Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request, 71578-71579 [2011-29830]

Download as PDF mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 71578 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 223 / Friday, November 18, 2011 / Notices will be required as part of a REMS. Under section 505–1(e) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 355–1(e)), FDA may require that a REMS for a drug include one or more of the elements described in section 505–1(e), including the requirement for an applicant to develop a Medication Guide for distribution to each patient when the drug is dispensed (when the criteria in part 208 (21 CFR part 208) are met). Since the enactment of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007, FDA has, as a matter of policy, considered any new Medication Guide (or safety-related changes to an existing Medication Guide) to be part of a REMS. However, the Agency has the authority to determine, based on the risks of a drug and public health concern, how a Medication Guide should be required when the standard in part 208 is met. Based on the risks and public health concern, the Agency may require: (1) A Medication Guide in accordance with part 208 that is not an element of a REMS or (2) A Medication Guide in accordance with part 208 and section 505–1 of the FD&C Act that is an element of a REMS, which may include other elements of a REMS (such as elements to assure safe use). In the Federal Register of February 28, 2011 (76 FR 10908), FDA announced the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled ‘‘Medication Guides— Distribution Requirements and Inclusion in Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS).’’ The notice gave interested parties the opportunity to comment by May 31, 2011. The Agency considered all of the comments received and made minor editorial and clarifying changes to the guidance. This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the Agency’s current thinking on when FDA intends to exercise enforcement discretion regarding Medication Guide distribution and inclusion of Medication Guides in REMS. 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 approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. II. Comments Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES) either electronic or written comments regarding this document. It is only necessary to send one set of comments. It is no longer necessary to VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:44 Nov 17, 2011 Jkt 226001 send two copies of mailed comments. Identify comments with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. Received comments may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. III. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 This guidance refers to previously approved collections of information found in FDA regulations. These collections of information are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501– 3520). The collections of information in 21 CFR 314.70 and 601.12 have been approved under OMB control numbers 0910–0001 and 0910–0338, respectively; the collections of information in part 208 have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0393.

Two key missions of the DoT are (1) to provide oversight for the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network and policy development related to organ donation and transplantation and (2) to implement efforts to increase public knowledge about the need for increased organ donation. With a constantly growing deficit between the number of Americans needing donor organs (currently approximately 112,000) and the annual number of donors (14,505 in 2010), raising the American public’s willingness to donate becomes increasingly critical. Effective education and outreach campaigns need to be based on knowledge of the public’s attitudes and perceptions about, and perceived impediments to, organ donation. Two national surveys using nearly identical survey instruments to identify public views and behaviors related to organ donation were conducted in 1993 and 2005. The proposed study will identify current organ donation views and practices of the American public and various population subgroups using a survey instrument similar to the two earlier studies in order to track changes over time. It will measure issues such as public knowledge about and attitudes toward organ donation, public commitment to or willingness to donate, impediments to public willingness to donate, and attitudes toward living donation, donation practices, policy issues, allocation policy, presumed consent, and financial incentives for donation. Demographic information also will be collected. The randomly drawn sample will consist of 3,250 adults (age 18 and over), including an oversample of Asians, Hispanics, African Americans, and Native Americans, and will be geographically representative of the United States. The survey instrument will be administered in both English and Spanish through computerassisted telephone interviews.

are (1) to provide oversight for the Organ Procurement and 
Transplantation Network and policy development related to organ 
donation and transplantation and (2) to implement efforts to increase 
public knowledge about the need for increased organ donation.

needing donor organs (currently approximately 112,000) and the annual 
number of donors (14,505 in 2010), raising the American public's 
willingness to donate becomes increasingly critical. Effective

such a survey to gather information to inform both public education 
efforts and policy decisions on the issue of organ donation.
