SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry entitled ‘‘Definitions of Suspect Product and Illegitimate Product for Verification Obligations Under the Drug Supply Chain Security Act.’’ This guidance interprets the terms used in the definition of ‘‘suspect product’’ set forth in section 581(21) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360eee(21)) and the definition of ‘‘illegitimate product’’ set forth in section 581(8) of the FD&C Act to assist trading partners in meeting verification obligations (including notification) under section 582(b)(4), (c)(4), (d)(4), and (e)(4) (21 U.S.C. 360eee–1(b)(4), (c)(4), (d)(4), and (e)(4)), respectively. This guidance is intended to help industry better understand the definitions of ‘‘suspect’’ and ‘‘illegitimate’’ product as defined in section 581 of the FD&C Act. The guidance lays out FDA’s current understanding of the following key terms used to define ‘‘suspect’’ and ‘‘illegitimate’’ product in section 581 of FD&C Act: ‘‘counterfeit,’’ ‘‘diverted,’’ ‘‘stolen,’’ ‘‘fraudulent transaction,’’ and ‘‘unfit for distribution.’’ This guidance finalizes the draft guidance entitled ‘‘Definitions of Suspect Product and Illegitimate Product for Verification Obligations Under the Drug Supply Chain Security Act’’ issued on June 4, 2021 (86 FR 30056). FDA considered comments received on the draft guidance as the guidance was finalized. Changes from the draft to the final guidance include: (1) clarifying the definition of ‘‘diverted’’ by revising the examples clarifying that there are other scenarios besides product dispensed to a patient that could result in diverted product; (2) clarifying FDA’s expectations for how trading partners should handle PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 16271 unaccounted for product that is not immediately identified as stolen product; (3) expanding on the definition of ‘‘fraudulent transaction’’ to clarify how clerical errors or discrepancies in the product tracing information should be addressed; and (4) clarifying that the definition of ‘‘unfit for distribution’’ in this guidance applies only to the verification provisions of the DSCSA and to identifying suspect and illegitimate product. 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 ‘‘Definitions of Suspect Product and Illegitimate Product for Verification Obligations Under the Drug Supply Chain Security Act.’’ 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 FDA concludes that this guidance contains no collection of information. Therefore, clearance by the Office of Management and Budget under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 is not required. III. Electronic Access Persons with access to the internet may obtain the guidance at https:// www.fda.gov/drugs/guidancecompliance-regulatory-information/ guidances-drugs, https://www.fda.gov/ vaccines-blood-biologics/guidancecompliance-regulatory-informationbiologics/biologics-guidances, https:// www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/ search-fda-guidance-documents, or https://www.regulations.gov.
