clinical trials, and when necessary, to
initiate removal of a drug from the

Respondents to this collection of
information are manufacturers, packers,
distributors, and applicants. The
following estimates are based on FDA’s

The burden associated with table 2
has increased due to the electronic
Safety Reporting Rule that mandated
sponsors to submit ALL reports
electronically by September 2016. Prior
to this date, FDA did not enter all
individual report data in document
tracking systems or count some types of
paper-based nonexpedited reports (i.e.,
those describing adverse events that are
both nonserious and previously
labeled). With required electronic
reporting of all reports and each report
counted separately, the total number of
records and required recordkeeping also
increased.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Agenda: The committees will discuss
results from assessments of the
transmucosal immediate-release
fentanyl (TIRF) medicines’ risk
evaluation and mitigation strategy
(REMS), approved in December 2011.
The TIRF REMS requires that healthcare
providers who prescribe TIRF
medicines for outpatient use are
specially certified, that pharmacies that
dispense TIRF medicines for inpatient
and outpatient use are specially
certified, and that completion of the
prescriber-patient agreement form
occurs prior to dispensing TIRF
medicines for outpatient use. The
Agency will seek the committees’
assessment as to whether this REMS
with elements to assure safe use
(ETASU) assures safe use, is not unduly
burdensome to patient access to the
drugs, and to the extent practicable,
minimizes the burden to the healthcare
delivery system. The Agency will also
seek the committees’ input on any
possible modifications to the TIRF
REMS goals and requirements, as well
as input on the adequacy of the
evaluations conducted in the REMS
assessments to determine whether the
TIRF REMS goals are being met.
Comments from the public can be
submitted to the docket (see ADDRESSES
section) on a broad evaluation of the
TIRF REMS and whether any aspect of
the TIRF REMS should be modified as
well as any proposed modifications.
FDA intends to make background
material available to the public no later
than 2 business days before the meeting.
If FDA is unable to post the background
material on its website prior to the
meeting, the background material will
be made publicly available at the
location of the advisory committee
meeting, and the background material
will be posted on FDA’s website after
the meeting. Background material is

The TIRF REMS requires that healthcare providers who prescribe TIRF

The Agency will also seek the committees' input on any possible
modifications to the TIRF REMS goals and requirements, as well as input
on the adequacy of the evaluations conducted in the REMS assessments to
determine whether the TIRF REMS goals are being met. Comments from the
public can be submitted to the docket (see ADDRESSES section) on a
