SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry 
entitled ``ANDAs for Certain Highly Purified Synthetic Peptide Drug 
Products That Refer to Listed Drugs of rDNA Origin.'' This guidance is 
intended to assist potential applicants in determining when an 
application for a synthetic peptide drug product that refers to a 
previously approved peptide drug product of rDNA origin should be 
submitted as an ANDA under section 505(j) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 
355(j)) rather than as an NDA under section 505(b) of the FD&C Act.
    This guidance finalizes the draft guidance entitled ``ANDAs for 
Certain Highly Purified Synthetic Peptide Drug Products That Refer to 
Listed Drugs of rDNA Origin'' issued on October 3, 2017 (82 FR 46075). 
FDA considered comments received on the draft guidance as the guidance 
was finalized. In addition, editorial changes were made to improve 
clarity.
    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 ``ANDAs for Certain Highly Purified 
Synthetic Peptide Drug Products That Refer to Listed Drugs of rDNA 
Origin.'' 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

    While this guidance contains no collection of information, it does 
refer to previously approved FDA collections of information. Therefore, 
clearance by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521) is not required 
for this guidance. The previously approved collection of information 
required under 21 CFR part 314 for the submission of NDAs and ANDAs is 
approved under OMB control number 0910-0001, and the submission of 
controlled correspondence pertaining to ANDAs is approved under OMB 
control number 0910-0797.
