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. Guidance for Industry on Postmarketing Adverse Event Reporting for Nonprescription Human Drug Products Marketed Without an Approved Application Public Law 109–462, the Dietary Supplement and Nonprescription Drug Consumer Protection Act, amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) to add safety reporting requirements for nonprescription drug products that are marketed without an approved application. In accordance with section 760(b) of the act (21 U.S.C. 379aa), the manufacturer, packer, or distributor whose name appears on the label of a nonprescription drug marketed in the United States without an approved application (referred to as the responsible person) must submit to FDA any report of a serious adverse event associated with such drug when used in the United States, accompanied by a copy of the label on or within the retail package of such drug. In addition, the responsible person must submit followup reports of new medical information related to a submitted serious adverse event report that is received within 1 year of the initial report (section 760(c)(2) of the act). Section 760(e) of the act also requires that responsible persons maintain records of nonprescription drug adverse event reports, whether or not the event PO 00000 Frm 00064 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 53251 is serious, for a period of 6 years. The guidance document provides information on: (1) The minimum data elements that should be included in a serious adverse event report, (2) the label that should be included with the report, (3) reporting formats for paper and electronic submissions, and (4) how and where to submit the reports. Title: Guidance for Industry on Postmarketing Adverse Event Reporting for Nonprescription Human Drug Products Marketed Without an Approved Application. Description of Respondents: Respondents to this collection of information are manufacturers, packers, or distributors whose name appears on the label of a nonprescription drug marketed in the United States without an approved application. Burden Estimate: FDA is requesting public comment on estimates of the number of annual submissions from these respondents and recordkeeping, as required by Public Law 109–462 and described in the guidance ‘‘Postmarketing Adverse Event Reporting for Nonprescription Human Drug Products Marketed Without an Approved Application.’’ The estimates for annual reporting and recordkeeping are based on FDA’s knowledge of adverse drug experience reports historically submitted annually for prescription drug products and for nonprescription drug products marketed under an approved application, including knowledge about the time needed to prepare the reports and to maintain records. FDA receives approximately 2,500 serious adverse event reports for nonprescription drug products marketed under approved applications, which comprise approximately 20 percent of the overall nonprescription drug market. Based on this data, we estimate between 10,000 and 15,000 (i.e., 12,500) total annual responses from approximately 50 respondents for nonprescription drugs marketed without an approved application, and that each submission will take approximately 2 hours to prepare and submit to FDA. In the Federal Register of October 15, 2007 (72 FR 58316), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the information collection provisions. No comments were received on the information collection. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: E:\FR\FM\15SEN1.SGM 15SEN1 53252 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 179 / Monday, September 15, 2008 / Notices TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN1 No. of Respondents Reports of serious adverse drug events (21 U.S.C. 379aa((b) and (c)) Annual Frequency per Response 50 Total Annual Responses 250 Hours Per Response 12,500 Total Hours 2 Total 25,000 25,000 1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. The guidance also recommends that responsible persons maintain records of efforts to obtain the minimum data elements for a report of a serious adverse drug event and any followup reports. Although the guidance document does not provide recommendations on all the recordkeeping activities required under section 760(e) of the act, we are providing an estimate for this burden. Historically, serious adverse event reports comprise approximately twothirds, and nonserious adverse event reports comprise approximately onethird, of the total number of postmarketing adverse event reports associated with drugs and biologic therapeutics (except vaccines) received by FDA. Based on this generalization, we estimate the total annual records to be approximately 20,000 records per year, and the number of respondents to be approximately 200. We also estimate that it takes approximately 5 hours to maintain each record.

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.

Guidance for Industry on Postmarketing Adverse Event Reporting for 
Nonprescription Human Drug Products Marketed Without an Approved 
Application

    Public Law 109-462, the Dietary Supplement and Nonprescription Drug 
Consumer Protection Act, amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 
Act (the act) to add safety reporting requirements for nonprescription 
drug products that are marketed without an approved application. In 
accordance with section 760(b) of the act (21 U.S.C. 379aa), the 
manufacturer, packer, or distributor whose name appears on the label of 
a nonprescription drug marketed in the United States without an 
approved application (referred to as the responsible person) must 
submit to FDA any report of a serious adverse event associated with 
such drug when used in the United States, accompanied by a copy of the 
label on or within the retail package of such drug. In addition, the 
responsible person must submit followup reports of new medical 
information related to a submitted serious adverse event report that is 
received within 1 year of the initial report (section 760(c)(2) of the 
act). Section 760(e) of the act also requires that responsible persons 
maintain records of nonprescription drug adverse event reports, whether 
or not the event is serious, for a period of 6 years. The guidance 
document provides information on: (1) The minimum data elements that 
should be included in a serious adverse event report, (2) the label 
that should be included with the report, (3) reporting formats for 
paper and electronic submissions, and (4) how and where to submit the 
reports.
    Title: Guidance for Industry on Postmarketing Adverse Event 
Reporting for Nonprescription Human Drug Products Marketed Without an 
Approved Application.
    Description of Respondents: Respondents to this collection of 
information are manufacturers, packers, or distributors whose name 
appears on the label of a nonprescription drug marketed in the United 
States without an approved application.
    Burden Estimate: FDA is requesting public comment on estimates of 
the number of annual submissions from these respondents and 
recordkeeping, as required by Public Law 109-462 and described in the 
guidance ``Postmarketing Adverse Event Reporting for Nonprescription 
Human Drug Products Marketed Without an Approved Application.'' The 
estimates for annual reporting and recordkeeping are based on FDA's 
knowledge of adverse drug experience reports historically submitted 
annually for prescription drug products and for nonprescription drug 
products marketed under an approved application, including knowledge 
about the time needed to prepare the reports and to maintain records.
    FDA receives approximately 2,500 serious adverse event reports for 
nonprescription drug products marketed under approved applications, 
which comprise approximately 20 percent of the overall nonprescription 
drug market. Based on this data, we estimate between 10,000 and 15,000 
(i.e., 12,500) total annual responses from approximately 50 respondents 
for nonprescription drugs marketed without an approved application, and 
that each submission will take approximately 2 hours to prepare and 
submit to FDA.
    In the Federal Register of October 15, 2007 (72 FR 58316), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the information 
collection provisions. No comments were received on the information 
collection.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

  information.

    The guidance also recommends that responsible persons maintain 
records of efforts to obtain the minimum data elements for a report of 
a serious adverse drug event and any followup reports. Although the 
guidance document does not provide recommendations on all the 
recordkeeping activities required under section 760(e) of the act, we 
are providing an estimate for this burden. Historically, serious 
adverse event reports comprise approximately two-thirds, and nonserious 
adverse event reports comprise approximately one-third, of the total 
number of postmarketing adverse event reports associated with drugs and 
biologic therapeutics (except vaccines) received by FDA. Based on this 
generalization, we estimate the total annual records to be 
approximately 20,000 records per year, and the number of respondents to 
be approximately 200. We also estimate that it takes approximately 5 
hours to maintain each record.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of
  information.

    Therefore, the estimated annual reporting burden for this 
information collection is 25,000 hours and the estimated annual 
recordkeeping burden is 100,000 hours.
