Final. * The draft Q&A continues to be available in the New and Revised Draft Q&A Guidance (Revision 3). All other draft Q&As are available in the Additional Draft Q&A Guidance. This guidance finalizes all but three of the Q&As that were included in the draft guidance ‘‘New and Revised Draft Q&As on Biosimilar Development and the BPCI Act (Revision 2)’’ issued on December 12, 2018. FDA considered comments it received regarding these Q&As, and made changes to the Q&As, as appropriate; for example, providing additional and clearer information in Q.I.16 and providing additional information about text in the labeling for a biosimilar in Q.I.22. FDA also made certain clarifying and editorial changes to update previously finalized Q&As. Editorial changes were made primarily for clarification. FDA has retained Q.I.12 in draft and transferred it to ‘‘New and Revised Draft Q&As on Biosimilar Development and the BPCI Act (Revision 3).’’ This draft Q&A addresses how an applicant can demonstrate that its proposed injectable biosimilar product or proposed injectable interchangeable product has the same ‘‘strength’’ as the reference product. FDA withdrew Q.I.23, which addressed a process for obtaining certain letters related to reference product access for testing for products with risk evaluation and mitigation strategy with elements to assure safe use. In light of the enactment of the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 (FCA Act) (Pub. L. 116–94), which includes provisions related to this topic (see Division N, section 610, of the FCA Act (21 U.S.C. 355–2)), FDA intends to issue guidance describing how the existing process for obtaining these letters is being aligned with the framework set forth in the new law. FDA also withdrew Q.II.1, which addressed the definition of ‘‘protein.’’ For information on the definition of ‘‘protein’’ in section 351(i)(1) of the PHS Act, see the final rule entitled ‘‘Definition of the Term ‘Biological Product’ ’’ (85 FR 10057, February 21, 2020; 21 CFR 600.3(h)(6)). 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 ‘‘Questions and Answers on Biosimilar Development and the BPCI Act.’’ It does not establish VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:49 Sep 17, 2021 Jkt 253001 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. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES II.

ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: HRSA is publishing this notice of petitions received under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (the Program), as required by the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended. While the Secretary of HHS is named as the respondent in all proceedings brought by the filing of petitions for compensation under the Program, the United States Court of Federal Claims is charged by statute SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:49 Sep 17, 2021 Jkt 253001 with responsibility for considering and acting upon the petitions. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information about requirements for filing petitions, and the Program in general, contact Lisa L. Reyes, Clerk of Court, United States Court of Federal Claims, 717 Madison Place, NW, Washington, DC 20005, (202) 357–6400. For information on HRSA’s role in the Program, contact the Director, National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, 5600 Fishers Lane, Room 08N146B, Rockville, Maryland 20857; (301) 443– 6593, or visit our website at: https:// www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation/ index.html. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Program provides a system of no-fault compensation for certain individuals who have been injured by specified childhood vaccines. Subtitle 2 of Title XXI of the PHS Act, 42 U.S.C. 300aa– 10 et seq., provides that those seeking compensation are to file a petition with the United States Court of Federal Claims and to serve a copy of the petition to the Secretary of HHS, who is named as the respondent in each proceeding. The Secretary has delegated this responsibility under the Program to HRSA. The Court is directed by statute to appoint special masters who take evidence, conduct hearings as appropriate, and make initial decisions as to eligibility for, and amount of, compensation. A petition may be filed with respect to injuries, disabilities, illnesses, conditions, and deaths resulting from vaccines described in the Vaccine Injury Table (the Table) set forth at 42 CFR 100.3. This Table lists for each covered childhood vaccine the conditions that may lead to compensation and, for each condition, the time period for occurrence of the first symptom or manifestation of onset or of significant aggravation after vaccine administration. Compensation may also be awarded for conditions not listed in the Table and for conditions that are manifested outside the time periods specified in the Table, but only if the petitioner shows that the condition was caused by one of the listed vaccines. Section 2112(b)(2) of the PHS Act, 42 U.S.C. 300aa–12(b)(2), requires that ‘‘[w]ithin 30 days after the Secretary receives service of any petition filed under section 2111 the Secretary shall publish notice of such petition in the Federal Register.’’ Set forth below is a list of petitions received by HRSA on August 1, 2021, through August 31, 2021. This list provides the name of petitioner, city and state of vaccination (if unknown then city and state of PO 00000 Frm 00035 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 52157 person or attorney filing claim), and case number. In cases where the Court has redacted the name of a petitioner and/or the case number, the list reflects such redaction. Section 2112(b)(2) also provides that the special master ‘‘shall afford all interested persons an opportunity to submit relevant, written information’’ relating to the following: 1. The existence of evidence ‘‘that there is not a preponderance of the evidence that the illness, disability, injury, condition, or death described in the petition is due to factors unrelated to the administration of the vaccine described in the petition,’’ and 2. Any allegation in a petition that the petitioner either: a. ‘‘[S]ustained, or had significantly aggravated, any illness, disability, injury, or condition not set forth in the Vaccine Injury Table but which was caused by’’ one of the vaccines referred to in the Table, or b. ‘‘[S]ustained, or had significantly aggravated, any illness, disability, injury, or condition set forth in the Vaccine Injury Table the first symptom or manifestation of the onset or significant aggravation of which did not occur within the time period set forth in the Table but which was caused by a vaccine’’ referred to in the Table. In accordance with Section 2112(b)(2), all interested persons may submit written information relevant to the issues described above in the case of the petitions listed below. Any person choosing to do so should file an original and three (3) copies of the information with the Clerk of the United States Court of Federal Claims at the address listed above (under the heading ‘‘For Further Information Contact’’), with a copy to HRSA addressed to Director, Division of Injury Compensation Programs, Healthcare Systems Bureau, 5600 Fishers Lane, 08N146B, Rockville, Maryland 20857.
