Pediatric Clinical Investigator Training Workshop, 23982-23983 [2014-09695]

Download as PDF 23982 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 82 / Tuesday, April 29, 2014 / Notices ‘‘Cosmetic Product Ingredient Statement,’’ and on Form FDA 2512a, a continuation form. Amendments to product formulations (§ 720.6) also are reported on Forms FDA 2512 and FDA 2512a. When a firm discontinues the commercial distribution of a cosmetic, we request that the firm file Form FDA 2514, ‘‘Notice of Discontinuance of Commercial Distribution of Cosmetic Product Formulation’’ (§§ 720.3 and 720.6). If any of the information submitted on or with these forms is confidential, the firm may submit a request for confidentiality under § 720.8. FDA’s online filing system is available on FDA’s VCRP Web site at https:// www.fda.gov/Cosmetics/ RegistrationProgram/ OnlineRegistration/ucm100241.htm. The online filing system contains the electronic versions of Forms FDA 2512, 2512a, and 2514, which are collectively found within the electronic version of Form FDA 2512. We place cosmetic product filing information in a computer database and use the information for evaluation of cosmetic products currently on the market. Because filing of cosmetic product formulations is not mandatory, voluntary filings provide us with the best information available about cosmetic product ingredients and their frequency of use, businesses engaged in the manufacture and distribution of cosmetics, and approximate rates of product discontinuance and formula modifications. The information assists our scientists in evaluating reports of alleged injuries and adverse reactions from the use of cosmetics. We also use the information in defining and planning analytical and toxicological studies pertaining to cosmetics. Information from the database is releasable to the public under our compliance with the Freedom of Information Act. We share nonconfidential information from our files on cosmetics with consumers, medical professionals, and industry. In the Federal Register of February 6, 2014 (79 FR 7196), FDA published a 60day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. No comments were received. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN 1 Annual frequency per response No. of respondents Total annual responses Hours per response 21 CFR Section or Part Form no.

We base our estimate of the total annual responses on paper and electronic submissions received during calendar years 2011, 2012 and 2013. We base our estimate of the hours per response upon information from cosmetic industry personnel and our experience entering data submitted on paper Forms 2511, 2512, 2512a, and 2514 into the electronic system. We estimate that, annually, 81 establishments that manufacture or package cosmetic products will each submit 1 registration on Form FDA 2511, for a total of 81 annual responses. Each submission is estimated to take 0.2 hour per response for a total of 16.2 hours, rounded to 16. We estimate that, annually, firms that manufacture, pack, or distribute cosmetics will file 4,877 ingredient statements for new submissions on Forms FDA 2512 and FDA 2512a. Each submission is estimated to take 0.33 hour per response VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:56 Apr 28, 2014 Jkt 232001 for a total of 1,609.41 hours, rounded to 1,609. We estimate that, annually, firms that manufacture, pack, or distribute cosmetics will file 1,042 amendments to product formulations on Forms FDA 2512 and FDA 2512a. Each submission is estimated to take 0.17 hour per response for a total of 177.14 hours, rounded to 177. We estimate that, annually, firms that manufacture, pack, or distribute cosmetics will file 1,826 notices of discontinuance on Form FDA 2514. Each submission is estimated to take 0.1 hour per response for a total of 182.6 hours, rounded to 183. We estimate that, annually, one firm will file one request for confidentiality. Each such request is estimated to take 2 hours to prepare for a total of 2.0 hours. Thus, the total estimated hour burden for this information collection is 1,987 hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background In July 2012, the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (Pub. L. 112–144) made permanent the pediatric initiatives, Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act and Pediatric Research Equity Act, which have stimulated pediatric research over the past 15 years. Though much progress has been made, pediatric trials for the purpose of developing product use parameters and information are still performed much less frequently than adult trials. As such, current standards for trials are much more oriented to adult scientific, ethical, and clinical processes. This situation is due, in part, to the fact that pediatric trials have a number of unique attributes and requirements, which must be met if the data are to be accepted or used by FDA. The development of safe and effective products in the pediatric population presents many challenges. These VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:56 Apr 28, 2014 Jkt 232001 challenges include trial design, appropriate endpoints, extrapolation of data from adults, and ethical issues. It is extremely important that pediatric researchers recognize and understand the challenges and differences between the standards for adult trials and pediatric trials. Researchers are responsible for ensuring the safe and ethical treatment of pediatric patients and obtaining adequate and reliable data to support regulatory decisions. There is a critical need for further pediatric research on medical products to obtain additional data, which will help ensure that these products are safe and effective in the pediatric population. We are able to obtain data and information in older children; however, the challenge of obtaining data from non-verbal children and neonates is much more difficult. This need reinforces our responsibility to educate clinical investigators to assure that children are only enrolled in research that is scientifically necessary, ethically sound, and designed to meet the challenges of review by FDA.
