1
8882
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 32 / Friday, February 15, 2008 / Notices
AER requirements in part 600 (21 CFR
part 600) to enable FDA to take actions
necessary for the protection of the
public health in response to reports of
adverse experiences related to licensed
biological products. The primary
purpose of FDA’s AER system is to flag
potentially serious safety problems with
licensed biological products, focusing
especially on newly licensed products.
Although premarket testing discloses a
general safety profile of a biological
product’s comparatively common
adverse effects, the larger and more
diverse patient populations exposed to
the licensed biological product provides
the opportunity to collect information
on rare, latent, and long-term effects.
Reports are obtained from a variety of
sources, including patients, physicians,
foreign regulatory agencies, and clinical
investigators. Information derived from
the AER system contributes directly to
increased public health protection
because such information enables FDA
to recommend important changes to the
product’s labeling (such as adding a
new warning), to initiate removal of a
biological product from the market
when necessary, and to assure the
manufacturer has taken adequate
corrective action if necessary.
The regulation in § 600.80(c)(1)
requires licensed manufacturers to
report each adverse experience that is
both serious and unexpected, whether
foreign or domestic, as soon as possible
but in no case later than 15 calendar
days of initial receipt of the information
by the licensed manufacturer. These are
known as postmarketing 15-day Alert
reports. Section 600.80(c)(1) also
requires licensed manufacturers to
submit any followup reports within 15
calendar days of receipt of new
information or as requested by FDA.
Section 600.80(e) requires licensed
manufacturers to submit a 15-day Alert
report for an adverse experience
obtained from a postmarketing clinical
study only if there is a reasonable
possibility that the product caused the
adverse experience. Section 600.80(c)(2)
requires licensed manufacturers to
report each adverse experience not
reported in a postmarketing 15-day
Alert report at quarterly intervals, for 3
years from the date of issuance of the
biologics license, and then at annual
intervals. The majority of these periodic
reports will be submitted annually
because a large percentage of currently
licensed biological products have been
licensed longer than 3 years. Section
600.80(i) requires licensed
manufacturers to maintain for a period
of 10 years records of all adverse
experiences known to the licensed
manufacturer, including raw data and
any correspondence relating to the
adverse experiences. Section 600.81
requires licensed manufacturers to
submit, at an interval of every 6 months,
information about the quantity of the
product distributed under the biologics
license, including the quantity
distributed to distributors. These
semiannual distribution reports provide
FDA with important information about
products distributed under biologics
licenses, including the quantity, certain
lot numbers, labeled date of expiration,
number of dosage units, and date of
release. Under § 600.90, a licensed
manufacturer may submit a waiver
request for any requirements that
applies to the licensed manufacturer
under § 600.80 and 600.81. A waiver
request submitted under § 600.90 must
include supporting documentation.
Manufacturers of biological products
for human use must keep records of
each step in the manufacture and
distribution of a product including any
recalls. These recordkeeping
requirements serve preventative and
remedial purposes by establishing
accountability and traceability in the
manufacture and distribution of
products. These requirements also
enable FDA to perform meaningful
inspections.
Section 600.12 requires, among other
things, concurrently with the
performance of each step that all records
of each step in the manufacture and
distribution of a product be made and
retained for no less than 5 years after the
records of manufacture have been
completed or 6 months after the latest
expiration date for the individual
product, whichever represents a later
date. In addition, manufacturers must
maintain records of sterilization of
equipment and supplies, animal
necropsy records, and records in cases
of divided manufacturing of a product.
Section 600.12(b)(2) requires
manufacturers to maintain complete
records pertaining to the recall from
distribution of any product.
Respondents to this collection of
information are manufacturers of
biological products. Under table 1 of
this document, the number of
respondents is based on the estimated
number of manufacturers that submitted
the required information to the Center
for Biologics Evaluation and Research
and Center for Drug Evaluation and
Research, FDA, in fiscal year (FY) 2006.
Based on information obtained from
FDA’s database system, there were 88
licensed biologics manufacturers. This
number excludes those manufacturers
who produce blood and blood
components and in-vitro diagnostic
licensed products, because § 600.80(k)
specifically exempts manufacturers of
these products from adverse experience
reporting requirements. The total annual
responses are based on the estimated
number of submissions received
annually by FDA in FY 2006. However,
not all manufacturers have submissions
in a given year and some may have
multiple submissions. There were an
estimated 23,835 15-day Alert reports,
21,872 periodic reports, and 179 lot
distribution reports submitted to FDA.
The number of 15-day Alert reports for
postmarketing studies under § 600.80(e)
is included in the total number of 15day Alert reports. FDA received 6
requests for waiver under § 600.90, all of
which were granted. The hours per
response are based on FDA experience.
The burden hours required to complete
the MedWatch Form for § 600.80(c)(1),
(e), and (f) are reported under OMB
control no. 0910–0291.
FDA estimates the burden of this

opportunity for public comment on the proposed collection of certain
information by the agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(the PRA), Federal agencies are required to publish notice in the
Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an existing collection of
information, and to allow 60 days for public comment in response to the
notice. This notice solicits comments on the information collection
requirements relating to FDA's adverse experience reporting (AER) for
licensed biological products, and general records associated with the
manufacture and distribution of biological products.
DATES: Submit written or electronic comments on the collection of
information by April 15, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments on the collection of information

number found in brackets in the heading of this document.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: JonnaLynn P. Capezzuto, Office of the
Chief Information Officer (HFA-250), Food and Drug Administration, 5600
Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301-827-4659.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection
of information set forth in this document.
With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's
functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.
Adverse Experience Reporting for Licensed Biological Products; and
General Records --21 CFR Part 600 (OMB Control Number 0910-0308)--
Extension
Under the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 262), FDA is
required to ensure the marketing of only those biological products
which are safe and effective. FDA must, therefore, be informed of all
adverse experiences occasioned by the use of licensed biological
products. FDA issued the
[[Page 8882]]
AER requirements in part 600 (21 CFR part 600) to enable FDA to take
actions necessary for the protection of the public health in response
to reports of adverse experiences related to licensed biological
products. The primary purpose of FDA's AER system is to flag
potentially serious safety problems with licensed biological products,
focusing especially on newly licensed products. Although premarket
testing discloses a general safety profile of a biological product's
comparatively common adverse effects, the larger and more diverse
patient populations exposed to the licensed biological product provides
the opportunity to collect information on rare, latent, and long-term
effects. Reports are obtained from a variety of sources, including
patients, physicians, foreign regulatory agencies, and clinical
investigators. Information derived from the AER system contributes
directly to increased public health protection because such information
enables FDA to recommend important changes to the product's labeling
(such as adding a new warning), to initiate removal of a biological
product from the market when necessary, and to assure the manufacturer
has taken adequate corrective action if necessary.
The regulation in Sec. 600.80(c)(1) requires licensed
manufacturers to report each adverse experience that is both serious
and unexpected, whether foreign or domestic, as soon as possible but in
no case later than 15 calendar days of initial receipt of the
information by the licensed manufacturer. These are known as
postmarketing 15-day Alert reports. Section 600.80(c)(1) also requires
licensed manufacturers to submit any followup reports within 15
calendar days of receipt of new information or as requested by FDA.
Section 600.80(e) requires licensed manufacturers to submit a 15-day
Alert report for an adverse experience obtained from a postmarketing
clinical study only if there is a reasonable possibility that the
product caused the adverse experience. Section 600.80(c)(2) requires
licensed manufacturers to report each adverse experience not reported
in a postmarketing 15-day Alert report at quarterly intervals, for 3
years from the date of issuance of the biologics license, and then at
annual intervals. The majority of these periodic reports will be
submitted annually because a large percentage of currently licensed
biological products have been licensed longer than 3 years. Section
600.80(i) requires licensed manufacturers to maintain for a period of
10 years records of all adverse experiences known to the licensed
manufacturer, including raw data and any correspondence relating to the
adverse experiences. Section 600.81 requires licensed manufacturers to
submit, at an interval of every 6 months, information about the
quantity of the product distributed under the biologics license,
including the quantity distributed to distributors. These semiannual
distribution reports provide FDA with important information about
products distributed under biologics licenses, including the quantity,
certain lot numbers, labeled date of expiration, number of dosage
units, and date of release. Under Sec. 600.90, a licensed manufacturer
may submit a waiver request for any requirements that applies to the
licensed manufacturer under Sec. 600.80 and 600.81. A waiver request
submitted under Sec. 600.90 must include supporting documentation.
Manufacturers of biological products for human use must keep
records of each step in the manufacture and distribution of a product
including any recalls. These recordkeeping requirements serve
preventative and remedial purposes by establishing accountability and
traceability in the manufacture and distribution of products. These
requirements also enable FDA to perform meaningful inspections.
Section 600.12 requires, among other things, concurrently with the
performance of each step that all records of each step in the
manufacture and distribution of a product be made and retained for no
less than 5 years after the records of manufacture have been completed
or 6 months after the latest expiration date for the individual
product, whichever represents a later date. In addition, manufacturers
must maintain records of sterilization of equipment and supplies,
animal necropsy records, and records in cases of divided manufacturing
of a product. Section 600.12(b)(2) requires manufacturers to maintain
complete records pertaining to the recall from distribution of any
product.
Respondents to this collection of information are manufacturers of
biological products. Under table 1 of this document, the number of
respondents is based on the estimated number of manufacturers that
submitted the required information to the Center for Biologics
Evaluation and Research and Center for Drug Evaluation and Research,
FDA, in fiscal year (FY) 2006. Based on information obtained from FDA's
database system, there were 88 licensed biologics manufacturers. This
number excludes those manufacturers who produce blood and blood
components and in-vitro diagnostic licensed products, because Sec.
600.80(k) specifically exempts manufacturers of these products from
adverse experience reporting requirements. The total annual responses
are based on the estimated number of submissions received annually by
FDA in FY 2006. However, not all manufacturers have submissions in a
given year and some may have multiple submissions. There were an
estimated 23,835 15-day Alert reports, 21,872 periodic reports, and 179
lot distribution reports submitted to FDA. The number of 15-day Alert
reports for postmarketing studies under Sec. 600.80(e) is included in
the total number of 15-day Alert reports. FDA received 6 requests for
waiver under Sec. 600.90, all of which were granted. The hours per
response are based on FDA experience. The burden hours required to
complete the MedWatch Form for Sec. 600.80(c)(1), (e), and (f) are
reported under OMB control no. 0910-0291.

Under table 2 of this document, the number of respondents is based
on the number of manufacturers subject to those regulations. Based on
information obtained from FDA's database system, there were 303
licensed manufacturers of biological products in FY 2006. However, the
number of recordkeepers listed for Sec. 600.12(a) through (e)
excluding (b)(2) is estimated to be 112. This number excludes
manufacturers of blood and blood components because their burden hours
for recordkeeping have been reported under 21 CFR 606.160 in OMB
control no. 0910-0116. The total annual records is based on the annual
average of lots released (5,291), number of recalls made (1,841), and
total number of adverse experience reports received (45,707) in FY
2006. The hours per record are based on FDA experience.
FDA estimates the burden of this recordkeeping as follows:
