The collection of information for review of Federal payments to States for foster care maintenance payments (45 CFR 1356.71(i)) is authorized by title IV–E of the Social Security Act (the Act), section 474 [42 U.S.C. 674]. The Foster Care Eligibility Reviews (FCER) ensure that States claim title IV–E funds only on behalf of title IV–E eligible children. The collection of information for review of State child and family services programs (45 CFR 1355.33(b), 1355.33(c) and 1355.35(a)) is to determine whether such programs are in substantial conformity with State plan requirements under parts B and E of the Act and is authorized by section 1123(a) [42 U.S.C 1320a–1a] of the Act. The CFSR looks at the outcomes related to safety, permanency and well-being of children served by the child welfare system and at seven systemic factors that support the outcomes. Section 474(d) of the Act [42 U.S.C 674] deploys enforcement provisions (45 CFR 1355.38(b) and (c)) for the requirements at section 4371(a)(18) [42 U.S.C 671], which prohibit the delay or denial of foster and adoptive placements based on the race, color, or national origin of any of the individuals involved. The enforcement provisions include the execution and completion of corrective action plans when a State is in violation of section 471(a)(18) of the Act. The information collection is needed: (1) To ensure compliance with title IV–E foster care eligibility requirements; (2) to monitor State plan requirements under titles IV– B and IV–E of the Act, as required by Federal statute; and (3) to enforce the title IV–E anti-discrimination requirements through State corrective action plans. The resultant information will allow ACF to determine if States are in compliance with State plan requirements and are achieving desired outcomes for children and families, help ensure that claims by States for title IV– E funds are made only on behalf of title IV–E eligible children, and require States to revise applicable statutes, rules, policies and procedures, and provide proper training to staff, through the development and implementation of corrective action plans. These reviews not only address compliance with eligibility requirements but also assist States in enhancing the capacities to serve children and families. In computing the number of burden hours for this information collection, ACF based the annual burden estimates on ACF’s and States’ experiences in conducting reviews and developing program improvement plans. Respondents: State Title IV–B and Title IV–E Agencies.

E:\FR\FM\08MYN1.SGM 08MYN1 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 88 / Friday, May 8, 2009 / Notices In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Investigational New Drug Regulations— OMB Control Number 0910–0014— Extension FDA is requesting OMB approval for the reporting and recordkeeping requirements contained in the FDA regulations ‘‘Investigational New Drug Application’’ in part 312 (21 CFR part 312). Part 312 implements provisions of section 505(i) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355(i)) (the act) to issue regulations under which the clinical investigation of the safety and effectiveness of unapproved new drugs and biological products can be conducted. FDA is charged with implementing statutory requirements that drug products marketed in the United States be shown to be safe and effective, properly manufactured, and properly labeled for their intended uses. Section 505(a) of the act provides that a new drug may not be introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce in the United States unless FDA has previously approved a new drug application (NDA). FDA approves an NDA only if the sponsor of the application first demonstrates that the drug is safe and effective for the conditions prescribed, recommended, or suggested in the product’s labeling. Proof must consist, in part, of adequate and well-controlled studies, including studies in humans, that are conducted by qualified experts. The IND regulations establish reporting requirements that include an initial application as well as amendments to that application, reports on significant revisions of clinical investigation plans, and information on a drug’s safety or effectiveness. In addition, the sponsor is required to give FDA an annual summary of the previous year’s clinical experience. Submissions are reviewed by medical officers and other agency scientific reviewers assigned responsibility for overseeing the specific study. The IND regulations also contain recordkeeping requirements that pertain to the responsibilities of sponsors and investigators. The detail and complexity of these requirements are dictated by the scientific procedures and human subject safeguards that must be followed in the clinical tests of investigational new drugs. The IND information collection requirements provide the means by which FDA can do the following: (1) Monitor the safety of ongoing clinical investigations; (2) determine whether the clinical testing of a drug should be authorized; (3) ensure production of reliable data on the metabolism and pharmacological action of the drug in humans; (4) obtain timely information on adverse reactions to the drug; (5) obtain information on side effects associated with increasing doses; (6) obtain information on the drug’s effectiveness; (7) ensure the design of well-controlled, scientifically valid studies; (8) obtain other information pertinent to determining whether clinical testing should be continued and information related to the protection of human subjects. Without the information provided by industry in response to the IND regulations, FDA cannot authorize or monitor the clinical investigations which must be conducted 21691 prior to authorizing the sale and general use of new drugs. These reports enable FDA to monitor a study’s progress, to assure subject safety, to assure that a study will be conducted ethically, and to increase the likelihood that the sponsor will conduct studies that will be useful in determining whether the drug should be marketed and available for use in medical practice. There are two forms that are required under part 312: Form FDA–1571—‘‘Investigational New Drug Application.’’ A person who intends to conduct a clinical investigation submits this form to FDA. It includes the following information: (1) A cover sheet containing background information on the sponsor and investigator, (2) a table of contents, (3) an introductory statement and general investigational plan, (4) an investigator’s brochure describing the drug substance, (5) a protocol for each planned study, (6) chemistry, manufacturing, and control information for each investigation, (7) pharmacology and toxicology information for each investigation, and (8) previous human experience with the investigational drug. The second form is Form FDA–1572— ‘‘Investigator Statement.’’ Before permitting an investigator to begin participation in an investigation, the sponsor must obtain and record this form. It includes background information on the investigator and the investigation, and a general outline of the planned investigation and the study protocol. FDA is requesting OMB approval for the following reporting and recordkeeping requirements in part 312: TABLE 1.—REPORTING AND RECORDKEEPING REQUIREMENTS IN 21 CFR PART 312 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS 21 CFR Section . 312.7(d) .................................. . 312.8 ...................................... 312.10 .................................... hsrobinson on PROD1PC76 with NOTICES . 312.20(c) ................................ . 312.23 ....................................

