SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance. Postmarket Surveillance—21 CFR Part 822—OMB Control Number 0910– 0449—Extension Section 522 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360l) authorizes FDA to require a manufacturer to conduct postmarket surveillance (PS) of any device that meets the criteria set forth in the statute. The PS regulation establishes procedures that FDA uses to approve and disapprove PS plans. The regulation provides instructions to manufacturers so they know what information is required in a PS plan submission. FDA reviews PS plan submissions in accordance with part 822 (21 CFR part 822) in §§ 822.15 through 822.19 of the regulation, which describe the grounds for approving or disapproving a PS plan. In addition, the PS regulation provides instructions to manufacturers to submit interim and final reports in accordance with § 822.38. Respondents to this collection of information are those manufacturers who require postmarket surveillance of their products. In the Federal Register of April 28, 2016 (81 FR 25409), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. No comments were received. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN 1 Number of respondents Activity/21 CFR section Number of responses per respondent Total annual responses Average burden per response Total hours Postmarket surveillance submission (§§ 822.9 and 822.10) Changes to PS plan after approval (§ 822.21) .................... Changes to PS plan for a device that is no longer marketed (§ 822.28) ................................................................

Explanation of Reporting Burden Estimate: The burden captured in table 1 of this document is based on the data from FDA’s internal tracking system. Sections 822.26, 822.27, and 822.34 do not constitute information collection subject to review under the PRA because it entails no burden other than that necessary to identify the respondent, the date, the respondents address, and the nature of the instrument (See 5 CFR 1320.3(h)(1)). TABLE 2—ESTIMATED ANNUAL RECORDKEEPING BURDEN 1 Number of recordkeepers Activity/21 CFR section Number of records per recordkeeper Total annual records Average burden per recordkeeping Total hours Manufacturer records (§ 822.31) ..........................................

Explanation of Recordkeeping Burden Estimate: FDA expects that at least some of the manufacturers will be able to satisfy the PS requirement using information or data they already have. For purposes of calculating burden, however, FDA has assumed that each PS order can only be satisfied by a 3-year clinically based surveillance plan, using three investigators. These estimates are based on FDA’s knowledge and experience with postmarket surveillance. Dated: September 1, 2016. Leslie Kux, Associate Commissioner for Policy.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1984, Congress enacted the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (Pub.

ANDA applicants must, with certain exceptions, show that the drug for which they are seeking approval contains the same active ingredient in the same strength and dosage form as the ‘‘listed drug,’’ which is a version of the drug that was previously approved. ANDA applicants do not have to repeat the extensive clinical testing otherwise necessary to gain approval of a new drug application (NDA). The 1984 amendments include what is now section 505(j)(7) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355(j)(7)), which requires FDA to publish a list of all approved drugs. FDA publishes this list as part of the ‘‘Approved Drug Products With Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations,’’ which is known generally as the ‘‘Orange Book.’’ Under FDA regulations, drugs are removed from the list if the Agency withdraws or suspends approval of the drug’s NDA or ANDA for reasons of safety or effectiveness or if FDA determines that the listed drug was withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness (21 CFR 314.162). A person may petition the Agency to determine, or the Agency may determine on its own initiative, whether a listed drug was withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness.

