SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3521), Federal
Agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal
Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, FDA is publishing notice
of the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document.
With respect to the following
collection of information, FDA invites
comments on these topics: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of FDA’s functions, including whether
the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
Labeling Requirements for Prescription
Drugs
OMB Control Number 0910–0572—
Revision
This information collection supports
FDA regulations governing the labeling
of prescription drugs. The regulations
are codified in 21 CFR part 201, subpart
B (21 CFR 201.50 through 201.58) and
set forth both general requirements, as
well as specific content and format
requirements. The regulations also
provide for requesting a waiver from
any labeling requirement and do not
apply to biological products that are
subject to the requirements of section
351 of the Public Health Service Act.
We are revising the information
collection to include burden associated
with regulations applicable to medical
gas labeling found in § 201.328 (21 CFR
201.328) and established by a final rule
in the Federal Register of November 18,
2016 (81 FR 81685 at 81694). While we
included corresponding changes and
adjustments resulting from the final rule
to the information collection approved
under OMB control number 0910–0139
as it pertains to good manufacturing
practice requirements and regulations in
part 211 (21 CFR part 211), we did not
make corresponding changes and
adjustments to this information
collection with regard to burden that
may be associated with labeling
requirements found in § 201.328 (81 FR
81685 at 81694).
To assist respondents with the
information collection we continue to
develop and issue guidance documents,
available from our searchable guidance
database at https://www.fda.gov/
regulatory-information/search-fdaguidance-documents. All Agency
guidance documents are issued
consistent with our good guidance
practice regulations found in 21 CFR
10.115, which provide for public
comment at any time.
We estimate the burden of the
information collection as follows:

are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.
New drug product and biological
product applicants must: (1) Design and
create prescription drug labeling
containing ‘‘Highlights,’’ ‘‘Contents,’’
and ‘‘Full Prescribing Information’’; (2)
test the designed labeling (for example,
to ensure that the designed labeling fits
into carton-enclosed products); and (3)
submit it to FDA for approval. Based on
our experience with the information
collection, we estimate 414 applicants
will prepare an average of 549
prescription drug labels and assume it
will require 3,349 hours to design, test,
and submit to FDA as part of a new drug
application or a biologics license
application. Similarly, new medical gas
containers must meet applicable
requirements found in part 211, as well
as specific labeling requirements in
§ 201.328. We estimate that 260
respondents will incur burden for the
design, testing, production, and
submission of labeling for new medical
gas containers as required under
§ 201.328 and assume an average of 10
minutes (0.17) is required for these
activities.
Our estimated burden for the
information collection reflects an
overall increase resulting from an
increase in submissions for new product
labeling as well as from the revision to
include burden associated with
requirements in § 201.328.

1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal

utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.
Labeling Requirements for Prescription Drugs
OMB Control Number 0910-0572--Revision
This information collection supports FDA regulations governing the
labeling of prescription drugs. The regulations are codified in 21 CFR
part 201, subpart B (21 CFR 201.50 through 201.58) and set forth both
general requirements, as well as specific content and format
requirements. The regulations also provide for requesting a waiver from
any labeling requirement and do not apply to biological products that
are subject to the requirements of section 351 of the Public Health
Service Act.
We are revising the information collection to include burden
associated with regulations applicable to medical gas labeling found in
Sec. 201.328 (21 CFR 201.328) and established by a final rule in the
Federal Register of November 18, 2016 (81 FR 81685 at 81694). While we
included corresponding changes and adjustments resulting from the final
rule to the information collection approved under OMB control number
0910-0139 as it pertains to good manufacturing practice requirements
and regulations in part 211 (21 CFR part 211), we did not make
corresponding changes and adjustments to this information collection
with regard to burden that may be associated with labeling requirements
found in Sec. 201.328 (81 FR 81685 at 81694).
To assist respondents with the information collection we continue
to develop and issue guidance documents, available from our searchable
guidance database at https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents. All Agency guidance documents are issued
consistent with our good guidance practice regulations found in 21 CFR
10.115, which provide for public comment at any time.
We estimate the burden of the information collection as follows:

\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.
New drug product and biological product applicants must: (1) Design
and create prescription drug labeling containing ``Highlights,''
``Contents,'' and ``Full Prescribing Information''; (2) test the
designed labeling (for example, to ensure that the designed labeling
fits into carton-enclosed products); and (3) submit it to FDA for
approval. Based on our experience with the information collection, we
estimate 414 applicants will prepare an average of 549 prescription
drug labels and assume it will require 3,349 hours to design, test, and
submit to FDA as part of a new drug application or a biologics license
application. Similarly, new medical gas containers must meet applicable
requirements found in part 211, as well as specific labeling
requirements in Sec. 201.328. We estimate that 260 respondents will
incur burden for the design, testing, production, and submission of
labeling for new medical gas containers as required under Sec. 201.328
and assume an average of 10 minutes (0.17) is required for these
activities.
Our estimated burden for the information collection reflects an
overall increase resulting from an increase in submissions for new
product labeling as well as from the revision to include burden
associated with requirements in Sec. 201.328.