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Beverly Friedman, Office of Regulatory Policy, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 51, rm. 6222, Silver Spring, MD 20993– 0002, 301–796–3602. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (Public Law 98– 417) and the Generic Animal Drug and Patent Term Restoration Act (Public Law 100–670) generally provide that a patent may be extended for a period of up to 5 years so long as the patented VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:51 May 07, 2009 Jkt 217001 item (human drug product, animal drug product, medical device, food additive, or color additive) was subject to regulatory review by FDA before the item was marketed. Under these acts, a product’s regulatory review period forms the basis for determining the amount of extension an applicant may receive. A regulatory review period consists of two periods of time: A testing phase and an approval phase. For human drug products, the testing phase begins when the exemption to permit the clinical investigations of the human drug product becomes effective and runs until the approval phase begins. The approval phase starts with the initial submission of an application to market the human drug product and continues until FDA grants permission to market the drug product. Although only a portion of a regulatory review period may count toward the actual amount of extension that the Director of Patents and Trademarks may award (for example, half the testing phase must be subtracted as well as any time that may have occurred before the patent was issued), FDA’s determination of the length of a regulatory review period for a human drug product will include all of the testing phase and approval phase as specified in 35 U.S.C. 156(g)(1)(B). FDA recently approved for marketing the human drug product NEUPRO TRANSDERMAL SYSTEM (rotigotine). NEUPRO TRANSDERMAL SYSTEM is indicated for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of early-stage idiopathic Parkinson’s disease. Subsequent to this approval, the Patent and Trademark Office received a patent term restoration application for NEUPRO TRANSDERMAL SYSTEM (U.S. Patent No. 6,884,434) from Schwarz Pharma Limited, and the Patent and Trademark Office requested FDA’s assistance in determining this patent’s eligibility for patent term restoration. In a letter dated April 28, 2008, FDA advised the Patent and Trademark Office that this human drug product had undergone a regulatory review period and that the approval of NEUPRO TRANSDERMAL SYSTEM represented the first permitted commercial marketing or use of the product. Shortly thereafter, the Patent and Trademark Office requested that FDA determine the product’s regulatory review period. FDA has determined that the applicable regulatory review period for NEUPRO TRANSDERMAL SYSTEM is 4,367 days. Of this time, 3,535 days occurred during the testing phase of the regulatory review period, while 832 days occurred during the approval PO 00000 Frm 00078 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 phase. These periods of time were derived from the following dates: 1. The date an exemption under section 505(i) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 355(i)) became effective: May 27, 1995. FDA has verified the applicant’s claim that the date the investigational new drug application became effective was on May 27, 1995. 2. The date the application was initially submitted with respect to the human drug product under section 505(b) of the act: January 28, 2005. The applicant claims January 19, 2005, as the date the new drug application (NDA) for NEUPRO TRANSDERMAL SYSTEM (NDA 21–829) was initially submitted. However, FDA records indicate that NDA 21–829 was initially submitted on January 28, 2005, the date of receipt by the Agency of a resubmission following a refusal to file. 3. The date the application was approved: May 9, 2007. FDA has verified the applicant’s claim that NDA 21–829 was approved on May 9, 2007. This determination of the regulatory review period establishes the maximum potential length of a patent extension. However, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office applies several statutory limitations in its calculations of the actual period for patent extension. In its application for patent extension, this applicant seeks 744 days of patent term extension. Anyone with knowledge that any of the dates as published are incorrect may submit to the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES) written or electronic comments and ask for a redetermination by July 7, 2009. Furthermore, any interested person may petition FDA for a determination regarding whether the applicant for extension acted with due diligence during the regulatory review period by November 4, 2009. To meet its burden, the petition must contain sufficient facts to merit an FDA investigation. (See H. Rept. 857, part 1, 98th Cong., 2d sess., pp. 41–42, 1984.) Petitions should be in the format specified in 21 CFR 10.30. Comments and petitions should be submitted to the Division of Dockets Management. Three copies of any mailed information are to be submitted, except that individuals may submit one copy. Comments are to be identified with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. Comments and petitions may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. E:\FR\FM\08MYN1.SGM 08MYN1

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.

