Submit written comments to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA–305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kris Andre, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (HFD–600), Food and Drug Administration,7519 Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855,240–276–9326. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: entitled ‘‘Bioequivalence Recommendations for Specific Products,’’ which explained the process that would be used to make productspecific BE recommendations available to the public on FDA’s Web site at https://www.fda.gov/Drugs/ GuidanceCompliance RegulatoryInformation/Guidances/ default.htm. As described in that guidance, FDA adopted this process as a means to develop and disseminate product-specific BE recommendations and provide a meaningful opportunity for the public to consider and comment on those recommendations. This notice announces the availability of revised draft BE recommendations for paliperidone palmitate extended-release injectable suspension. New drug application 022264 for INVEGA SUSTENNA (paliperidone palmitate) extended-release injectable suspension was initially approved by FDA in July 2009. In August 2011, FDA issued a draft guidance for industry on BE recommendations for generic paliperidone palmitate (Draft BE Recommendations for Paliperidone Palmitate). FDA is now issuing a revised version of the Draft BE Recommendations for Paliperidone Palmitate Extended-Release Injectable Suspension (Revised Draft BE Recommendations). In May 2013, Janssen Research & Development, LLC, submitted a citizen petition requesting that FDA require that any ANDA referencing INVEGA SUSTENNA (paliperidone palmitate) extended-release injectable suspension meet certain conditions, including conditions related to demonstrating BE (Docket No. FDA–2013–P–0608). FDA is reviewing the issues raised in the petition. FDA will consider any comments on the Revised Draft BE Recommendations in responding to the citizen petition. This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when finalized, will represent the Agency’s current thinking on the design of BE studies to support ANDAs for paliperidone palmitate extended-release injectable suspension. 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. I. Background In the Federal Register of June 11, 2010 (75 FR 33311), FDA announced the availability of a guidance for industry II. Comments Interested persons may submit either written comments regarding this document to the Division of Dockets DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Food and Drug Administration [Docket No. FDA–2007–D–0369 (Formerly Docket No. 2007D–0168)] Draft Guidance for Industry on Bioequivalence Recommendations for Paliperidone Palmitate ExtendedRelease Injectable Suspension; Availability AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

Need and Proposed Use of the Information: For this program, performance measures were drafted to provide data to the program and to enable HRSA to provide aggregate program data. These measures cover the principal topic areas of interest to the Office of Rural Health Policy, including (a) network infrastructure; (b) network collaboration; (c) sustainability; and (d) network assessment. Several measures will be used for this program. Likely Respondents: The respondents would be Network Planning grant recipients. Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the information requested.
