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 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. Guidance for Industry on Postmarketing Adverse Event Reporting for Nonprescription Human Drug Products Marketed Without an Approved Application—(OMB Control Number 0910–0636)—Extension Respondents to this collection of information are manufacturers, packers, and distributors whose name (under E:\FR\FM\27DEN1.SGM 27DEN1 80947 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 248 / Tuesday, December 27, 2011 / Notices section 502(b)(1) (21 U.S.C. 352(b)(1)) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act)) appears on the label of a nonprescription drug marketed in the United States. FDA is requesting public comment on estimates of annual submissions from these respondents, as required by the Dietary Supplement and Nonprescription Drug Consumer Protection Act (Public Law 109–462) and described in the guidance. This guidance document discusses what should be included in a serious adverse drug event report submitted under section 760(b)(1) (21 U.S.C. 379aa(b)(1)) of the FD&C Act, including followup reports under 760(c)(2) (21 U.S.C. 379aa(c)(2)) of the FD&C Act, and how to submit these reports. The estimates for annual reporting burden and recordkeeping are based on FDA’s knowledge of adverse drug experience reports historically submitted per year for prescription drug products and for nonprescription drug products marketed under an approved application, including knowledge about the time needed to prepare the reports and to maintain records. FDA receives approximately 2,500 serious adverse event reports for nonprescription drug products marketed under approved applications, which comprise approximately 20 percent of the overall nonprescription drug market. Based on this experience, we estimate between 10,000 and 15,000 (i.e., 12,500) total annual responses for nonprescription drugs marketed without an approved application. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN 1 Number of respondents Activity Number of responses per respondent Total annual responses Average burden per response (in hours) Total hours Reports of Serious Adverse Drug Events (21 U.S.C. 379aa(b) and (c)) ............................................................. 50 250 12,500 2 25,000 Total .............................................................................. ........................ ........................ ........................ ........................ 25,000 1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. Section 760(e) (21 U.S.C. 379aa(e)) of the FD&C Act also requires that responsible persons maintain records of nonprescription adverse event reports, whether or not the event is serious, for a period of 6 years. The guidance recommends that responsible persons maintain records of efforts to obtain the minimum data elements for a report of a serious adverse drug event and any followup reports. Although the guidance does not provide recommendations on recordkeeping activities generally under section 760(e) of the FD&C Act, FDA is providing an estimate for the burden of this collection. Historically, serious adverse event reports comprise approximately two-thirds and nonserious adverse event reports comprise approximately one- third of the total number of postmarketing adverse event reports associated with drugs and biologic therapeutics (except vaccines) received by FDA. Based on this generalization, FDA estimates the total annual records to be approximately 20,000 records per year. FDA estimates that it takes 5 hours to maintain each record and the recordkeeping burden as follows: TABLE 2—ESTIMATED ANNUAL RECORDKEEPING BURDEN 1 Number of recordkeepers Activity Number of records per recordkeeper Total annual records Average burden per recordkeeping (in hours) Total hours Recordkeeping (21 U.S.C. 379aa(e)(1)) .............................. 200 100 20,000 5 100,000 Total .............................................................................. ........................ ........................ ........................ ........................ 100,000 1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. Therefore, the estimated annual reporting burden for this information is 25,000 hours and the estimated annual recordkeeping burden is 100,000 hours. Dated: December 19, 2011.

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 
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.

section 502(b)(1) (21 U.S.C. 352(b)(1)) of the Federal Food, Drug, and 
Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act)) appears on the label of a nonprescription drug 
marketed in the United States.
    FDA is requesting public comment on estimates of annual submissions 
from these respondents, as required by the Dietary Supplement and 
Nonprescription Drug Consumer Protection Act (Public Law 109-462) and 
described in the guidance. This guidance document discusses what should 
be included in a serious adverse drug event report submitted under 
section 760(b)(1) (21 U.S.C. 379aa(b)(1)) of the FD&C Act, including 
followup reports under 760(c)(2) (21 U.S.C. 379aa(c)(2)) of the FD&C 
Act, and how to submit these reports. The estimates for annual 
reporting burden and recordkeeping are based on FDA's knowledge of 
adverse drug experience reports historically submitted per year for 
prescription drug products and for nonprescription drug products 
marketed under an approved application, including knowledge about the 
time needed to prepare the reports and to maintain records.
    FDA receives approximately 2,500 serious adverse event reports for 
nonprescription drug products marketed under approved applications, 
which comprise approximately 20 percent of the overall nonprescription 
drug market. Based on this experience, we estimate between 10,000 and 
15,000 (i.e., 12,500) total annual responses for nonprescription drugs 
marketed without an approved application.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as

[sup1] There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of
  information.

    Section 760(e) (21 U.S.C. 379aa(e)) of the FD&C Act also requires 
that responsible persons maintain records of nonprescription adverse 
event reports, whether or not the event is serious, for a period of 6 
years. The guidance recommends that responsible persons maintain 
records of efforts to obtain the minimum data elements for a report of 
a serious adverse drug event and any followup reports. Although the 
guidance does not provide recommendations on recordkeeping activities 
generally under section 760(e) of the FD&C Act, FDA is providing an 
estimate for the burden of this collection. Historically, serious 
adverse event reports comprise approximately two-thirds and nonserious 
adverse event reports comprise approximately one-third of the total 
number of postmarketing adverse event reports associated with drugs and 
biologic therapeutics (except vaccines) received by FDA. Based on this 
generalization, FDA estimates the total annual records to be 
approximately 20,000 records per year. FDA estimates that it takes 5 
hours to maintain each record and the recordkeeping burden as follows:
