In accordance with section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C., Appendix 2), announcement is made of a Health Care Policy and Research Special Emphasis Panel (SEP) meeting., 31449-31450 [2010-13109]

Download as PDF 31449 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 106 / Thursday, June 3, 2010 / Notices regulations governing requirements for human drug products to establish standardized format and content requirements for the labeling of all marketed OTC drug products in part 201 (21 CFR part 201) (the 1999 labeling final rule). The regulations in part 201 require OTC drug product labeling to include uniform headings and subheadings, presented in a standardized order, with minimum standards for type size and other graphical features. Specifically, the 1999 labeling final rule added new § 201.66 to part 201. Section 201.66 sets content and format requirements for the Drug Facts portion of labels on OTC drug products. The only burden to comply with the regulations in part 201 is a one-time burden for OTC sunscreen products and new OTC drug products introduced to the marketplace under new drug applications (NDAs) or abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs). All OTC drug products except sunscreens and new OTC products marketed under NDAs or ANDAs are already required to be in compliance with these labeling regulations. On June 20, 2000 (65 FR 38191), we published a Federal Register document that required all OTC drug products marketed under the OTC monograph system except sunscreen products to comply with the regulations by May 16, 2005, or sooner (65 FR 38191 at 38193). Sunscreen products do not have to comply with the regulations until we lift the stay of the sunscreen final rule that was published in the Federal Register on May 21, 1999 (64 FR 27666) (the 1999 sunscreen final rule). In the Federal Register of December 31, 2001 (66 FR 67485), we stayed the 1999 sunscreen final rule indefinitely. In the Federal Register of September 3, 2004 (69 FR 53801), we delayed the § 201.66 implementation date for OTC sunscreen products indefinitely. Because the compliance date has passed for all OTC drug products except sunscreens and drug products introduced under new NDAs or ANDAs, we believe that the labeling burden associated with the 1999 labeling final rule applies only to these products. We do not anticipate receiving any requests for exemptions or deferrals under § 201.66(e) because we have only received one request in the past 8 years. We estimate that there are 4,750 OTC sunscreen drug product stock keeping units (SKUs) that have not yet complied with the 1999 labeling final rule. All of these SKUs will need to implement the new labeling format by the implementation date included in the 1999 sunscreen final rule when it is published in the Federal Register. We estimate that these 4,750 SKUs are marketed by 400 manufacturers and that approximately 2 hours will be spent on each submission (see table 1 of this document). The number of hours per submission (response) is based on our estimate in the 1999 labeling final rule (64 FR 13254 at 13276). If an average of 2 hours is spent preparing, completing, and reviewing each of the estimated 4,750 sunscreen SKUs, the total number of hours dedicated to the labeling of sunscreen products would be 9,500 hours (4,750 SKUs times 2 hours/SKU) (see table 1 of this document). Based on estimates provided by the Consumer Healthcare Products Association, we believe that approximately 500 new OTC drug product SKUs marketed under NDAs or ANDAs are introduced to the marketplace each year. We estimate that these SKUs are marketed by 300 manufacturers. We estimate that the preparation of labeling for new NDAs and ANDAs will require 5 hours to prepare, complete, and review new labeling prior to submitting the new labeling to us. Based on this estimate, the annual reporting burden for this type of labeling is approximately 2,500 hours (see table 1 of this document). FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1.—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN1 No. of Respondents 21 CFR Section Annual Frequency per Response Total Annual Responses Hours per Response Total Hours 201.66(c) and (d)2 400 11.88 4,750 2 9,500 201.66(c) and (d)3 300 1.67 500 5 2,500 Total 12,000 1 FDA estimates that capital costs of 22 to 25 million dollars will result from preparing labeling content and format in accordance with § 201.66. There are no operating or maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. 2 Burden for manufacturers of sunscreen drug product. 3 Burden for manufacturers of products marketed under new NDAs or ANDAs.
