(r) Late-breaking information. The DSUR must describe any potentially important safety information about the investigational drug or the clinical investigations conducted under the IND that was identified by the sponsor during preparation of the DSUR and after the data lock point. (s) Overall safety assessment. (1) The DSUR must provide an overall safety assessment that is a concise, integrated evaluation of all new clinical, nonclinical, and epidemiological safety information obtained about the drug by the sponsor during the reporting period relative to the sponsor’s prior knowledge of the drug, including knowledge obtained by the sponsor during any prior reporting periods. The assessment must include an evaluation of the risks associated with use of the drug that includes an interpretation of new safety information relative to the safety information that was previously obtained by the sponsor. The overall safety assessment must include the following items: (i) Findings that suggest a significant risk in humans exposed to the drug, with any associated laboratory values, and relationship to dose, duration, or time course of exposure, if known. (ii) Significant changes in information concerning adverse events that were identified in a previous DSUR. (iii) Deaths that were previously included in an IND safety report required in § 312.32. (iv) Subjects who withdrew from a clinical investigation because of an adverse event. (v) Findings that suggest a significant risk to specific populations. (vi) Drug overdose, misuse, and abuse cases or findings regarding the potential for abuse to occur. (vii) Risks associated with long-term exposure. (viii) Risks associated with the method of administration of the drug, diagnostic procedures related to use of the drug, or other procedures described in a protocol. (ix) Evidence of clinically significant medication errors. (x) Drug interactions. (xi) Any other risks that significantly affect the safety assessment of the drug. (2) The overall safety assessment must describe the balance between benefits, including theoretical or anticipated VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:15 Dec 08, 2022 Jkt 259001 benefits, and cumulative identified risks related to use of the drug. The overall safety assessment must also describe changes to the benefit-risk profile compared to the previous DSUR, based on information obtained during the reporting period. (t) Summary of important risks. The DSUR must provide a cumulative listing, along with a brief description, of all the important known risks and potential risks associated with use of the drug identified by the sponsor during the course of clinical and nonclinical investigations of the drug conducted on behalf of the sponsor. The listing must include a description of each risk. Risks identified by the sponsor in a prior reporting period must be re-evaluated annually, and their descriptions must be updated with any new risk information obtained during the reporting period. (u) Conclusion. The DSUR must briefly summarize the following information: (1) All changes to the sponsor’s previous knowledge of the investigational drug’s efficacy and safety resulting from information obtained during this reporting period. (2) An outline of actions that have been taken by the sponsor during the current reporting period to address emerging safety findings. (3) All additional actions that will be taken in the future by the sponsor to address emerging safety findings, to the extent known. Dated: November 29, 2022. Robert M. Califf, Commissioner of Food and Drugs.

ACTION: Proposed rule; request for comments. AGENCY: NMFS proposes regulations to implement Amendment 123 to the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area (BSAI). If approved, the proposed rule would amend regulations governing limits on Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) (halibut) prohibited species catch (PSC), or bycatch, in the BSAI. Namely, the proposed amendment would link the halibut PSC limit to halibut abundance for the Amendment 80 commercial groundfish trawl fleet in the BSAI groundfish fisheries. This action responds to the obligation in section 303(a)(11) of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) to minimize bycatch to the extent practicable, and is consistent with the Magnuson-Stevens Act national standards. This action: minimizes halibut PSC to the extent practicable under National Standard 9; ensures that the FMP will continue to achieve optimum yield in the BSAI groundfish fisheries on a continuing basis under National Standard 1; is based upon the best scientific information available under National Standard 2; to the extent it involves an allocation of fishing privileges, is fair and equitable, reasonably promotes conservation by reducing incidental halibut mortality caused by the Amendment 80 trawl fleet, and does not result in any excessive shares of fishing privileges under National Standard 4; and takes into account the importance of fishery resources to fishing communities under National Standard 8. The action is expected to provide incentives for the Amendment 80 fleet to minimize halibut mortality at all times and conserve and improve bycatch SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00053 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 management of the halibut resource, and it may result in additional harvest opportunities in the commercial halibut fishery.
