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. ‘‘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. Requirements for Submission of In Vivo Bioequivalence Data—21 CFR Parts 314 and 320; OMB Control Number 0910– 0630—Extension In the Federal Register of January 16, 2009 (74 FR 2849), the Agency published a final rule revising FDA regulations to require applicants to submit data on all BE studies, including studies that do not meet passing bioequivalence criteria, which are performed on a drug product formulation submitted for approval under an ANDA, or in an amendment or supplement to an ANDA that contains BE studies. In the final rule, FDA amended §§ 314.94(a)(7)(i), 314.96(a)(1), 320.21(b)(1), and 314.97 (21 CFR 314.94(a)(7)(i), 314.96(a)(1), 320.21(b)(1), and 314.97) to require an ANDA applicant to submit information from all BE studies, both passing and nonpassing, conducted by the applicant on the same drug product formulation as that submitted for approval under an ANDA, amendment, or supplement. In table 1 of this document, FDA has estimated the reporting burden associated with each section of this requirement. FDA believes that the majority of additional BE studies will be reported in ANDAs (submitted under § 314.94), rather than supplements (reported in § 314.97) because it is unlikely than an ANDA holder will conduct BE studies with a drug after the drug has been approved. With respect to the reporting of additional BE studies in amendments (submitted under § 314.96), this should also account for a small number of reports because most BE studies will be conducted on a drug prior to the submission of the ANDA and will be reported in the ANDA itself. FDA estimates applicants will require approximately 120 hours of staff time to prepare and submit each additional complete BE study report and approximately 60 hours of staff time for each additional BE summary report. The Agency believes that a complete report will be required approximately 20 percent of the time, while a summary will suffice approximately 80 percent of the time. Based on a weighted-average calculation using the information presented previously in this document, the submission of each additional BE study is expected to take 72 hours of staff time ([120 × 0.2] + [60 × 0.8]).

L. 107–188) added section 414 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 350c), which requires that persons who manufacture, process, pack, hold, receive, distribute, transport, or import food in the United States establish and maintain records identifying the immediate previous sources and immediate subsequent recipients of food. Sections 1.326 through 1.363 of our regulations (21 CFR 1.326 through 1.363) set forth the requirements for recordkeeping and records access. The requirement to establish and maintain records improves our ability to respond to, and further contain, threats of serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals from accidental or deliberate contamination of food. Information maintained under these regulations will help us to identify and locate quickly contaminated or potentially contaminated food and to inform the appropriate individuals and food facilities of specific terrorist threats. Our regulations require that records for non-transporters include the name and full contact information of sources, recipients, and transporters, an adequate description of the food including the quantity and packaging, and the receipt and shipping dates (§§ 1.337 and 1.345). Required records for transporters include the names of consignor and consignee, points of origin and destination, date of shipment, number of packages, description of freight, route of movement and name of each carrier participating in the transportation, and transfer points through which shipment moved (§ 1.352). Existing records may be used if they contain all of the E:\FR\FM\26JNN1.SGM 26JNN1

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. 
``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.

Requirements for Submission of In Vivo Bioequivalence Data--21 CFR 
Parts 314 and 320; OMB Control Number 0910-0630--Extension

    In the Federal Register of January 16, 2009 (74 FR 2849), the 
Agency published a final rule revising FDA regulations to require 
applicants to submit data on all BE studies, including studies that do 
not meet passing bioequivalence criteria, which are performed on a drug 
product formulation submitted for approval under an ANDA, or in an 
amendment or supplement to an ANDA that contains BE studies. In the 
final rule, FDA amended Sec. Sec.  314.94(a)(7)(i), 314.96(a)(1), 
320.21(b)(1), and 314.97 (21 CFR 314.94(a)(7)(i), 314.96(a)(1), 
320.21(b)(1), and 314.97) to require an ANDA applicant to submit 
information from all BE studies, both passing and nonpassing, conducted 
by the applicant on the same drug product formulation as that submitted 
for approval under an ANDA, amendment, or supplement.
    In table 1 of this document, FDA has estimated the reporting burden 
associated with each section of this requirement. FDA believes that the 
majority of additional BE studies will be reported in ANDAs (submitted 
under Sec.  314.94), rather than supplements (reported in Sec.  314.97) 
because it is unlikely than an ANDA holder will conduct BE studies with 
a drug after the drug has been approved. With respect to the reporting 
of additional BE studies in amendments (submitted under Sec.  314.96), 
this should also account for a small number of reports because most BE 
studies will be conducted on a drug prior to the submission of the ANDA 
and will be reported in the ANDA itself.
    FDA estimates applicants will require approximately 120 hours of 
staff time to prepare and submit each additional complete BE study 
report and approximately 60 hours of staff time for each additional BE 
summary report. The Agency believes that a complete report will be 
required approximately 20 percent of the time, while a summary will 
suffice approximately 80 percent of the time. Based on a weighted-
average calculation using the information presented previously in this 
document, the submission of each additional BE study is expected to 
take 72 hours of staff time ([120 x 0.2] + [60 x 0.8]).
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:
