SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ADDRESSES: I. Background The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111–148) amended the Public Health Service Act to create an abbreviated licensure pathway for biological products that are demonstrated to be ‘‘biosimilar’’ to or ‘‘interchangeable’’ with an FDAlicensed biological product. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act), as amended by BsUFA (Title IV of the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act, Pub. L. 112– 144), authorizes FDA to assess and collect fees for biosimilar biological products from October 2012 through September 2017. FDA uses these fees to expedite the review process for biosimilar biological products. Biosimilar biological products represent an important public health benefit, with the potential to offer life-saving or lifealtering benefits at reduced cost to the patient. BsUFA facilitates the development of safe and effective biosimilar products for the American public. As part of BsUFA, FDA is required to contract with an independent accounting or consulting firm to study the workload volume and full costs associated with the process for the review of biosimilar biological product applications. This notice solicits comments on the interim report, and the final report is due no later than September 30, 2016.
