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.

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. ADDRESSES: Additional Criteria and Procedures for Classifying Over-the-Counter Drugs as Generally Recognized as Safe and Effective and Not Misbranded—(OMB Control Number 0910—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 over-thecounter (OTC) drugs as generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded (2002 time and extent application (TEA) final rule). The regulations in § 330.14 state that OTC PO 00000 Frm 00046 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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 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 Federal Register of October 8, 2010 (75 FR 62404), we published a 60day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. In that notice, we stated that we considered our estimate, in the 2002 TEA final rule, of 480 hours to prepare a TEA and 800 hours to prepare and submit safety and effectiveness data to continue to be valid (75 FR 62404 at 62405). In the same document, we stated that, based on the number of submissions we had received in the 8 years following publication of the TEA final rule, we expected to receive an E:\FR\FM\08FEN1.SGM 08FEN1

perceptions and use of drug and biological products and related 
materials, including, but not limited to, direct-to-consumer 
prescription drug promotion, physician labeling of prescription drugs, 
Medication Guides, over-the-counter drug labeling, emerging risk

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 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.

Data to Support Drug Products Communications, as Used by the Food and 
Drug Administration (OMB Control Number 0910-New)

    Testing of communication messages in advance of a communication 
campaign provides an important role in improving FDA communications as 
they allow for an in-depth understanding of individuals' attitudes, 
beliefs, motivations, and feelings. The methods to be employed include 
individual in-depth interviews, general public focus group interviews, 
intercept interviews, self-administered surveys, gatekeeper surveys, 
and professional clinician focus group interviews. The methods to be 
used serve the narrowly defined need for direct and informal opinion on 
a

specific topic and as a qualitative research tool have two major 
purposes:
     To obtain information that is useful for developing 
variables and measures for formulating the basic objectives of risk 
communication campaigns, and
     To assess the potential effectiveness of messages and 
materials in reaching and successfully communicating with their 
intended audiences.
    FDA will use these methods to test and refine its ideas and to help 
develop messages and other communications, but will generally conduct 
further research before making important decisions such as adopting new 
policies and allocating or redirecting significant resources to support 
these policies.
    FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Center for Biologics 
Evaluation and Research, Office of the Commissioner, and any other 
Centers or Offices will use this mechanism to test messages about 
regulated drug products on a variety of subjects related to consumer, 
patient, or health care professional perceptions and about use of drug 
products and related materials, including but not limited to, direct-
to-consumer prescription drug promotion, physician labeling of 
prescription drugs, Medication Guides, over-the-counter drug labeling, 
emerging risk communications, patient labeling, online sale of medical 
products, and consumer and professional education.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

    Annually, FDA projects about 45 communication studies using the

requesting this burden so as not to restrict the Agency's ability to 
gather information on public sentiment for its proposals in its 
regulatory and communications programs.
