Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 74 / Monday, April 18, 2016 / Notices
‘‘burden’’ under 5 CFR 1320.3(b)(2).
FDA understands that maintaining
records of prescriptions for
compounded drug products is part of
the usual course of the practice of
compounding and selling drugs and is
required by States’ pharmacy laws and
other State laws governing record
keeping by health care professionals and
health care facilities.
Under the guidance, licensed
pharmacists and licensed physicians
should also maintain records of the
calculations performed to determine the
limited quantities of drug products
compounded before the receipt of valid
prescription orders under the
enforcement policy described in section
III.B.2 of this guidance and section
503A(a)(2) of the FD&C Act. These
records should clearly reflect the
quantity of a particular drug product
compounded in advance of receiving
prescription orders for identified
individual patients that the compounder
has kept on hand as stock for
distribution, and the basis for the
quantity the compounder kept in stock.
Under the enforcement policy described
in section III.B.2 of this guidance, this
would include the quantity of the drug
product distributed under prescription
22619
orders for identified individual patients
during the reference period that the
licensed pharmacist or licensed
physician selected (i.e., a 30-day period
within the last year).
We estimate that annually a total of
approximately 10,332 licensed
pharmacists and licensed physicians
(‘‘number of recordkeepers’’ in table 2)
will maintain approximately 103,320
records (‘‘total annual records’’ in table
2). We estimate that maintaining the
records will take approximately 5
minutes per record.
FDA estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows:

[Docket No. FDA–2016–N–1109]
I. Background
Tobacco Farm Site Tours Program
On June 22, 2009, the President
signed the Family Smoking Prevention
and Tobacco Control Act (Pub. L. 111–
31) into law, amending the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the
FD&C Act) and giving FDA authority to
regulate tobacco product manufacturing,
distribution, and marketing.
CTP’s Office of Science is conducting
the Tobacco Farm Site Tours Program to
provide its staff an opportunity to visit
farms that grow tobacco for sale to
tobacco product manufacturers (a
‘‘tobacco product manufacturer’’ is
defined as any person, including any
repacker or relabeler, who
manufactures, fabricates, assembles,
processes, or labels a tobacco product,
or imports a finished tobacco product
for sale or distribution in the United
States (section 900(20) of the FD&C Act
(21 U.S.C. 387(20))). Although farms
that grow tobacco are not FDA-regulated
entities unless they are also a tobacco
product manufacturer or controlled by a
tobacco product manufacturer (see
section 901(c)(2) of the FD&C Act (21
U.S.C. 387a(c)(2))), tobacco farm site
visits will aid the Agency in gaining a
better understanding of tobacco farming
and the processes involved in curing
and preparing tobacco leaf intended for
sale to tobacco product manufacturers.
The goal for the Tobacco Farm Site
Tours Program is for CTP staff to gain
firsthand exposure to tobacco farming
practices, including cultivation,
harvesting, curing, and preparation for
sale of tobacco leaf to tobacco product
manufacturers.
AGENCY:
Food and Drug Administration,
HHS.
ACTION:
Notice.
The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), Center for
Tobacco Products (CTP), is announcing
an invitation for participation in its
voluntary Tobacco Farm Site Tours
Program. This program is intended to
give CTP staff an opportunity to visit
farms that grow tobacco for sale to
tobacco product manufacturers in order
to gain a better understanding of tobacco
farming and the processes involved in
curing and preparing tobacco intended
for sale to tobacco product
manufacturers. This program is not an
FDA regulatory inspection, and tobacco
farms are not regulated entities unless
they are also a tobacco product
manufacturer or controlled by a tobacco
product manufacturer. The purpose of
this notice is to invite parties interested
in participating in the Tobacco Farm
Site Tours Program to submit requests to
CTP.
DATES: Submit either an electronic or
written request for participation in this
program by June 17, 2016. See section
IV of this document for information on
requests for participation.
ADDRESSES: If your farm is interested in
offering a site visit, please submit a
request either electronically to https://
www.regulations.gov or in writing to the
Division of Dockets Management (HFA–
305), Food and Drug Administration,

II. Description of Tobacco Farm Site
Tours Program
In the Tobacco Farm Site Tours
Program, small groups of CTP staff plan
to observe the operations of farms that
grow tobacco for sale to tobacco product
manufacturers. Please note that FDA
does not regulate these farms and the
Tobacco Farm Site Tours Program is not
an inspection of facilities to determine
compliance with the FD&C Act; rather,
this program is meant to educate CTP
staff and improve their understanding of
tobacco farming. It is anticipated that
the tobacco farm site tours will take
place in the fall of 2016.
III. Site Selection
CTP hopes to be able to tour small,
medium, and large farms, and farms that
grow tobacco for different kinds of
tobacco products. Final site selections
will be based on the availability of
funds and resources for the relevant
fiscal year as well as the desire to visit
a wide variety of types of tobacco farms.
FDA plans on visiting nine or fewer
farms. All FDA travel expenses
associated with the farm site tours will
be the responsibility of FDA.
IV. Requests for Participation
To aid in site selection, your request
for participation should include the
following information:
• A description of your farm,
including the size of the farm;
• A list of the type(s) of tobacco
grown and the kinds of tobacco product
manufacturers to whom you sell
tobacco;
• The physical address(es) of the
site(s) for which you are submitting a
request; and
• A proposed 1-day tour agenda.
Identify requests for participation
with the docket number found in
brackets in the heading of this
document. Received requests are
available for public examination in the
Division of Dockets Management (see
ADDRESSES) between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.,
Monday through Friday.
