L. 104–134) amended sections 801(e) and 802 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 381(e) and 382). It was 7195 designed to ease restrictions on exportation of unapproved pharmaceuticals, biologics, and devices regulated by FDA. Section 801(e)(4) of FDAERA provides that persons exporting certain FDA-regulated products may request FDA to certify that the products meet the requirements of sections 801(e) and 802 or other requirements of the FD&C Act. This section of the law requires FDA to issue certification within 20 days of receipt of the request and to charge firms up to $175 for the certifications. In January 2011, section 801(e)(4)(A) was amended by the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (Pub. L. 111–353) to provide authorization for export certification fees for food and animal feed. This section of the FD&C Act authorizes FDA to issue export certificates for regulated food, animal feed, pharmaceuticals, biologics, and devices that are legally marketed in the United States, as well as for these same products that are not legally marketed but are acceptable to the importing country, as specified in sections 801(e) and 802 of the FD&C Act. FDA has developed various types of certificates that satisfy the requirements of section 801(e)(4)(B) of the FD&C Act. Four of those certificates are discussed in this notice: (1) Certificates to Foreign Governments, (2) Certificates of Exportability, (3) Certificates of a Pharmaceutical Product, and (4) NonClinical Research Use Only Certificates.

OMB Control Number 0910-0498--Extension

    In April 1996, the FDA Export, Reform, and Enhancement Act of 1996 
(FDAERA) (Pub. L. 104-134) amended sections 801(e) and 802 of the 
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 381(e) and 
382). It was designed to ease restrictions on exportation of unapproved 
pharmaceuticals, biologics, and devices regulated by FDA. Section 
801(e)(4) of FDAERA provides that persons exporting certain FDA-
regulated products may request FDA to certify that the products meet 
the requirements of sections 801(e) and 802 or other requirements of 
the FD&C Act. This section of the law requires FDA to issue 
certification within 20 days of receipt of the request and to charge 
firms up to $175 for the certifications. In January 2011, section 
801(e)(4)(A) was amended by the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (Pub. 
L. 111-353) to provide authorization for export certification fees for

    FDA will continue to rely on self-certification by manufacturers 
for the first three types of certificates listed in table 1. 
Manufacturers are requested to self-certify that they are in compliance 
with all applicable requirements of the FD&C Act, not only at the time 
that they submit their request to the appropriate center, but also at 
the time that they submit the certification to the foreign government.
    The appropriate FDA centers will review product information 
submitted by firms in support of their certificate and any suspected 
case of fraud will be referred to the appropriate offices.

published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed
