SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES I. Background FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled ‘‘Drug Master Files.’’ Once finalized, this guidance will provide FDA’s current thinking on DMFs, which are submissions to FDA that may be used to provide confidential, detailed information about facilities, processes, or articles used in the manufacturing, processing, packaging, and storing of human drug products. DMFs are submitted solely at the discretion of their holders and are not required by statute or regulation. After submission, VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:52 Oct 18, 2019 Jkt 250001 information in DMFs can be incorporated by reference into applications 1 or other DMFs submitted to FDA. This draft guidance, when finalized, will revise the guidance for industry ‘‘Drug Master Files: Guidelines’’ that published in September 1989. This update includes a change in FDA’s contact person for the guidance, new procedures for DMFs referenced in abbreviated new drug applications that reflect commitments under the Generic Drug User Fee Amendments of 2012 (Pub. L. No. 112–144, Title III; reauthorized in 2017, Pub. L. 115–52), more detailed instructions regarding the submission of original DMFs versus amendments, reference to the electronic submission requirements under section 745A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 379k–1) that apply to certain DMFs, removal of Type I as a DMF category, and clarification and reorganization of material associated with Type III and Type IV DMFs. This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on ‘‘Drug Master Files.’’ It does not establish any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the public.

Overview of This Information Collection

    Title: Arrival and Departure Record, Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver 
Arrival/Departure, Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA).
    OMB Number: 1651-0111.
    Form Numbers: CBP Forms I-94 and I-94W.
    Current Actions: This submission is being made to extend the

    Affected Public: Individuals.
    Abstract: Forms I-94 (Arrival/Departure Record) and I-94W 
(Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver Arrival/Departure Record) are used to 
document a traveler's admission into the United States. These forms are 
filled out by aliens and are used to collect information on 
citizenship, residency, passport, and contact information. The data 
elements collected on these forms enable the Department of Homeland 
Security (DHS) to perform its mission related to the screening of alien 
visitors for potential risks to national security and the determination 
of admissibility to the United States. The Electronic System for Travel 
Authorization (ESTA) applies to aliens seeking to travel to the United 
States under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) and requires that VWP 
travelers provide information electronically to CBP before embarking on 
travel to the United States without a visa. Travelers who are entering 
the United States under the VWP in the air or sea environment, and who 
have a travel authorization obtained through ESTA, are not required to 
complete the paper Form I-94W. I-94 is provided for by 8 CFR 235.1(h), 
ESTA is provided for by 8 CFR 217.5.

Recent Changes

    On November 27, 2017, the Secretary of State designated DPRK, as a 
State Sponsor of Terrorism, or SST. Countries determined by the 
Secretary of State ``to have repeatedly provided support for acts of 
international terrorism'' are considered to have been designated as 
``state sponsors of terrorism.''
    Section 217(a)(12)(A)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 
U.S.C. 1187(a)(12)(A)(i) bars from travel under the Visa Waiver Program 
(VWP) nationals of VWP program countries who have ``been present, at 
any time on or after March 1, 2011,'' . . . ``in a country that is 
designated by the Secretary of State'' as a SST.
    To meet the requirements and intent of the law and to keep ESTA and 
Form I-94W aligned, DHS is strengthening the security of the United 
States through enhancements to the ESTA application, and Form I-94W. 
Existing questions that request information from applicants/enrollees 
about countries to which they have traveled on or after March 1, 2011; 
countries of which they are citizens/nationals; and countries for which 
they hold passports are being revised to include, the DPRK.
    Under the Emergency Clearance request process DHS has recently 
added DPRK to the following question to ESTA and Form I-94W (no change 
has been made to Form I-94): ``Have you traveled to, or been present in 
Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, or the Democratic
