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: Prescription Drug Product Labeling; Medication Guide Requirements OMB Control Number 0910–0393— Extension FDA regulations require the distribution of patient labeling, called Medication Guides, for certain prescription human drug and biological products used primarily on an outpatient basis that pose a serious and significant public health concern. Medication Guides provide patients the most important information about drug products, including the drugs’ approved uses, contraindications, adverse drug reactions, and cautions for specific populations. These regulations are intended to improve the public health by providing information necessary for patients to use certain medications safely and effectively. The regulations contain the following reporting requirements that are subject to the PRA: • § 208.20 (21 CFR 208.20)— Applicants must submit draft Medication Guides for FDA approval according to the prescribed content and format. • §§ 314.70(b)(3)(ii) and 601.12(f) (21 CFR 314.70(b)(3)(ii) and 21 CFR 601.12(f))—Application holders must submit changes to Medication Guides as supplements to their applications to FDA for approval. • § 208.24(c) (21 CFR 208.24(c))— Each distributor or packer who receives Medication Guides, or the means to produce Medication Guides, from a manufacturer under paragraph (b) of this section shall provide those Medication Guides to each authorized dispenser to whom it ships a drug product. E:\FR\FM\21AUN1.SGM 21AUN1 43609 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 162 / Wednesday, August 21, 2019 / Notices • § 208.24(e) (21 CFR 208.24(e))— Each authorized dispenser of a prescription drug product for which a Medication Guide is required must provide a Medication Guide directly to each patient when dispensing the product to the patient or to the patient’s agent, unless an exemption applies under § 208.26 (21 CFR 208.26). • § 208.26(a)—Requests may be submitted for an exemption or a deferral from particular Medication Guide content or format requirements. In the Federal Register of October 26, 2018 (83 FR 54110), we published a 60day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. One comment was received encouraging the use of ‘‘provider- neutral language’’ in places where terms such as ‘‘doctor’’ or ‘‘physician’’ are used suggesting that these terms may cause some confusion for patients. We are appreciative of this recommendation; however, we decline to implement such changes.

Prescription Drug Product Labeling; Medication Guide Requirements

OMB Control Number 0910-0393--Extension

    FDA regulations require the distribution of patient labeling, 
called Medication Guides, for certain prescription human drug and 
biological products used primarily on an outpatient basis that pose a 
serious and significant public health concern. Medication Guides 
provide patients the most important information about drug products, 
including the drugs' approved uses, contraindications, adverse drug 
reactions, and cautions for specific populations. These regulations are 
intended to improve the public health by providing information 
necessary for patients to use certain medications safely and 
effectively.
    The regulations contain the following reporting requirements that 
are subject to the PRA:
     Sec.  208.20 (21 CFR 208.20)--Applicants must submit draft 
Medication Guides for FDA approval according to the prescribed content 
and format.
     Sec. Sec.  314.70(b)(3)(ii) and 601.12(f) (21 CFR 
314.70(b)(3)(ii) and 21 CFR 601.12(f))--Application holders must submit 
changes to Medication Guides as supplements to their applications to 
FDA for approval.
     Sec.  208.24(c) (21 CFR 208.24(c))--Each distributor or 
packer who receives Medication Guides, or the means to produce 
Medication Guides, from a manufacturer under paragraph (b) of this 
section shall provide those Medication Guides to each authorized 
dispenser to whom it ships a drug product.

[[Page 43609]]

     Sec.  208.24(e) (21 CFR 208.24(e))--Each authorized 
dispenser of a prescription drug product for which a Medication Guide 
is required must provide a Medication Guide directly to each patient 
when dispensing the product to the patient or to the patient's agent, 
unless an exemption applies under Sec.  208.26 (21 CFR 208.26).
     Sec.  208.26(a)--Requests may be submitted for an 
exemption or a deferral from particular Medication Guide content or 
format requirements.
    In the Federal Register of October 26, 2018 (83 FR 54110), we 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. One comment was received encouraging the use 
of ``provider-neutral language'' in places where terms such as 
``doctor'' or ``physician'' are used suggesting that these terms may 
cause some confusion for patients. We are appreciative of this 
recommendation; however, we decline to implement such changes.
    We estimate the burden of this collection of information as

    Our estimated annual reporting burden for the information

attribute this adjustment to an increase in the number of submissions 
we received over the last few years. Based on a review of the

made no adjustments to our annual third-party disclosure burden 
estimate.
