Download as PDF 6036 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 29 / Monday, February 12, 2018 / Notices was initially submitted on August 30, 2012. 3. The date the application was approved: August 13, 2014. FDA has verified the applicant’s claim that NDA 204569 was approved on August 13, 2014. 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 application for patent extension, this applicant seeks zero days of patent term extension. III. Petitions Anyone with knowledge that any of the dates as published are incorrect may submit either electronic or written comments and, under 21 CFR 60.24, ask for a redetermination (see DATES). Furthermore, as specified in § 60.30 (21 CFR 60.30), any interested person may petition FDA for a determination regarding whether the applicant for extension acted with due diligence during the regulatory review period.

ACTION: Notice. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing that a proposed collection of information has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. DATES: Fax written comments on the collection of information by March 14, 2018. ADDRESSES: To ensure that comments on the information collection are received, OMB recommends that written comments be faxed to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, OMB, Attn: FDA Desk Officer, Fax: 202– 395–7285, or emailed to oira_ submission@omb.eop.gov.

SUMMARY: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Domini Bean, Office of Operations, Food and Drug Administration, Three White Flint North, 10A–12M, 11601 Landsdown St., North Bethesda, MD 20852, 301–796–5733, PRAStaff@ fda.hhs.gov. In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Content and Format of Labeling for Human Prescription Drugs and Biological Products; Requirements for Pregnancy and Lactation Labeling OMB Control Number 0910–0624— Extension This information collection supports Agency regulations regarding the content and format requirements for pregnancy and lactation labeling. In the Federal Register of December 4, 2014 (79 FR 72064), FDA published a final VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:23 Feb 09, 2018 Jkt 244001 PO 00000 Frm 00062 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 rule entitled ‘‘Content and Format of Labeling for Human Prescription Drug and Biological Products; Requirements for Pregnancy and Lactation Labeling.’’ The final rule amended FDA regulations concerning the content and format of the ‘‘Pregnancy,’’ ‘‘Labor and delivery,’’ and ‘‘Nursing mothers’’ subsections of the ‘‘Use in Specific Populations’’ section of the labeling for human prescription drugs. The regulations now require, among other things, a summary of the risks of using a drug during pregnancy and lactation and a discussion of the data supporting that summary. The labeling must also include relevant information to help health care providers make prescribing decisions and counsel women about the use of drugs during pregnancy and lactation. The final rule eliminated the pregnancy categories A, B, C, D, and X. In addition, FDA eliminated the ‘‘Labor and delivery’’ subsection because the ‘‘Pregnancy’’ subsection includes information on labor and delivery. The final rule also required that the labeling include relevant information about pregnancy testing, contraception, and infertility for health care providers prescribing for females and males of reproductive potential. In addition, the final rule provided for a 10-year implementation schedule for compliance with the relevant regulations. As the implementation schedule is realized, FDA plans to discontinue this separate information collection and incorporate the provisions into existing collections as appropriate. The content and format requirements apply to: • Applications submitted on or after June 30, 2015 (§§ 314.50 (21 CFR 314.50), 314.70(b) (21 CFR 314.70(b)), 601.2 (21 CFR 601.2), and 601.12(f)(1)) (21 CFR 601.12(f)(1)); • amendments to applications pending on June 30, 2015 (§§ 314.60 (21 CFR 314.60), 601.2, and 601.12(f)(1)); • supplements to applications approved from June 30, 2001, to June 30, 2015 (§§ 314.70(b) and 601.12(f)(1)); and • annual reports for applications approved before June 30, 2001, that contain a pregnancy category, to report removal of the pregnancy category letter in their labeling (§§ 314.70(d) and 601.12(f)(3)). Under § 201.57(c)(9)(i) and (ii) (21 CFR 201.57(c)(9)(i) and (ii)), holders of approved applications must provide new labeling content in a new format— that is, to rewrite the pregnancy and lactation portions of each drug’s labeling. Section 201.57(c)(9)(iii) requires that labeling must include the E:\FR\FM\12FEN1.SGM 12FEN1 6037 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 29 / Monday, February 12, 2018 / Notices new subsection 8.3, ‘‘Females and males of reproductive potential.’’ Application holders are required to submit prior approval supplements to their approved applications before distribution of the new labeling, as required in § 314.70(b) or § 601.12(f)(1) (21 CFR 601.12(f)(1)). Under 21 CFR 201.80(f)(6)(i), holders of approved applications are required to remove the pregnancy category designation (e.g., ‘‘Pregnancy Category C’’) from the ‘‘Pregnancy’’ subsection of the ‘‘Precautions’’ section of the labeling. These application holders must report the labeling change in their annual reports, as required in § 314.70(d) or § 601.12(f)(3). In the Federal Register of October 4, 2017 (82 FR 46248), we published a 60day notice requesting public comment on the proposed extension of this collection of information. Two comments were received in response to the notice, however both comments discussed specific requirements found in FDA regulations rather than the four information collection topics solicited in our notice under the PRA. We have therefore not made adjustments to our burden estimate for the information collection, which is as follows: TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL THIRD-PARTY DISCLOSURE BURDEN 1 Type of submission (21 CFR section) Number of respondents New NDAs/ANDAs/BLAs/efficacy supplements submitted on or after June 30, 2015, including amendments to applications pending as of June 30, 2015 (§§ 314.50, 314.60, 314.70(b), 601.2, 601.12(f)(1)). 1 There Number of disclosures per respondent ∼10 390 Total annual disclosures 4,000 (Submitted during 10-year period after June 30, 2015). Average burden per disclosure 40 Total hours 160,000 are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. TABLE 2—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN 1 Type of submission (21 CFR section) Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent Supplements to applications approved June 30, 2001 to June 30, 2015 (§§ 314.70(b), 601.12(f)(1)). Annual report submission of revised labeling for applications that contain a pregnancy category, approved before June 30, 2001 (§§ 314.70(d), 601.12(f)(3)). 390 26 320 ∼17 Total ............................................................... ........................ ........................ daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES 1 There Total annual responses 10,150 (Submitted 3rd, 4th, and 5th years after June 30, 2015). 5,500 (Submitted 3rd year after June 30, 2015). ....................................... Average burden per response Total hours 120 1,218,000 40 220,000 ........................ 1,438,000 are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. As indicated in tables 1 and 2, we estimate the burden associated with the information collection to be 1,598,000 hours. We estimate 4,000 applications containing the subject labeling will be submitted by approximately 390 applicants and repackagers and relabelers to FDA over the 10-year period beginning June 30, 2015. This figure (4,000 applications) includes labeling for approximately 800 applications submitted under section 505(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 505(b)) or section 351 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 262), 1,200 applications submitted under section 505(j) of the FD&C Act, and 2,000 revised drug product labeling from repackagers and relabelers for approximately 2,000. This estimate also includes labeling amendments submitted to FDA for applications pending as of the effective date of the final rule. We estimate it will take applicants 40 hours to prepare and submit the subject labeling. This VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:23 Feb 09, 2018 Jkt 244001 estimate applies only to the requirements found in the previous paragraphs and does not indicate the total hours required to prepare and submit complete labeling for these applications. The information collection burden to prepare and submit labeling in accordance with §§ 201.56 (21 CFR 201.56), 201.57, and 201.80 is approved by OMB under control numbers 0910– 0572 and 0910–0001. In addition, during the third, fourth, and fifth years after the effective date of the final rule, the Agency estimates that it will receive approximately 10,150 supplements to applications that were either approved from June 30, 2001, to the effective date or were pending as of the effective date. This estimate includes supplements for approximately 1,080 new drug application (NDAs), and biologics license applications (BLAs), and efficacy supplements; 1,320 abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) supplements; and 7,750 drug product labeling supplements from repackagers and relabelers. FDA PO 00000 Frm 00063 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 estimates 390 application holders, repackagers, and relabelers will submit these supplements, and that it will take 120 hours to prepare and submit each supplement. Finally, we estimate that application holders will submit 5,500 annual reports to FDA during the third year after the effective date for applications that contain a pregnancy category, approved before June 30, 2001. This estimate includes approximately 1,340 NDAs and BLAs and approximately 4,160 ANDAs containing labeling changes as a result of the final rule. FDA estimates that approximately 320 application holders will submit these annual reports, and that it will take approximately 40 hours for each submission. The burden for this information collection has not increased since the last collection.

