Covered entities which choose to participate in the section 340B drug discount program must comply with the requirements of 340B(a)(5) of the PHS Act.

In response to the statutory mandate of section 340B(a)(5)(C) to develop audit guidelines and because of the potential for disputes involving covered entities and participating drug manufacturers, the HRSA Office of Pharmacy Affairs (OPA) developed a dispute resolution process for manufacturers and covered entities as well as manufacturer guidelines for audit of covered entities.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: May Nelson, Center for Tobacco Products, Food and Drug Administration, 9200 Corporate Blvd., Rockville, MD 20850– 3229, 240–276–1717, May.Nelson@fda.hhs.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background On June 22, 2009, the President signed the Tobacco Control Act (Public Law 111–31) into law. The Tobacco Control Act amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.) by, among other things, adding a new chapter granting FDA important new authority to regulate the manufacture, marketing, and distribution of tobacco products to protect the public health generally and to reduce tobacco use by minors. Section 904(a)(4) of the act, as amended by the Tobacco Control Act, requires each tobacco product manufacturer or importer, or agent thereof, to submit all documents developed after June 22, 2009, ‘‘* * * that relate to health, toxicological, behavioral, or physiologic effects of current or future tobacco products, their constituents (including smoke constituents), ingredients, components, and additives.’’ Information required under section 904(a)(4) of the act must be submitted to FDA beginning December 22, 2009. FDA recognizes the challenges associated with the collection, review, organization, and production of documents. We also recognize that additional time may be necessary for the production of documents in a digital format, which FDA strongly encourages in order to improve the management and accessibility of submitted documents. Therefore, FDA does not intend to enforce the December 22, 2009, deadline provided you submit by April 30, 2009, all documents described in section 904(a)(4) of the act developed between June 23, 2009, and March 31, 2010. II. Significance of Guidance FDA is issuing this draft guidance document consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when finalized, will represent the agency’s current thinking on ‘‘Tobacco Health Document Submission.’’ It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative PO 00000 Frm 00064 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 68629 approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statute and regulations. III. Comments 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 are to be identified with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. The draft guidance document and received comments may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. IV. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 This draft guidance contains proposed collections of information that are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). As required by the PRA, FDA has published an analysis of, among other information collections, the information collection concerning the submission of tobacco health documents (74 FR 45219, September 1, 2009, as corrected by 74 FR 47257, September 15, 2009) and will submit them for OMB approval. V. Electronic Access An electronic version of the guidance document is available on the Internet at https://www.regulations.gov and https:// www.fda.gov/TobaccoProducts/ GuidanceComplianceRegulatory Information/default.htm.

Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

    Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration 
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under 
review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in compliance with 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request 
a copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, e-mail 
paperwork@hrsa.gov or call the HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301) 
443-1129.
    The following request has been submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995:

Proposed Project: Drug Pricing Program Reporting Requirements (OMB No. 
0915-0176)--[Extension]

    Section 602 of Public Law 102-585, the Veterans Health Care Act of 
1992, enacted section 340B of the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) 
``Limitation on Prices of Drugs Purchased by Covered Entities.'' 
Section 340B provides that a manufacturer who sells covered outpatient 
drugs to eligible entities must sign a pharmaceutical pricing agreement 
with the Secretary of Health and Human Services in which the 
manufacturer agrees to charge a price for covered outpatient drugs that 
will not exceed an amount determined under a statutory formula. Covered 
entities which choose to participate in the section 340B drug discount 
program must comply with the requirements of 340B(a)(5) of the PHS Act. 
Section 340B(a)(5)(A) prohibits a covered entity from accepting a 
discount for a drug that would also generate a Medicaid rebate. 
Further, section 340B(a)(5)(B) prohibits a covered entity from 
reselling or otherwise transferring a discounted drug to a person who 
is not a patient of the entity.
    In response to the statutory mandate of section 340B(a)(5)(C) to 
develop audit guidelines and because of the potential for disputes 
involving covered entities and participating drug manufacturers, the 
HRSA Office of Pharmacy Affairs (OPA) developed a dispute resolution 
process for manufacturers and covered entities as well as manufacturer 
guidelines for audit of covered entities.
    The annual estimate of burden is as follows:
