Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 204 / Wednesday, October 22, 2014 / Notices comment on the proposed collection of information. No comments were received. We estimate the annual burden of this collection of information as follows: section 403A(b) of the FD&C Act for granting exemption from Federal preemption. In the Federal Register of August 7, 2014 (79 FR 46269), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public state is required to submit in such a petition. The information required under § 100.1(d) enables FDA to determine whether the state food labeling or standard of identity requirement satisfies the criteria of 63129 TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN 1 21 CFR 100.1(d) Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent Total annual responses Avg. burden per response Total hours Form of petition ................................................ 1 1 1 40 40 1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. The reporting burden for § 100.1(d) is minimal because petitions for exemption from preemption are seldom submitted by states. In the last 3 years, we have received one new petition for exemption from preemption; therefore, we estimate that one or fewer petitions will be submitted annually. Dated: October 16, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled ‘‘Migraine: Developing Drugs for Acute Treatment.’’ The purpose of this guidance is to assist sponsors in the clinical development of drugs for the acute treatment of migraine. This guidance focuses on specific drug development and trial design issues that are unique to the study of drugs for the acute treatment of migraine. This guidance is intended to serve as a focus for continued discussions among the Division of Neurology Products, pharmaceutical sponsors, the academic community, and the public. Migraine is a chronic neurovascular disorder characterized by recurrent attacks of often severe headache, typically presenting with nausea, PO 00000 Frm 00052 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 vomiting, and sensitivity to light and/or sound. Pharmacologic approaches to the treatment of migraine include drugs to treat acute migraine attacks as they arise (acute treatment of migraine) and drugs to reduce the frequency of migraine attacks (preventive treatment). This guidance addresses the development program of drugs for the acute treatment of migraine, including trial population, trial design, dose selection, efficacy endpoints, and statistical considerations. The guidance also discusses safety considerations, pediatric studies, and labeling considerations. This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when finalized, will represent the Agency’s current thinking on developing drugs for the acute treatment of migraine.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry entitled ‘‘Circumstances that Constitute Delaying, Denying, Limiting, or Refusing a Drug Inspection.’’ On July 9, 2012, FDASIA (Pub. L. 112–144) was signed into law. Section 707 of FDASIA adds 501(j) to the FD&C Act to make a drug adulterated that ‘‘has been manufactured, processed, packed, or held in any factory, warehouse, or establishment and the owner, operator, or agent of such factory, warehouse, or establishment delays, denies, or limits an inspection, or refuses to permit entry or inspection.’’ As required by Section 707, FDA is issuing this guidance to define the types of action, inaction, and circumstances that FDA considers to constitute delaying, denying, or limiting inspection, or refusing to permit entry or inspection for the purposes of Section 501(j) of the FD&C Act. In July 2013, FDA issued a draft guidance for industry of the same title (78 FR 42387, July 15, 2013). In response to docket comments, we revised the guidance to clarify FDA’s expectations regarding the types of action, inaction, and circumstances that make a drug adulterated under 501(j) of the FD&C Act. Among other things, we added examples that may constitute reasonable explanations for actions, inactions, or circumstances that could otherwise be considered delaying, denying, or limiting inspection, or refusing to permit entry or inspection. This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the Agency’s current thinking on ‘‘Circumstances that Constitute Delaying, Denying, Limiting, or Refusing a Drug Inspection.’’ It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public.

unique to the study of drugs for the acute treatment of migraine. This 
guidance is intended to serve as a focus for continued discussions 
among the Division of Neurology Products, pharmaceutical sponsors, the 
academic community, and the public.
    Migraine is a chronic neurovascular disorder characterized by 
recurrent attacks of often severe headache, typically presenting with 
nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and/or sound. Pharmacologic 
approaches to the treatment of migraine include drugs to treat acute 
migraine attacks as they arise (acute treatment of migraine) and drugs 
to reduce the frequency of migraine attacks (preventive treatment).
