Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request, 62405-62406 [2010-25023]

Additional Criteria and Procedures for Classifying OTC Drugs as Generally Recognized as Safe and Effective and Not Misbranded—New In the Federal Register of January 23, 2002 (67 FR 3060), we established regulations in § 330.14 (21 CFR 330.14) providing additional criteria and procedures for classifying OTC drugs as generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded (2002 TEA final rule). The regulations in § 330.14 state that OTC drug products introduced into the U.S. market after the OTC drug review began and OTC drug products without any marketing experience in the United States can be evaluated under the monograph process if the conditions (e.g., active ingredients) meet certain ‘‘time and extent’’ criteria outlined in § 330.14(b). The regulations allow a ‘‘time and extent’’ application (TEA) to be submitted to us by any party for our consideration to include new conditions in the OTC drug monograph system. TEAs must provide evidence described in § 330.14(c) demonstrating that the condition is eligible for inclusion in the monograph system. (Section 330.14(d) specifies the number of copies and address for submission of a TEA.) If a condition is found eligible, any interested parties can submit safety and effectiveness information as explained in § 330.14(f). Safety and effectiveness data include not only the data and information listed in 21 CFR 330.10(a)(2) (§ 330.14(f)(1)) but also a listing of all serious adverse drug experiences that may have occurred (§ 330.14(f)(2)) as well as an official or proposed compendial monograph (§ 330.14(i)). In the 2002 TEA final rule, we estimated that 50 TEAs would be submitted to us annually by approximately 25 respondents (67 FR 3060 at 3073). We also estimated that the time required for preparing and submitting each TEA would be approximately 480 hours. We continue to believe that a respondent will spend approximately 480 hours preparing a TEA, but we no longer expect to receive 50 TEAs annually. Since 2003, we have received a total of 16 TEAs from 12 respondents. This is equivalent to 2.3 TEAs annually from 1.7 respondents. We now estimate that we will receive 2 TEAs annually from 2 respondents (see table 1 of this document). We also estimated in the 2002 TEA final rule that we would receive three safety and effectiveness submissions for each condition found eligible for further consideration under a TEA (67 FR 3060 at 3072). We estimated that we would receive 90 submissions of safety and effectiveness data annually. And, we estimated that it would take approximately 800 hours to prepare and submit each safety and effectiveness submission. We believe that each submission, including serious adverse drug experiences and a compendial monograph, will take approximately 800 hours to complete (see table 1 of this document). However, we do not believe the estimated number of submissions is accurate. During the 8 years that have elapsed since publication of the 2002 TEA final rule, we have found 14 ingredients eligible under the TEA process and have received 16 submissions of safety and effectiveness data from 9 respondents. Therefore, we now estimate that we will receive two submissions of safety and effectiveness data annually from two respondents.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background Advances in the knowledge of genetic factors involved in health and disease have been accompanied by a rapid rise in the availability of genetic tests, including those tests that diagnose or assess the risk for disease, provide prognostic information, and guide the selection of drug therapies and dosing. Although more than 2,000 genetic tests are available, there is no public resource that provides centralized information about the availability and scientific basis of these tests. On March 18, 2010, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced its intent to develop the Genetic Testing E:\FR\FM\08OCN1.SGM 08OCN1
