Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal
Agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined in
44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c)
and includes Agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal Agencies

proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, FDA is publishing notice
of the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document.
With respect to the following
collection of information, FDA invites
comments on these topics: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of FDA’s functions, including whether
the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques,
when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology.

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 14 / Friday, January 21, 2011 / Notices
Orphan Drugs; Common EMA/FDA
Application Form for Orphan
Medicinal Product Designation (Form
FDA 3671)—21 CFR Part 316 (OMB
Control Number 0910–0167)—Extension
Sections 525 through 528 of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360aa through
360dd) give FDA statutory authority to
do the following: (1) Provide
recommendations on investigations
required for approval of marketing
applications for orphan drugs, (2)
designate eligible drugs as orphan
drugs, (3) set forth conditions under
which a sponsor of an approved orphan
drug obtains exclusive approval, and (4)
encourage sponsors to make orphan
drugs available for treatment on an
‘‘open protocol’’ basis before the drug
has been approved for general
marketing. The implementing
regulations for these statutory
requirements have been codified under
part 316 (21 CFR part 316) and specify
procedures that sponsors of orphan
drugs use in availing themselves of the
incentives provided for orphan drugs in
the FD&C Act and sets forth procedures
FDA will use in administering the FD&C
Act with regard to orphan drugs.
Section 316.10 specifies the content and
format of a request for written
recommendations concerning the nonclinical laboratory studies and clinical
investigations necessary for approval of
marketing applications. Section 316.12
provides that, before providing such
recommendations, FDA may require
results of studies to be submitted for
review. Section 316.14 contains
provisions permitting FDA to refuse to
provide written recommendations under
certain circumstances. Within 90 days
of any refusal, a sponsor may submit
additional information specified by
FDA. Based on past experience, FDA
estimates that there will be two
respondents to §§ 316.10, 316.12, and
316.14 requiring 200 hours of human
resources annually.
Section 316.20 specifies the content
and format of an orphan drug
application which includes
requirements that an applicant
document that the disease is rare (affects
fewer than 200,000 persons in the
United States annually) or that the
sponsor of the drug has no reasonable
expectation of recovering costs of
research and development of the drug.
Section 316.21 specifies content of a
request for orphan drug designation
required for verification of orphan-drug
status. Section 316.26 allows an
applicant to amend the applications
under certain circumstances. The
Common EMA/FDA Application Form
for Orphan Medicinal Product
Designation (form FDA 3671) is
intended to benefit sponsors who desire
to seek orphan designation of drugs
intended for rare diseases or conditions
from both the European Commission
and FDA by reducing the burden of
preparing separate applications to meet
the regulatory requirements in each
jurisdiction. It highlights the regulatory
cooperation between the United States
(U.S.) and the European Union (EU)
mandated by the Transatlantic
Economic Council (TEC). FDA does not
believe the new form will result in any
increased burden on the respondents
and therefore we estimate no additional
burden. Based on past experience, FDA
estimates there will be 214 respondents
requiring 64,200 hours of human
resources annually. Section 316.22
specifies requirement of a permanent
resident agent for foreign sponsors.
Based on past experience, FDA
estimates 55 respondents requiring 110
hours of human resources annually.
Section 316.27 specifies content of a
change in ownership of orphan-drug
designation. Based on past experience,
FDA estimates 43 respondents requiring
215 hours of human resources annually.
Section 316.30 requires submission of
annual reports, including progress
reports on studies, a description of the
investigational plan, and a discussion of
changes that may affect orphan status.
Based on number of orphan-drug
designations, the number of respondents
is estimated as 1,652 requiring 4,956
hours of human resources annually.
Finally, § 316.36 describes information
required of sponsor when there is
insufficient quantity of approved
orphan drug. Based on past experience,
FDA estimates one respondent requiring
45 hours of human resources annually.
The information requested will
provide the basis for an FDA
determination that the drug is for a rare
disease or condition and satisfies the
requirements for obtaining orphan drug
status. Secondly, the information will
describe the medical and regulatory
history of the drug. The respondents to
this collection of information are
biotechnology firms, drug companies,
and academic clinical researchers.
FDA estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including

Orphan Drugs; Common EMA/FDA Application Form for Orphan Medicinal
Product Designation (Form FDA 3671)--21 CFR Part 316 (OMB Control
Number 0910-0167)--Extension
Sections 525 through 528 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360aa through 360dd) give FDA statutory
authority to do the following: (1) Provide recommendations on
investigations required for approval of marketing applications for
orphan drugs, (2) designate eligible drugs as orphan drugs, (3) set
forth conditions under which a sponsor of an approved orphan drug
obtains exclusive approval, and (4) encourage sponsors to make orphan
drugs available for treatment on an ``open protocol'' basis before the
drug has been approved for general marketing. The implementing
regulations for these statutory requirements have been codified under
part 316 (21 CFR part 316) and specify procedures that sponsors of
orphan drugs use in availing themselves of the incentives provided for
orphan drugs in the FD&C Act and sets forth procedures FDA will use in
administering the FD&C Act with regard to orphan drugs. Section 316.10
specifies the content and format of a request for written
recommendations concerning the non-clinical laboratory studies and
clinical investigations necessary for approval of marketing
applications. Section 316.12 provides that, before providing such
recommendations, FDA may require results of studies to be submitted for
review. Section 316.14 contains provisions permitting FDA to refuse to
provide written recommendations under certain circumstances. Within 90
days of any refusal, a sponsor may submit additional information
specified by FDA. Based on past experience, FDA estimates that there
will be two respondents to Sec. Sec. 316.10, 316.12, and 316.14
requiring 200 hours of human resources annually.
Section 316.20 specifies the content and format of an orphan drug
application which includes requirements that an applicant document that
the disease is rare (affects fewer than 200,000 persons in the United
States annually) or that the sponsor of the drug has no reasonable
expectation of recovering costs of research and development of the
drug. Section 316.21 specifies content of a request for orphan drug
designation required for verification of orphan-drug status. Section
316.26 allows an applicant to amend the applications under certain
circumstances. The Common EMA/FDA Application Form for Orphan Medicinal
Product Designation (form FDA 3671) is intended to benefit sponsors who
desire to seek orphan designation of drugs intended for rare diseases
or conditions from both the European Commission and FDA by reducing the
burden of preparing separate applications to meet the regulatory
requirements in each jurisdiction. It highlights the regulatory
cooperation between the United States (U.S.) and the European Union
(EU) mandated by the Transatlantic Economic Council (TEC). FDA does not
believe the new form will result in any increased burden on the
respondents and therefore we estimate no additional burden. Based on
past experience, FDA estimates there will be 214 respondents requiring
64,200 hours of human resources annually. Section 316.22 specifies
requirement of a permanent resident agent for foreign sponsors. Based
on past experience, FDA estimates 55 respondents requiring 110 hours of
human resources annually. Section 316.27 specifies content of a change
in ownership of orphan-drug designation. Based on past experience, FDA
estimates 43 respondents requiring 215 hours of human resources
annually. Section 316.30 requires submission of annual reports,
including progress reports on studies, a description of the
investigational plan, and a discussion of changes that may affect
orphan status. Based on number of orphan-drug designations, the number
of respondents is estimated as 1,652 requiring 4,956 hours of human
resources annually. Finally, Sec. 316.36 describes information
required of sponsor when there is insufficient quantity of approved
orphan drug. Based on past experience, FDA estimates one respondent
requiring 45 hours of human resources annually.
