SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00054 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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.

In response to the requirements of section 122 of the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105–115), FDA published a final rule in the Federal Register of May 17, 1999 (64 FR 26657), amending its regulations by adding provisions that clarify the Agency’s evaluation and approval of in vivo radiopharmaceuticals used in the diagnosis or monitoring of diseases. The regulation describes the kinds of indications of diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals and some of the criteria that the Agency would use to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a diagnostic radiopharmaceutical under section 505 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355) (the FD&C Act) and section 351 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 262) (the PHS Act). Information about the safety or effectiveness of a diagnostic radiopharmaceutical enables FDA to properly evaluate the safety and effectiveness profiles of a new diagnostic radiopharmaceutical or a new indication for use of an approved diagnostic radiopharmaceutical. The rule clarifies existing FDA requirements for approval and evaluation of drug and biological products already in place under the authorities of the FD&C Act and the PHS Act. The information, which is usually submitted as part of a new drug application or biologics license application or as a supplement to an approved application, typically includes, but is not limited to, nonclinical and clinical data on the pharmacology, toxicology, adverse events, radiation safety assessments, and chemistry, manufacturing, and controls. The content and format of an application for approval of a new drug are set forth in § 314.50 (21 CFR 314.50). Under part 315, information required under the FD&C Act and needed by FDA to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of in vivo radiopharmaceuticals still needs to be reported. Based on the number of submissions (that is, human drug applications and/ or new indication supplements for diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals) that FDA receives, the Agency estimates that it will receive approximately two submissions annually from two applicants. The hours per response refers to the estimated number of hours that an applicant would spend preparing the information required by the regulations. Based on FDA’s experience, the Agency estimates the time needed to prepare a complete application for a diagnostic radiopharmaceutical to be approximately 10,000 hours, roughly one-fifth of which, or 2,000 hours, is estimated to be spent preparing the portions of the application that would be affected by these regulations. The regulation does not impose any additional reporting burden for safety and effectiveness information on diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals beyond the estimated burden of 2,000 hours because safety and effectiveness information is already required by § 314.50 (collection of information approved under OMB control number 0910–0001). In fact, clarification in these regulations of FDA’s standards for evaluation of diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals is intended to streamline overall information collection burdens, particularly for diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals that may have well-established, low-risk safety profiles, by enabling manufacturers to tailor information submissions and avoid unnecessary clinical studies. Table 1 of this document contains estimates of the annual reporting burden for the preparation of the safety and effectiveness sections of an application that are imposed by existing regulations. This estimate does not include the actual time needed to conduct studies and trials or other research from which the reported information is obtained.

Regulations for In Vivo Radiopharmaceuticals Used for Diagnosis and 
Monitoring--21 CFR Part 315--(OMB Control Number 0910-0409)--Extension

    FDA is requesting OMB approval of the information collection 
requirements contained in 21 CFR 315.4, 315.5, and 315.6. These 
regulations require manufacturers of diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals to 
submit information that demonstrates the safety and effectiveness of a 
new diagnostic radiopharmaceutical or of a new

[[Page 42338]]

indication for use of an approved diagnostic radiopharmaceutical.
    In response to the requirements of section 122 of the Food and Drug 
Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105-115), FDA 
published a final rule in the Federal Register of May 17, 1999 (64 FR 
26657), amending its regulations by adding provisions that clarify the 
Agency's evaluation and approval of in vivo radiopharmaceuticals used 
in the diagnosis or monitoring of diseases. The regulation describes 
the kinds of indications of diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals and some of 
the criteria that the Agency would use to evaluate the safety and 
effectiveness of a diagnostic radiopharmaceutical under section 505 of 
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355) (the FD&C Act) 
and section 351 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 262) (the 
PHS Act). Information about the safety or effectiveness of a diagnostic 
radiopharmaceutical enables FDA to properly evaluate the safety and 
effectiveness profiles of a new diagnostic radiopharmaceutical or a new 
indication for use of an approved diagnostic radiopharmaceutical.
    The rule clarifies existing FDA requirements for approval and 
evaluation of drug and biological products already in place under the 
authorities of the FD&C Act and the PHS Act. The information, which is 
usually submitted as part of a new drug application or biologics 
license application or as a supplement to an approved application, 
typically includes, but is not limited to, nonclinical and clinical 
data on the pharmacology, toxicology, adverse events, radiation safety 
assessments, and chemistry, manufacturing, and controls. The content 
and format of an application for approval of a new drug are set forth 
in Sec.  314.50 (21 CFR 314.50). Under part 315, information required 
under the FD&C Act and needed by FDA to evaluate the safety and 
effectiveness of in vivo radiopharmaceuticals still needs to be 
reported.
    Based on the number of submissions (that is, human drug 
applications and/or new indication supplements for diagnostic 
radiopharmaceuticals) that FDA receives, the Agency estimates that it 
will receive approximately two submissions annually from two 
applicants. The hours per response refers to the estimated number of 
hours that an applicant would spend preparing the information required 
by the regulations. Based on FDA's experience, the Agency estimates the 
time needed to prepare a complete application for a diagnostic 
radiopharmaceutical to be approximately 10,000 hours, roughly one-fifth 
of which, or 2,000 hours, is estimated to be spent preparing the 
portions of the application that would be affected by these 
regulations. The regulation does not impose any additional reporting 
burden for safety and effectiveness information on diagnostic 
radiopharmaceuticals beyond the estimated burden of 2,000 hours because 
safety and effectiveness information is already required by Sec.  
314.50 (collection of information approved under OMB control number 
0910-0001). In fact, clarification in these regulations of FDA's 
standards for evaluation of diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals is intended 
to streamline overall information collection burdens, particularly for 
diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals that may have well-established, low-
risk safety profiles, by enabling manufacturers to tailor information 
submissions and avoid unnecessary clinical studies. Table 1 of this 
document contains estimates of the annual reporting burden for the 
preparation of the safety and effectiveness sections of an application 
that are imposed by existing regulations. This estimate does not 
include the actual time needed to conduct studies and trials or other 
research from which the reported information is obtained.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:
