Participation in this program is one way laboratories can ensure high-quality laboratory testing, resulting in accurate and reliable testing results. By providing an evaluation program to assess the ability of the laboratories to test for drug resistant M. tuberculosis strains, laboratories also have a selfassessment tool to aid in optimizing their skills in susceptibility testing. The information obtained from the laboratories on susceptibility practices and procedures is used to establish variables related to good performance, assessing training needs, and aid with the development of practice standards. Participants in this program include domestic clinical and public health laboratories. Data collection from laboratory participants occurs twice per year. The data collected in this program will include the susceptibility test results of primary and secondary drugs, drug concentrations, and test methods performed by laboratories on a set of performance evaluation (PE) samples. The PE samples are sent to participants twice a year. Participants also report demographic data such as laboratory type and the number of tests performed annually. There is no cost to respondents to participate other than their time. The total estimated annual burden hours are 156.

FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) and Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) have been receiving submissions in the eCTD format since 2003, and the eCTD has been the standard for electronic submissions to CDER and CBER since January 1, 2008. Previously, formats for files contained within eCTD submissions were limited to those specified in the ‘‘eCTD Backbone File Specification for Modules 2 through 5.3.2.2.’’ However, as review tools and methods have changed and with the acceptance of advertising and promotional labeling in the eCTD format, it has become necessary to expand the range of file types accepted.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: GDUFA (Pub. L. 112-144, Title III) was 
signed into law by the President on July 9, 2012, as part of the Food 
and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act. GDUFA is designed to

and reduce costs to industry. GDUFA enables FDA to assess user fees to

improve global supply chain transparency by requiring owners of 
facilities producing generic drug products and active pharmaceutical 
ingredients and certain other sites and organizations that support the 
manufacture or approval of these products to electronically self-
identify with FDA and update that information annually.
    Annual self-identification is required for two purposes. First, it 
is necessary to determine the universe of facilities required to pay 
user fees. Second, self-identification is a central component of an 
effort to promote global supply chain transparency. The information 
provided through self-identification enables quick, accurate, and 
reliable surveillance of generic drugs and facilitates inspections and 
compliance.
    Persons who self-identified for FY 2013 must self-identify again 
for FY 2014 between May 1, 2013, and June 1, 2013. Additional 
information including who is required to self-identify, how the 
information is submitted to FDA, the penalty for failure to self-
identify, and the technical specifications are available on https://www.fda.gov/ForIndustry/UserFees/GenericDrugUserFees/default.htm.
    Please note that registration and listing under section 510 of the 
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360) is a different 
process than self-identification under GDUFA. Many persons will thus be 
required to submit information separately to the respective systems. 
Each system populates its own database to meet unique requirements and 
deadlines. Both, however, are built on the same platform and based on 
the same technical standards.
