Download as PDF tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with 102 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 1 / Wednesday, January 2, 2013 / Notices and effectiveness reach patients as quickly as possible, we have modified the PMA filing guidance. In this guidance entitled, ‘‘Acceptance and Filing Reviews for Premarket Approval Applications (PMAs),’’ we have separated the requirements for PMA filing into: (1) Acceptance criteria and (2) filing criteria. Acceptance review involves an early assessment of the completeness of the application, and informing the applicant in a written response within the first 15 calendar days of receipt of the application whether any administrative elements are missing, and if so, identifying the missing administrative element(s). In order to enhance the consistency of our acceptance and filing decisions and to help applicants understand the types of information FDA needs to conduct a substantive review of a PMA, this guidance and associated checklist clarify the necessary elements and contents of a complete PMA application. The process we outline is applicable to all devices reviewed in a PMA application. Acceptance and filing decisions will be made for all original PMA applications and panel-track PMA supplements. This guidance is not significantly different from the 2003 PMA guidance document. The ‘‘preliminary questions’’ remain the same and the ‘‘filing review questions’’ have been separated into ‘‘acceptance decision questions’’ (i.e., is the file administratively complete) and ‘‘filing decision questions’’ (i.e., are data consistent with protocol, final device design, and proposed indications). In addition, it should be noted that this document is focused on the regulatory and scientific criteria for making an ‘‘Accept’’ or ‘‘Refuse to Accept’’ decision as well as ‘‘File’’ or ‘‘Not File’’ decision for a PMA. It specifically does not alter the following administrative aspects of the PMA filing process: (1) The time frame for the filing review phase (i.e., 45 days); (2) the processes for document tracking, distribution, and handling; and (3) the procedures for assembling the review team and setting up the filing meeting. In the Federal Register of July 31, 2012 (77 FR 45357), FDA announced the availability of the draft guidance document. Interested persons were invited to comment by September 14, 2012. Nine comments were received with multiple recommendations pertaining to the administrative processes and policies regarding acceptance and filing review decisions. In response to these comments, FDA revised the guidance document to clarify the processes and policies as appropriate. This guidance supersedes VerDate Mar<15>2010 21:57 Dec 31, 2012 Jkt 099060 the guidance entitled ‘‘Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff Premarket Approval Application Filing Review,’’ dated May 1, 2003. of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, and will be posted to the docket at https:// www.regulations.gov. II. Significance of 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 acceptance and filing reviews for PMAs. 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 statute and regulations. Dated: December 26, 2012. Leslie Kux, Assistant Commissioner for Policy.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The IOM, at the request of the Commissioner, undertook a study of the use of FDA’s advisory committees. In its final report in 1992, one of the IOM’s recommendations was for FDA to adopt a policy of publishing an advance yearly schedule of its upcoming public advisory committee meetings in the Federal Register; FDA has implemented this recommendation. The annual publication of tentatively scheduled advisory committee meetings will provide both advisory committee members and the public with the opportunity, in advance, to schedule attendance at FDA’s upcoming advisory committee meetings. Because the schedule is tentative, amendments to this notice will not be published in the Federal Register. However, changes to the schedule will be posted on the FDA advisory committees’ Internet site located at https://www.fda.gov/ AdvisoryCommittees/default.htm. FDA will continue to publish a Federal Register notice 15 days in advance of each upcoming advisory committee meeting, to announce the meeting (21 CFR 14.20).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a final guidance for industry 
and FDA staff entitled ``eCopy Program for Medical Device 
Submissions.'' This guidance explains the new eCopy Program for medical 
device submissions. This final guidance will be considered in effect on 
January 1, 2013, or at the time of publication, whichever is later. 
After this date, submission of an eCopy for a medical device submission 
is no longer voluntary. Section 745A(b) of the FD&C Act, added by 
section 1136 of the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation 
Act (Pub. L. 112-144), requires the submission of an eCopy of certain 
device submissions after issuance of final guidance. This guidance 
describes how FDA has implemented the eCopy Program under section 
745A(b) of the FD&C Act. The inclusion of an eCopy is expected to 
improve the efficiency of the review process by allowing for the 
immediate availability of an electronic version for review rather than 
relying solely on the paper version.
    The eCopy Program is not intended to impact (reduce or increase) 
the type or amount of data the applicant includes in a submission to 
support clearance or approval. An eCopy is defined as an exact 
duplicate of the paper submission, created and submitted on a compact 
disc, digital video disc, or flash drive, accompanied by a copy of the 
signed cover letter and the complete paper submission.
    In the Federal Register of October 17, 2012 (77 FR 63837), FDA 
announced the availability of the draft guidance document. Interested 
persons were invited to comment by November 16, 2012. Eight comments 
were received and in general were supportive of the eCopy Program. 
However, the comments contained multiple recommendations pertaining to 
the organization of the guidance and requests for clarification on 
details such as how many copies are needed for each submission type, 
for what types of submissions an eCopy is required, the necessity for a 
signed cover letter, how eCopy processing is conducted, when a 
submission begins the review process, and how to interpret some of the 
standards in the Attachment. In response to these comments, FDA revised 
the guidance document to clarify the primary points of confusion 
identified, and restructured the information for better readability.

II. Significance of Guidance

    In section 745A(b), Congress granted explicit statutory 
authorization to FDA to implement the statutory eCopy requirement by 
providing standards, criteria for waivers, and exemptions in guidance. 
To the extent that this document provides requirements under section 
745A(b)(2)(A) of the FD&C Act (i.e., standards, criteria for waivers, 
and exemptions), indicated by the use of the words must or required, 
this document is not subject to the usual restrictions in FDA's good 
guidance practice regulations, such as the requirement that guidances 
not establish legally enforceable responsibilities. (See 21 CFR 
10.115(d).)
    However, this document also contains guidance on implementing the 
eCopy Program. To the extent that this guidance describes 
recommendations that are not standards, criteria for waivers, or 
exemptions under section 745A(b)(2), it is being issued in accordance 
with FDA's good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). Such 
parts of this guidance represent the Agency's current thinking on this 
topic, and do not create or confer any rights for or on any person and 
do not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may 
be used for these recommendations if such an approach satisfies the 
requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. The use of the 
word should in this guidance means that something is suggested or 
recommended, but not required. This final guidance contains both 
binding and nonbinding provisions.

III. Electronic Access

    Persons interested in obtaining a copy of the guidance may do so by 
using the Internet. A search capability for all CDRH guidance documents 
is available at https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/GuidanceDocuments/default.htm. Guidance 
documents are also available at https://www.regulations.gov. To receive 
``eCopy Program for Medical Device Submissions,'' you may either send 
an email request to dsmica@fda.hhs.gov to receive an electronic copy of 
the document or send a fax request to 301-847-8149 to receive a hard 
copy. Please use the document number 1797 to identify the guidance you 
are requesting.

IV. 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 part 807, subpart E, have been 
approved under OMB control number 0910-0120 (510(k)); the collections 
of information in 21 CFR part 812 have been approved under OMB control 
number 0910-0078 (Investigational Device Exemptions); the collections 
of information in 21 CFR part 814 have been approved under OMB control 
number 0910-0231 (Premarket Approval); the collections of information 
in section 513(g) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360c(g)) have been 
approved under OMB control number 0910-0705 (513(g)); the collections 
of information in 21 CFR part 814, subpart H, have been approved under 
OMB control numbers 0910-0332 and 0910-0661 (Humanitarian Use Devices); 
and the collections of information in section 564 of the FD&C Act (21 
U.S.C. 360bbb-3) have been approved under OMB control number 0910-0595 
(Emergency Use Authorization).
