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. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:18 Feb 05, 2014 Jkt 232001 ‘‘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 Pharmacogenomic Data Submissions— (OMB Control Number 0910–0557)— Extension The guidance provides recommendations to sponsors submitting or holding investigational new drug applications (INDs), new drug applications (NDAs), or biologics license applications (BLAs) on what pharmacogenomic data should be submitted to the Agency during the drug development process. Sponsors holding, and applicants submitting, INDs, NDAs, or BLAs are subject to FDA requirements for submitting to the Agency data relevant to drug safety and efficacy (21 CFR 312.22, 312.23, 312.31, 312.33, 314.50, 314.81, 601.2, and 601.12). PO 00000 Frm 00035 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The guidance interprets FDA regulations for IND, NDA, or BLA submissions, clarifying when the regulations require pharmacogenomics data to be submitted and when the submission of such data is voluntary. The pharmacogenomic data submissions described in the guidance that are required to be submitted to an IND, NDA, BLA, or annual report are covered by the information collection requirements under parts 312, 314, and 601 and are approved by OMB under control numbers 0910–0014 (part 312, INDs); 0910–0001 (part 314, NDAs and annual reports); and 0910–0338 (part 601, BLAs). The guidance distinguishes between pharmacogenomic tests that may be considered valid biomarkers appropriate for regulatory decisionmaking, and other, less well-developed exploratory tests. The submission of exploratory pharmacogenomic data is not required under the regulations, although the Agency encourages the voluntary submission of such data. The guidance describes the voluntary genomic data submission (VGDS) that can be used for such a voluntary submission. The guidance does not recommend a specific format for the VGDS, except that such a voluntary submission be designated as a VGDS. The data submitted in a VGDS and the level of detail should be sufficient for FDA to be able to interpret the information and independently analyze the data, verify results, and explore possible genotype-phenotype correlations across studies. FDA does not want the VGDS to be overly burdensome and time-consuming for the sponsor. FDA has estimated the burden of preparing a voluntary submission described in the guidance that should be designated as a VGDS. Based on FDA’s experience with these submissions over the past few years, and on FDA’s familiarity with sponsors’ interest in submitting pharmacogenomic data during the drug development process, FDA estimates that approximately 4 sponsors will submit approximately 1 VGDS each, and that, on average, each VGDS will take approximately 50 hours to prepare and submit to FDA.

PO 00000 Frm 00036 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 379e(a)) provides that a color additive shall be deemed to be unsafe unless it meets the requirements of a listing regulation, including any requirement for batch certification, and is used in accordance with the regulation. We list color additives that have been shown to be safe for their intended uses in Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). We require batch certification for all color additives listed in 21 CFR part 74 and for all color additives provisionally listed in 21 CFR part 82. Color additives listed in 21 CFR part 73 are exempted from certification. The requirements for color additive certification are described in 21 CFR part 80. In the certification procedure, a representative sample of a new batch of color additive, accompanied by a ‘‘request for certification’’ that provides information about the batch, must be submitted to FDA’s Office of Cosmetics and Colors. FDA personnel perform chemical and other analyses of the representative sample and, providing the sample satisfies all certification requirements, issue a certification lot number for the batch. We charge a fee for certification based on the batch weight and require manufacturers to keep records of the batch pending and after certification. Under § 80.21, a request for certification must include: Name of color additive, manufacturer’s batch number and weight in pounds, name and address of manufacturer, storage conditions, statement of use(s), certification fee, and signature of person requesting certification. Under § 80.22, a request for certification must include a sample of the batch of color additive that is the subject of the request. The sample must be labeled to show: Name of color additive, manufacturer’s batch number and quantity, and name and address of person requesting certification. Under § 80.39, the person to whom a certificate is issued must keep complete records showing the disposal of all the color additive covered by the certificate. Such records are to be made available upon request to any accredited representative of FDA until at least 2 years after disposal of all the color additive.

Guidance for Industry on Pharmacogenomic Data Submissions--(OMB Control 
Number 0910-0557)--Extension

    The guidance provides recommendations to sponsors submitting or 
holding investigational new drug applications (INDs), new drug 
applications (NDAs), or biologics license applications (BLAs) on what 
pharmacogenomic data should be submitted to the Agency during the drug 
development process. Sponsors holding, and applicants submitting, INDs, 
NDAs, or BLAs are subject to FDA requirements for submitting to the 
Agency data relevant to drug safety and efficacy (21 CFR 312.22, 
312.23, 312.31, 312.33, 314.50, 314.81, 601.2, and 601.12).
    The guidance interprets FDA regulations for IND, NDA, or BLA 
submissions, clarifying when the regulations require pharmacogenomics 
data to be submitted and when the submission of such data is voluntary. 
The pharmacogenomic data submissions described in the guidance that are 
required to be submitted to an IND, NDA, BLA, or annual report are 
covered by the information collection requirements under parts 312, 
314, and 601 and are approved by OMB under control numbers 0910-0014 
(part 312, INDs); 0910-0001 (part 314, NDAs and annual reports); and 
0910-0338 (part 601, BLAs).
    The guidance distinguishes between pharmacogenomic tests that may 
be considered valid biomarkers appropriate for regulatory 
decisionmaking, and other, less well-developed exploratory tests. The 
submission of exploratory pharmacogenomic data is not required under 
the regulations, although the Agency encourages the voluntary 
submission of such data.
    The guidance describes the voluntary genomic data submission (VGDS) 
that can be used for such a voluntary submission. The guidance does not 
recommend a specific format for the VGDS, except that such a voluntary 
submission be designated as a VGDS. The data submitted in a VGDS and 
the level of detail should be sufficient for FDA to be able to 
interpret the information and independently analyze the data, verify 
results, and explore possible genotype-phenotype correlations across 
studies. FDA does not want the VGDS to be overly burdensome and time-
consuming for the sponsor.
    FDA has estimated the burden of preparing a voluntary submission 
described in the guidance that should be designated as a VGDS. Based on 
FDA's experience with these submissions over the past few years, and on 
FDA's familiarity with sponsors' interest in submitting pharmacogenomic 
data during the drug development process, FDA estimates that 
approximately 4 sponsors will submit approximately 1 VGDS each, and 
that, on average, each VGDS will take approximately 50 hours to prepare 
and submit to FDA.
    FDA estimates the burden of this information collection as follows:
