submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for 
review and clearance.

Application for FDA Approval To Market a New Drug; OMB Control No. 
0910-0001--Revision

    This information collection supports FDA regulations. Under section 
505(a) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 
U.S.C. 355(a)), a new drug may not be commercially marketed in the 
United States unless an approval of an application filed with FDA under 
section 505(b) or (j) of the FD&C Act is effective with respect to such 
drug. We have issued regulations in part 314 (21 CFR part 314) to 
govern procedures and requirements for applications submitted in 
accordance with section 505. The regulations in subpart A (Sec. Sec.  
314.1 through 314.3) set forth general provisions, while regulations in 
subparts B and C (Sec. Sec.  314.50 through 314.99) set forth content 
and format requirements for new drug applications (NDAs) and 
abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) respectively. The regulations 
include requirements for the submission of specific data elements along 
with patent information, pediatric use information, supplements and 
amendments, proposed labeling, and specific postmarketing reports. 
Respondents to the information collection are sponsors of these 
applications.
    To assist respondents to the information collection we have 
developed the following forms:
     Form FDA 0356h (and instructions): Application to Market a 
New or Abbreviated New Drug or Biologic for Human Use;
     Form FDA 2252 (and instructions): Transmittal of Annual 
Reports for Drugs and Biologics For Human Use (Sec.  314.81);

     New Draft Form FDA 3898 and Instruction: Drug Master File
    Individuals requesting printed forms are instructed to contact the 
FDA Forms Manager by email at [email protected]. Certain fees may 
be applicable.
    Regulations in subpart D (Sec. Sec.  314.100 through 314.170) 
explain Agency actions on applications and set forth timeframes for FDA 
review. We are revising the information collection to include 
provisions established through our Agency user fee programs, most 
recently authorized under the FDA Reauthorization Act of 2017. These 
provisions pertain to review transparency, communications with FDA, 
dispute resolution, drug safety enhancements, and the allocation of 
Agency resources to align with these program objectives as agreed to 
with our stakeholders and set forth in our ``Performance Goals for 
Fiscal Years 2018-2022'' Commitment Letters, which are available from 
our website at https://www.fda.gov along with more information about 
FDA user fee programs.
    Information collection pertaining to hearing and other 
administrative proceedings covered in 21 CFR subpart E are approved 
under OMB control no. 0910-0191. Unless otherwise noted, information 
collection pertaining to postmarket safety reporting and associated 
recordkeeping is approved under OMB control nos. 0910-0230, 0910-0291, 
and 0910-0645.
    Included among the miscellaneous provisions in subpart G 
(Sec. Sec.  314.410 to 314.445), Sec.  314.420 covers information to 
include in drug master files (DMFs). To assist respondents to this 
information collection we have prepared templates and resources 
available from our website at www.fda.gov/drugs/forms-submission-requirements/drug-master-files-dmfs. As noted above, we have developed 
new Form FDA 3898 and accompanying instructions on submitting DMFs in 
accordance with the applicable regulations. In accordance with Sec.  
314.445, we also develop Agency guidance documents to assist 
respondents in complying with provisions in part 314. These guidance 
documents are issued consistent with our good guidance practice 
regulations at Sec.  10.115. To search available FDA guidance 
documents, visit our website at https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents. Finally, applications 
submitted in accordance with subpart H (Sec. Sec.  314.500 through 
314.560) pertain to accelerated approval of new drugs for serious or 
life-threatening illness, and submissions in subpart I (Sec. Sec.  
314.600 through 314.650) pertain to approval of new drugs when human 
efficacy studies are not ethical or feasible. The regulations provide 
for the submission of specific data elements along with promotional 
material.
    We use the information collection to approve drugs shown to be safe 
and effective and to implement effective public health monitoring 
systems. We also use product approval and related patent and 
exclusivity information to publish the ``Approved Drug Products with 
Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations'' list (the Orange Book). More 
information regarding the Orange Book is available from our website at 
https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-approvals-and-databases/approved-drug-products-therapeutic-equivalence-evaluations-orange-book.