Investigational New Drug Regulations--OMB Control Number 0910-0014--
Extension

    FDA is requesting OMB approval for the reporting and recordkeeping 
requirements contained in the FDA regulations ``Investigational New 
Drug Application'' in part 312 (21 CFR part 312). Part 312 implements 
provisions of section 505(i) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 
Act (21 U.S.C. 355(i)) (the act) to issue regulations under which the 
clinical investigation of the safety and effectiveness of unapproved 
new drugs and biological products can be conducted.
    FDA is charged with implementing statutory requirements that drug 
products marketed in the United States be shown to be safe and 
effective, properly manufactured, and properly labeled for their 
intended uses. Section 505(a) of the act provides that a new drug may 
not be introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate 
commerce in the United States unless FDA has previously approved a new 
drug application (NDA). FDA approves an NDA only if the sponsor of the 
application first demonstrates that the drug is safe and effective for 
the conditions prescribed, recommended, or suggested in the product's 
labeling. Proof must consist, in part, of adequate and well-controlled 
studies, including studies in humans, that are conducted by qualified 
experts. The IND regulations establish reporting requirements that 
include an initial application as well as amendments to that 
application, reports on significant revisions of clinical investigation 
plans, and information on a drug's safety or effectiveness. In 
addition, the sponsor is required to give FDA an annual summary of the 
previous year's clinical experience. Submissions are reviewed by 
medical officers and other agency scientific reviewers assigned 
responsibility for overseeing the specific study. The IND regulations 
also contain recordkeeping requirements that pertain to the 
responsibilities of sponsors and investigators. The detail and 
complexity of these requirements are dictated by the scientific 
procedures and human subject safeguards that must be followed in the 
clinical tests of investigational new drugs.
    The IND information collection requirements provide the means by 
which FDA can do the following: (1) Monitor the safety of ongoing 
clinical investigations; (2) determine whether the clinical testing of 
a drug should be authorized; (3) ensure production of reliable data on 
the metabolism and pharmacological action of the drug in humans; (4) 
obtain timely information on adverse reactions to the drug; (5) obtain 
information on side effects associated with increasing doses; (6) 
obtain information on the drug's effectiveness; (7) ensure the design 
of well-controlled, scientifically valid studies; (8) obtain other 
information pertinent to determining whether clinical testing should be 
continued and information related to the protection of human subjects. 
Without the information provided by industry in response to the IND 
regulations, FDA cannot authorize or monitor the clinical 
investigations which must be conducted prior to authorizing the sale 
and general use of new drugs. These reports enable FDA to monitor a 
study's progress, to assure subject safety, to assure that a study will 
be conducted ethically, and to increase the likelihood that the sponsor 
will conduct studies that will be useful in determining whether the 
drug should be marketed and available for use in medical practice.
    There are two forms that are required under part 312:
    Form FDA-1571--``Investigational New Drug Application.'' A person 
who intends to conduct a clinical investigation submits this form to 
FDA. It includes the following information: (1) A cover sheet 
containing background information on the sponsor and investigator, (2) 
a table of contents, (3) an introductory statement and general 
investigational plan, (4) an investigator's brochure describing the 
drug substance, (5) a protocol for each planned study, (6) chemistry, 
manufacturing, and control information for each investigation, (7) 
pharmacology and toxicology information for each investigation, and (8) 
previous human experience with the investigational drug.
    The second form is Form FDA-1572--``Investigator Statement.'' 
Before permitting an investigator to begin participation in an 
investigation, the sponsor must obtain and record this form. It 
includes background information on the investigator and the 
investigation, and a general outline of the planned investigation and 
the study protocol.
    FDA is requesting OMB approval for the following reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements in part 312:

    In the Federal Register of February 11, 2009 (74 FR 6889), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the information 
collection provisions. No comments were received.
    In tables 2 and 3 of this document, the estimates for ``No. of 
Respondents,'' ``No. of Responses per Respondent,'' and ``Total Annual 
Responses'' were obtained from the Center for Drug Evaluation and 
Research (CDER) and the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research 
(CBER) reports and data management systems for submissions received in 
2007 and from other sources familiar with the number of submissions 
received under 21 CFR part 312. The estimates for ``Hours per 
Response'' were made by CDER and CBER individuals familiar with the 
burden associated with these reports and from estimates received from 
the pharmaceutical industry.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:
