Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 238 / Tuesday, December 13, 2022 / Notices We developed Form FDA 5009, OverThe-Counter Monograph User Fee Cover Sheet, (available at https://www.fda.gov/ about-fda/reports-manuals-forms/forms, Search for Form FDA 5009) to facilitate the submission of OMUFA fees and to more efficiently administer the OMUFA program. Form FDA 5009 provides FDA with necessary information to determine the total user fee payment amount required and to help the Agency track payments. Respondents to this collection are qualifying finished dosage form manufacturers of OTC monograph drugs and submitters of qualifying OMORs submitted under section 505G(b)(5) of the FD&C Act. 76203 In the Federal Register of September 9, 2022 (87 FR 55440) we published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. No comments were received. We estimate the burden of the collection of information as follows: TABLE 3—ESTIMATED ANNUAL OMUFA REPORTING BURDEN 1 Number of respondents Form FDA 5009—OMUFA cover sheet Total annual responses Average burden per response Total hours Submission associated with facility fees .....................................................

The regulations also prescribe certain format and content instructions regarding the dissemination of covered information. Manufacturers or distributors send DHCP letters to physicians and other healthcare providers to communicate an important drug warning, a change in prescribing information, or a correction of misinformation in prescription drug promotional labeling or advertising. We developed the guidance document entitled ‘‘Dear Healthcare Provider Letters: Improving Communication of Important Safety Information’’ (January 2014), available at https://www.fda.gov/ media/79793/download, to provide instructions and recommendations to respondents on implementing the applicable requirements. All Agency guidance documents are issued consistent with our good guidance practice regulations at 21 CFR 10.115. In addition to the content and format recommendations for each type of DHCP letter, the guidance also includes recommendations on consulting with FDA on: (1) how to develop a DHCP letter; (2) when to send a letter; (3) what type of letter to send; and (4) how to assess the letter’s impact.

Based on our Document Archiving, Reporting, and Regulatory Tracking System, we estimate eight DHCP letters will be submitted annually from six application holders. Based on our experience, we assume that each letter will require 100 hours to prepare and disseminate as recommended in the guidance. Our estimate reflects a downward adjustment by five responses and 500 hours annually. We attribute this decrease to the effectiveness of the guidance and the decreased number of DHCP letters submitted for FDA review. Dated: December 8, 2022. Lauren K.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When submitting comments or requesting information, please include the ICR title for reference. Information Collection Request Title: The Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) Program Reconciliation Tool OMB No. 0915– 0342— Revision Abstract: The THCGME program, authorized by Section 340H of the Public Health Service Act, was established by Section 5508 of Public Law 111–148. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Pub. L. 116– 260) and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Pub. L. 117–2) provide continued funding for the THCGME Program. The THCGME program awards payment for both direct and indirect expenses to support training for primary care residents in community-based ambulatory patient care settings. Direct expense payments are designed to compensate eligible teaching health centers for those expenses directly associated with sponsoring resident training programs, while indirect expense payments are intended to PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 compensate for the additional costs relating to teaching residents in such programs. HRSA collects information from THCGME program award recipients using an OMB-approved reconciliation tool. HRSA seeks to extend its approved information collection and is increasing the total estimated annual burden hours associated with the collection, due to an increase in the number of program award recipients from 58 to 83. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: THCGME program payments are prospective payments, and the statute provides for a reconciliation process, through which overpayments may be recouped and underpayments may be adjusted at the end of the fiscal year. This data collection instrument will gather information relating to the number of resident full-time equivalents in Teaching Health Center training programs in order to reconcile payments for both direct and indirect expenses. Likely Respondents: The likely respondents to the THCGME Reconciliation Tool are THCGME program award recipients. Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the information requested. This includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for this ICR are summarized in the table below. E:\FR\FM\13DEN1.SGM 13DEN1

review and clearance.

Improving Communication of Important Safety Information--21 CFR Part 
200

OMB Control Number 0910-0754--Extension

    This information collection supports Agency regulations and 
recommendations found in associated Agency guidance, as discussed 
below. Under section 705 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 
(FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 375), the Secretary of the Department of Health 
and Human Services (the Secretary) may require dissemination of 
information for drugs in situations that involve, in the Secretary's 
opinion, ``imminent danger to health, or gross deception of the 
consumer.'' Implementing regulations are found in Sec.  200.5 (21 CFR 
200.5) and outline the general provisions for ``Dear Healthcare 
Provider'' (DHCP) letters that manufacturers and distributors 
disseminate about important drug warnings, important prescribing 
information, and important correction of drug information. The 
regulations also prescribe certain format and content instructions 
regarding the dissemination of covered information. Manufacturers or 
distributors send DHCP letters to physicians and other healthcare 
providers to communicate an important drug warning, a change in 
prescribing information, or a correction of misinformation in 
prescription drug promotional labeling or advertising. We developed the 
guidance document entitled ``Dear Healthcare Provider Letters: 
Improving Communication of Important Safety Information'' (January 
2014), available at https://www.fda.gov/media/79793/download, to 
provide instructions and recommendations to respondents on implementing 
the applicable requirements. All Agency guidance documents are issued 
consistent with our good guidance practice regulations at 21 CFR 
10.115.
    In addition to the content and format recommendations for each type 
of DHCP letter, the guidance also includes recommendations on 
consulting with FDA on: (1) how to develop a DHCP letter; (2) when to 
send a letter; (3) what type of letter to send; and (4) how to assess 
the letter's impact.
    In the Federal Register of June 24, 2022 (87 FR 37871), we 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment

    We have identified 24 DHCP letters that 18 distinct sponsors 
submitted to FDA during the 3-year period (2019 to 2021). Based on our 
Document Archiving, Reporting, and Regulatory Tracking System, we 
estimate eight DHCP letters will be submitted annually from six 
application holders. Based on our experience, we assume that each 
letter will require 100 hours to prepare and disseminate as recommended 
in the guidance. Our estimate reflects a downward adjustment by five 
responses and 500 hours annually. We attribute this decrease to the 
effectiveness of the guidance and the decreased number of DHCP letters 
submitted for FDA review.
