Government-Owned Inventions; Availability for Licensing, 50887-50888 [2017-23863]

Download as PDF 50887 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 211 / Thursday, November 2, 2017 / Notices are set forth in 21 CFR 314.50, and approved under OMB control number 0910–0001. This information collection supports part 315, currently approved under OMB control number 0910–0409. Based on past submissions (human drug applications and/or new indication supplements for diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals), we estimate two submissions will be received annually. We estimate 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 regulations do 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 criteria 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. FDA estimates the burden of this information collection as follows: TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN 1 21 CFR section Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent Total annual responses Average burden per response (in hours) Total hours Diagnostic Radiopharmaceuticals—315.4, 315.5, and 315.6 ................. 2 1 2 2,000 4,000 1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. Table 1 contains estimates of the annual reporting burden for the preparation of the safety and effectiveness sections of an application that are imposed by the applicable regulations. This estimate does not include time needed to conduct studies and clinical trials or other research from which the reported information is obtained. Dated: October 27, 2017. Anna K. Abram, Deputy Commissioner for Policy, Planning, Legislation, and Analysis.