L. 100–670) generally provide that a patent may be extended for a period of up to 5 years so long as the patented item (human drug product, animal drug product, medical device, food additive, or color additive) was subject to regulatory review by FDA before the item was marketed. Under these acts, a product’s regulatory review period forms the basis for determining the amount of extension an applicant may receive. A regulatory review period consists of two periods of time: A testing phase and an approval phase. For human drug products, the testing phase begins when the exemption to permit the clinical investigations of the drug becomes effective and runs until the approval phase begins.

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.

Content and Format of Labeling for Human Prescription Drugs and 
Biological Products; Requirements for Pregnancy and Lactation Labeling

OMB Control Number 0910-0624--Extension

    This information collection supports Agency regulations regarding 
the content and format requirements for pregnancy and lactation 
labeling. In the Federal Register of December 4, 2014 (79 FR 72064), 
FDA published a final rule entitled ``Content and Format of Labeling 
for Human Prescription Drug and Biological Products; Requirements for 
Pregnancy and Lactation Labeling.'' The final rule amended FDA 
regulations concerning the content and format of the ``Pregnancy,'' 
``Labor and delivery,'' and ``Nursing mothers'' subsections of the 
``Use in Specific Populations'' section of the labeling for human 
prescription drugs. The regulations now require, among other things, a 
summary of the risks of using a drug during pregnancy and lactation and 
a discussion of the data supporting that summary. The labeling must 
also include relevant information to help health care providers make 
prescribing decisions and counsel women about the use of drugs during 
pregnancy and lactation. The final rule eliminated the pregnancy 
categories A, B, C, D, and X. In addition, FDA eliminated the ``Labor 
and delivery'' subsection because the ``Pregnancy'' subsection includes 
information on labor and delivery. The final rule also required that 
the labeling include relevant information about pregnancy testing, 
contraception, and infertility for health care providers prescribing 
for females and males of reproductive potential. In addition, the final 
rule provided for a 10-year implementation schedule for compliance with 
the relevant regulations. As the implementation schedule is realized, 
FDA plans to discontinue this separate information collection and 
incorporate the provisions into existing collections as appropriate.
    The content and format requirements apply to:
     Applications submitted on or after June 30, 2015 
(Sec. Sec.  314.50 (21 CFR 314.50), 314.70(b) (21 CFR 314.70(b)), 601.2 
(21 CFR 601.2), and 601.12(f)(1)) (21 CFR 601.12(f)(1));
     amendments to applications pending on June 30, 2015 
(Sec. Sec.  314.60 (21 CFR 314.60), 601.2, and 601.12(f)(1));
     supplements to applications approved from June 30, 2001, 
to June 30, 2015 (Sec. Sec.  314.70(b) and 601.12(f)(1)); and
     annual reports for applications approved before June 30, 
2001, that contain a pregnancy category, to report removal of the 
pregnancy category letter in their labeling (Sec. Sec.  314.70(d) and 
601.12(f)(3)).
    Under Sec.  201.57(c)(9)(i) and (ii) (21 CFR 201.57(c)(9)(i) and 
(ii)), holders of approved applications must provide new labeling 
content in a new format--that is, to rewrite the pregnancy and 
lactation portions of each drug's labeling. Section 201.57(c)(9)(iii) 
requires that labeling must include the

[[Page 6037]]

new subsection 8.3, ``Females and males of reproductive potential.'' 
Application holders are required to submit prior approval supplements 
to their approved applications before distribution of the new labeling, 
as required in Sec.  314.70(b) or Sec.  601.12(f)(1) (21 CFR 
601.12(f)(1)).
    Under 21 CFR 201.80(f)(6)(i), holders of approved applications are 
required to remove the pregnancy category designation (e.g., 
``Pregnancy Category C'') from the ``Pregnancy'' subsection of the 
``Precautions'' section of the labeling. These application holders must 
report the labeling change in their annual reports, as required in 
Sec.  314.70(d) or Sec.  601.12(f)(3).
    In the Federal Register of October 4, 2017 (82 FR 46248), we 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
extension of this collection of information. Two comments were received 
in response to the notice, however both comments discussed specific 
requirements found in FDA regulations rather than the four information 
collection topics solicited in our notice under the PRA. We have 
therefore not made adjustments to our burden estimate for the 
information collection, which is as follows:

\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of
  information.

    As indicated in tables 1 and 2, we estimate the burden associated 
with the information collection to be 1,598,000 hours. We estimate 
4,000 applications containing the subject labeling will be submitted by 
approximately 390 applicants and repackagers and relabelers to FDA over 
the 10-year period beginning June 30, 2015. This figure (4,000 
applications) includes labeling for approximately 800 applications 
submitted under section 505(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 
Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 505(b)) or section 351 of the Public Health 
Service Act (42 U.S.C. 262), 1,200 applications submitted under section 
505(j) of the FD&C Act, and 2,000 revised drug product labeling from 
repackagers and relabelers for approximately 2,000. This estimate also 
includes labeling amendments submitted to FDA for applications pending 
as of the effective date of the final rule. We estimate it will take 
applicants 40 hours to prepare and submit the subject labeling. This 
estimate applies only to the requirements found in the previous 
paragraphs and does not indicate the total hours required to prepare 
and submit complete labeling for these applications. The information 
collection burden to prepare and submit labeling in accordance with 
Sec. Sec.  201.56 (21 CFR 201.56), 201.57, and 201.80 is approved by 
OMB under control numbers 0910-0572 and 0910-0001.
    In addition, during the third, fourth, and fifth years after the 
effective date of the final rule, the Agency estimates that it will 
receive approximately 10,150 supplements to applications that were 
either approved from June 30, 2001, to the effective date or were 
pending as of the effective date. This estimate includes supplements 
for approximately 1,080 new drug application (NDAs), and biologics 
license applications (BLAs), and efficacy supplements; 1,320 
abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) supplements; and 7,750 drug 
product labeling supplements from repackagers and relabelers. FDA 
estimates 390 application holders, repackagers, and relabelers will 
submit these supplements, and that it will take 120 hours to prepare 
and submit each supplement.
    Finally, we estimate that application holders will submit 5,500 
annual reports to FDA during the third year after the effective date 
for applications that contain a pregnancy category, approved before 
June 30, 2001. This estimate includes approximately 1,340 NDAs and BLAs 
and approximately 4,160 ANDAs containing labeling changes as a result 
of the final rule. FDA estimates that approximately 320 application 
holders will submit these annual reports, and that it will take 
approximately 40 hours for each submission. The burden for this 
information collection has not increased since the last collection.
