Meetings Announcement for the Physician-Focused Payment Model Technical Advisory Committee Required by the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA), 5109-5110 [2018-02211]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 24 / Monday, February 5, 2018 / Notices consolidation of the 0910–0012 collection into this collection in 2004, we have included the estimated recordkeeping burden for medicated feed adverse event reports as part of our estimate of the recordkeeping burden of all mandatory adverse event reports for new animal drugs. To improve the clarity of our estimates we have added a row to table 2, on which we separately report our recordkeeping estimate for medicated feed adverse event reports (20 hours). The burden of this collection has changed. There was a slight increase in the estimated number of reports submitted to FDA under total annual responses (by 7.8 responses) and there was a slight overall decrease in burden hours (by 1.75 hours). This minor fluctuation in responses and hours is due to the normal variation in the submission of reports to FDA, the correction of mathematical errors, and a change in reporting methodology (addition of a new row to table 1 and table 2). We continually strive to improve our systems for collecting and analyzing drug experience reports and adverse event reports. To that end, we have developed an electronic submission system by which Form FDA 2301 may be submitted to the Agency. For Form FDA 1932a, we have a fillable electronic form available online, which can be submitted by email to FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine. We specifically invite comment from respondents on the utility of these reporting forms. Electronic adverse event reporting for approved new animal drugs (including mandatory reporting under § 514.80(b) and voluntary reporting) has been approved under OMB control number 0910–0645. Reporting and recordkeeping associated with the index of legally marketed unapproved new animal drugs for minor species (21 CFR part 516) is approved under OMB control number 0910–0620. Dated: January 30, 2018. Leslie Kux, Associate Commissioner for Policy.
