The date the application was initially submitted with respect to the human drug product under section 505(b) of the FD&C Act: December 17, 2014. FDA has verified the applicant’s claim that the new drug application (NDA) for ENTRESTO (NDA 207620) was initially submitted on December 17, 2014. 3. The date the application was approved: July 7, 2015. FDA has verified the applicant’s claim that NDA 207620 was approved on July 7, 2015. This determination of the regulatory review period establishes the maximum potential length of a patent extension. However, the USPTO applies several statutory limitations in its calculations of the actual period for patent extension. In its applications for patent extension, this applicant seeks 1,296 days, 732 days, 519 days, 270 days or 225 days of patent term extension. III.

A scientific controversy involves issues concerning a specific product regulated by CVM related to matters of technical expertise and requires specialized education, training, or experience to be understood and resolved. The guidance details information on how CVM intends to apply provisions of existing regulations regarding internal review of Agency decisions. In addition, the guidance outlines the established procedures for persons who are sponsors, applicants, or manufacturers of animal drugs or other products regulated by CVM that wish to submit a request for review of a scientific dispute. When a sponsor, applicant, or manufacturer has a scientific disagreement with a written decision by CVM, they may submit a request for a review of that decision by following the established procedures discussed in the guidance. CVM encourages applicants to begin the resolution of science-based disputes with discussions with the review team/ group, including the Team Leader or Division Director. The Center prefers that differences of opinion regarding science or science-based policy be resolved between the review team/group and the applicant. If the matter is not resolved by this preferred method then CVM recommends that the applicant follow the procedures in GFI #79. In the Federal Register of October 27, 2017 (82 FR 49836), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. We received no comments.

This information collection supports information collection found in FDA regulations. In the Federal Register of June 10, 2014 (79 FR 33072), FDA published a final rule entitled ‘‘Postmarketing Safety Reports for Human Drug and Biological Products: Electronic Submission Requirements.’’ The final rule amended FDA’s postmarketing safety reporting regulations for human drug and biological products under 21 CFR parts 310, 314, and 600 and added part 329 1 FDA currently has OMB approval for submission of postmarketing safety reports under parts 310, 314, and 600. The information collection for parts 310 and 314 is approved under OMB Control Numbers 0910–0291 and 0910–0230. The information collection for part 600 is approved under OMB Control Numbers 0910–0291 and 0910– 0308.

Specifically, this includes: • Manufacturers; packers; distributors; applicants with approved new drug applications, abbreviated new drug applications, and biologics licensing applications (BLAs); and those that market prescription drugs for human use without an approved application must submit postmarketing safety reports to the Agency (§§ 310.305, 314.80, 314.98, and 600.80); • manufacturers, packers, or distributors whose name appears on the label of nonprescription human drug products marketed without an approved application must report serious adverse events associated with their products (section 760 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 379aa)); and • applicants with approved BLAs must submit biological lot distribution reports to the Agency (§ 600.81). Under §§ 310.305(e)(2), 314.80(g)(2), 329.100(c)(2), 600.80(h)(2), and 600.81(b)(2), of the regulations, those who are subject to these postmarketing safety reporting requirements may request a waiver from the electronic format requirement. While FDA currently has OMB approval for the collection of postmarketing safety reports,1 this information collection supports respondents seeking waivers from submitting those reports in electronic format as required by the regulations. In the Federal Register of October 30, 2017 (82 FR 50141), we published a 60day notice requesting public comment on the proposed extension of this collection of information. No comments were received in response to the notice. We therefore estimate the burden of this collection of information as follows: FD&C Act have been approved under OMB Control Number 0910–0636.

(GIF) #79, ``Dispute Resolution Procedures for Science-Based Decisions 
on Products Regulated by the Center for Veterinary Medicine'' (https://www.fda.gov/downloads/AnimalVeterinary/GuidanceComplianceEnforcement/GuidanceforIndustry/UCM052393.pdf), describes the process by which CVM

scientific controversy involves issues concerning a specific product 
regulated by CVM related to matters of technical expertise and requires 
specialized education, training, or experience to be understood and 
resolved. The guidance details information on how CVM intends to apply

    In the next 3 years, CVM anticipates receiving one or fewer 
requests for review of a scientific dispute per year, on average. We 
base our estimate on CVM's experience over the past 6 years in handling 
formal appeals for scientific disputes. The burden of this collection 
has changed. The number of respondents decreased from two to one 
annually, the number of responses per respondent remained at four 
annually, the hours per response remained at 10 annually, and the total 
number of hours decreased from 80 to 40. This decrease in the total 
hours is the result of a natural fluctuation in the number of 
respondents taking advantage of this dispute resolution process.
