Proposed Collection; 60-Day Comment Request; Requests for NIH Certificates of Confidentiality, 40426-40427 [2019-17358]

Download as PDF 40426 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 157 / Wednesday, August 14, 2019 / Notices jspears on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES CPSC’s regulations list ‘‘special packaging standards’’ for a wide range of household products, including most oral prescription drugs and many nonprescription drug products (see 16 CFR 1700 for substances requiring special packaging and the relevant packaging standards and testing procedures). It should be noted that ‘‘child-resistant’’ should not be equated with ‘‘child-proof,’’ because CRP is not designed to completely eliminate the possibility of an accidental pediatric ingestion. It can only impede access to harmful products and is recognized by public health experts as only one component of preventing these events. There are different ways to make packaging child-resistant, with the most common forms being a child-resistant closure (e.g., a ‘‘safety cap’’) and certain unit-dose blister packaging (e.g., puncture-resistant and peel-push blisters). FDA advocates that all drugs, irrespective of the type of packaging, be stored safely out of reach and sight of children to further the overall public health efforts to address this safety issue. Because health care professionals and consumers may not be able to determine on visual inspection whether the packaging is child-resistant, a labeling statement may help to identify this attribute. Therefore, in this guidance, we recommend text that may be appropriate to consider when including CRP statements in labeling. All of the stakeholder comments on the draft guidance were carefully reviewed and, where appropriate, clarifying edits were made in the final guidance. This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the current thinking of FDA on ‘‘Child-Resistant Packaging Statements in Drug Product Labeling.’’ It does not establish any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the public. You can use an alternative approach if it satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. This guidance is not subject to Executive Order 12866. II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 This guidance refers to previously approved collections of information that are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). The collection of information for submitting labeling in original and supplemental new drug applications (NDAs), and abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs), and biologics license applications (BLAs) in 21 CFR 314.50(e) and (l), 314.94(a)(8), VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:56 Aug 13, 2019 Jkt 247001 314.70, and 314.97, and 21 CFR 601.2 and 601.12 has been approved under OMB control number 0910–0001 and 0910–0338, respectively. The collection of information for preparing prescription drug product labeling under 21 CFR 201.56 and 201.57 has been approved under OMB control number 0910–0572. The collection of information for Drug Facts labeling under 21 CFR 201.66 has been approved under OMB control number 0910–0340. The collection of information for Medication Guides has been approved under OMB control number 0910–0393. The collection of information for submitting chemistry, manufacturing, and controls information in original and supplemental NDAs, ANDAs, and BLAs in 21 CFR 314.50(d)(1), 314.94(a)(9), 314.70, and 314.97, and 21 CFR 601.2 and 601.12 has been approved under OMB control number 0910–0001 and 0910–0338, respectively.

The streamlined NIH CoC electronic system will have seven sections of structured or short text fields. The information provided will be used to determine eligibility for a CoC and to issue the CoC to the requesting organization. Eligible requesting organizations that provide legally binding affirmations that they will abide by the terms of the CoC would be issued a Certificate of Confidentiality.
