Third, the comment asked whether ‘‘the manufacturing facility is approvable or to be re-inspected’’ if the dispute is not resolved at the end of the tier-two DR stage. FDA Response—As described in the guidance, it is FDA’s intention to resolve through the DR process all issues raised by the manufacturer. If FDA agrees with the manufacturer, the Form FDA 483 that prompted the request for formal dispute resolution would be revised or rescinded. If FDA disagrees with the manufacturer’s request, the issues raised in the Form FDA 483 stand and FDA would expect compliance with the applicable CGMP requirements, which FDA may verify by re-inspection.