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) has 
determined that PREVACID IV (lansoprazole) intravenous injection, 30 
milligrams (mg)/vial, was not withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety 
or effectiveness. This determination will allow FDA to approve 
abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) for lansoprazole intravenous 
injection, 30 mg/vial, if all other legal and regulatory requirements 
are met.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1984, Congress enacted the Drug Price 
Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (Pub. L. 98-417) 
(the 1984 amendments), which authorized the approval of duplicate 
versions of drug products under an ANDA procedure. ANDA applicants 
must, with certain exceptions, show that the drug for which they are 
seeking approval contains the same active ingredient in the same 
strength and dosage form as the ``listed drug,'' which is a version of 
the drug that was previously approved. ANDA applicants do not have to 
repeat the extensive clinical testing otherwise necessary to gain 
approval of a new drug application (NDA).
    The 1984 amendments include what is now section 505(j)(7) of the 
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355(j)(7)), which 
requires FDA to publish a list of all approved drugs. FDA publishes 
this list as part of the ``Approved Drug Products With Therapeutic 
Equivalence Evaluations,'' which is known generally as the ``Orange 
Book.'' Under FDA regulations, drugs are removed from the list if the 
Agency withdraws or suspends approval of the drug's NDA or ANDA for 
reasons of safety or effectiveness or if FDA determines that the listed 
drug was withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness (21 
CFR 314.162).
    A person may petition the Agency to determine, or the Agency may 
determine on its own initiative, whether a listed drug was withdrawn 
from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness. This determination 
may be made at any time after the drug has been withdrawn from sale, 
but must be made prior to approving an ANDA that refers to the listed 
drug (Sec.  314.161 (21 CFR 314.161)). FDA may not approve an ANDA that 
does not refer to a listed drug.
    PREVACID IV (lansoprazole) intravenous injection, 30 mg/vial, is 
the subject of NDA 021566, held by Takeda Pharmaceuticals North 
America, Inc., and initially approved on May 27, 2004. The Indications 
and Usage section of the PREVACID IV labeling states the following: 
``When patients are unable to take the oral formulations, PREVACID I.V. 
for Injection is indicated as an alternative for the short-term 
treatment (up to 7 days) of all grades of erosive esophagitis. Once the 
patient is able to take medications orally, therapy can be switched to 
an oral formulation of PREVACID for a total of 6 to 8 weeks. The safety 
and efficacy of PREVACID I.V. for Injection as an initial treatment of 
erosive esophagitis have not been demonstrated. Refer to full 
prescribing information for the oral formulations of PREVACID.''
    In a letter dated February 5, 2007, Takeda Pharmaceuticals North 
America, Inc. notified FDA that PREVACID IV (lansoprazole) intravenous 
injection, 30 mg/vial, was being discontinued, and FDA moved the drug 
product to the ``Discontinued Drug Product List'' section of the Orange 
Book.
    Rose Zhao submitted a citizen petition dated March 18, 2016 (Docket 
No. FDA-2016-P-1037), under 21 CFR 10.30, requesting that the Agency 
determine whether PREVACID IV (lansoprazole) intravenous injection, 30 
mg/vial, was withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or 
effectiveness.
    After considering the citizen petition and reviewing Agency records 
and based on the information we have at this time, FDA has determined 
under Sec.  314.161 that PREVACID IV (lansoprazole) intravenous 
injection, 30 mg/vial, was not withdrawn for reasons of safety or 
effectiveness. The petitioner has identified no data or other 
information suggesting that PREVACID IV (lansoprazole) intravenous 
injection, 30 mg/vial, was withdrawn for reasons of safety or 
effectiveness. We have carefully reviewed our files for records 
concerning the withdrawal of PREVACID IV (lansoprazole) intravenous 
injection, 30 mg/vial, from sale. We have also independently evaluated 
relevant literature and data for possible postmarketing adverse events. 
We have reviewed the available evidence and determined that this drug 
product was not withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or 
effectiveness.
    Accordingly, the Agency will continue to list PREVACID IV 
(lansoprazole) intravenous injection, 30 mg/vial, in the ``Discontinued 
Drug Product List'' section of the Orange Book. The ``Discontinued Drug 
Product List'' delineates, among other items, drug products that have 
been discontinued from marketing for reasons other than safety or 
effectiveness. ANDAs that refer to PREVACID IV (lansoprazole) 
intravenous injection, 30 mg/vial, may be approved by the Agency as 
long as they meet all other legal and regulatory requirements for the 
approval of ANDAs. If FDA determines that labeling for this drug 
product should be revised to meet current standards, the Agency will 
advise ANDA applicants to submit such labeling.
