SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry 
entitled ``Pediatric Study Plans: Content of and Process for Submitting 
Initial Pediatric Study Plans and Amended Initial Pediatric Study 
Plans.'' The purpose of this guidance is to assist sponsors in the 
submission of an iPSP and any amendments to an iPSP. Specifically, this 
guidance addresses FDA's current thinking regarding the requirement for 
sponsors to submit an iPSP under section 505B(e) of the FD&C Act (21 
U.S.C. 355c(e)).
    This guidance finalizes the draft guidance entitled ``Pediatric 
Study Plans: Content of and Process for Submitting Initial Pediatric 
Study Plans and Amended Pediatric Study Plans'' issued March 9, 2016 
(81 FR 12508). Changes made took into consideration comments received.
    The following topics are addressed in this guidance: (1) 
Applications that require submission of an iPSP; (2) timelines for iPSP 
submission; (3) content of the iPSP; (4) the relationship of an agreed 
iPSP to the requirement to submit a pediatric study plan with a 
marketing application; (5) content and timing of a requested amendment 
to an iPSP; (6) what is meant by a non-agreed iPSP; and (7) processes 
for reaching agreement with FDA on a non-agreed iPSP. This guidance 
also includes a template that should be used for submission of an iPSP.
    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 ``Pediatric Study Plans: Content of and 
Process for Submitting Initial Pediatric Study Plans and Amended 
Pediatric Study Plans.'' 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.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This guidance contains no collection of information. Therefore, 
clearance by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the

required.
    However, this guidance refers to previously approved FDA 
collections of information. These collections of information are 
subject to review by OMB under the PRA. The collections of information 
in 21 CFR part 314 have been approved under OMB control number 0910-
0001. The collections of information in 21 CFR part 312 have been 
approved under OMB control number 0910-0014. The collections of 
information related to expedited review programs for serious conditions 
have been approved under OMB control number 0910-0765. The collections 
of information in 21 CFR part 601 have been approved under OMB control
