Significance of Guidance DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES This guidance, developed under the VICH process, has been revised to conform to FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). For example, the document has been designated ‘‘guidance’’ rather than ‘‘guideline.’’ In addition, guidance documents must not include mandatory language such as ‘‘shall,’’ ‘‘must,’’ ‘‘require,’’ or ‘‘requirement,’’ unless FDA is using these words to describe a statutory or regulatory requirement. This guidance represents the Agency’s current thinking on this topic. 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. 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 this guidance have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0032. V.
