In this document, the Commission eliminates the radio duplication rule, which restricts the duplication of programming on commonly owned stations operating in the same geographic area, for both AM and FM stations to reflect technological and marketplace changes since the current version of the rule was adopted in 1992. This approach will strike an appropriate balance between fostering our public interest goals of promoting competition and diversity and affording broadcast radio licensees greater flexibility to address issues of local concern in a timely fashion, facilitate digital broadcasting by AM stations, and ultimately allow stations to improve service to their communities.

Forms FDA 3988, Transmittal of PMR/PMC Submissions for Drugs and Biologics, and FDA 3989, PMR/PMC Annual Status Report for Drugs and Biologics, are intended to facilitate submissions by drug and biological product application holders of complete and accurate information on postmarketing requirements (PMRs) and postmarketing commitments (PMCs) in a consistent format. Forms FDA 3988 and 3989 are published in draft form in Appendix A and B of the draft guidance for comment and are not intended to be used until the forms are finalized. The forms were developed, in part, in response to the recommendations from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) regarding the need for comparable information across annual status reports (ASRs) on PMRs and PMCs, to eliminate manual data entry, and to enhance FDA's ability to track PMRs and PMCs. These forms are expected to result in improved accuracy and timeliness of FDA's identification and review of those submissions containing information on PMRs and PMCs. This draft guidance covers the purpose of each form, when to use these forms, and how to submit these forms. The draft guidance also explains where applicants will be able to find the forms and instructions for their completion once the forms and instructions are finalized.
