Download as PDF 58284 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 164 / Friday, August 25, 2023 / Notices withdrawal of approval is warranted because the required post-approval confirmatory trial failed to verify clinical benefit and because available evidence demonstrates PEPAXTO is not shown to be safe or effective under its conditions of use. The Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee (ODAC) convened on September 22, 2022, to discuss issues related to this proposed withdrawal. The ODAC voted 14 to 2 that the benefit-risk profile of melphalan flufenamide was not favorable for the currently indicated patient population. For additional background, please refer to CDER’s letter to Oncopeptides Re: Section 506(c)(3)(B) Notice of Proposed Withdrawal of Approval; PEPAXTO (melphalan flufenamide) for injection; NDA 214383 (‘‘Notice to Oncopeptides of Proposed Withdrawal of PEPAXTO’’) and CDER’s Proposed Withdrawal of PEPAXTO Decisional Memorandum, available at Docket No. FDA–2023–N– 3167, https://www.regulations.gov. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 II. Legal Standard for Withdrawal of Approval Section 506(c) of the FD&C Act, as amended most recently by the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 (Pub. L. 117–328), describes the accelerated approval of new drug applications and the procedures and authority governing expedited withdrawal of approval. FDA has the legal authority to use the expedited procedures to withdraw approval of a product that has received accelerated approval if, among other reasons, ‘‘a study required to verify and describe the predicted effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit of the product fails to verify and describe such effect or benefit’’ (section 506(c)(3)(A)(ii) of the FD&C Act) or ‘‘other evidence demonstrates that the product is not shown to be safe or effective under the conditions of use.’’ (section 506(c)(3)(A)(iii) of the FD&C Act.) III. Explanation for the Proposed Withdrawal CDER proposes to withdraw approval of PEPAXTO because the required confirmatory study, Trial OP–103, also known as OCEAN, failed to verify clinical benefit and because available evidence demonstrates PEPAXTO is not shown to be safe or effective under its conditions of use. More specifically, the results failed to show that PEPAXTO had a significant effect on the primary endpoint of progression-free survival. Furthermore, the observed median Act of 2023 (Pub. L. 117–328); see also 21 CFR 314.510. VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:23 Aug 24, 2023 Jkt 259001 overall survival was 5.3 months shorter in the PEPAXTO arm compared to the control arm. After considering all the available data and the discussion at the ODAC held in September 2022, CDER recommends withdrawing the accelerated approval for PEPAXTO. Please refer to CDER’s ‘‘Notice to Oncopeptides of Proposed Withdrawal of PEPAXTO’’ and ‘‘Proposed Withdrawal of PEPAXTO Decisional Memorandum’’ for additional explanation. IV. Opportunity for Public Comment on CDER’s Proposal To Withdraw Approval of PEPAXTO In accordance with the expedited withdrawal of approval procedures described in section 506(c)(3)(B)(ii) and (iii) of the FD&C Act, CDER is providing an opportunity for public comment on its proposal to withdraw approval of NDA 214383 (PEPAXTO) through the issuance of a Federal Register Notice. FDA will consider any such public comments it receives in making its decision on CDER’s proposal to withdraw approval of NDA 214383 (PEPAXTO) and make available on its website and in the public docket a summary of such comments and FDA’s response to them. Dated: August 21, 2023. Lauren K. Roth, Associate Commissioner for Policy.

ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: In compliance with the requirement for opportunity for public comment on proposed data collection projects of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, HRSA announces plans to submit an Information Collection Request (ICR), described below, to the Office of Management and Budget SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00051 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 (OMB). Prior to submitting the ICR to OMB, HRSA seeks comments from the public regarding the burden estimate, below, or any other aspect of the ICR. DATES: Comments on this ICR should be received no later than October 24, 2023. ADDRESSES: Submit your comments to paperwork@hrsa.gov or mail the HRSA Information Collection Clearance Officer, Room 14N39, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, Maryland 20857. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on the proposed project or to obtain a copy of the data collection plans and draft instruments, email paperwork@hrsa.gov or call Joella Roland, the HRSA Information Collection Clearance Officer, at (301) 443–3983. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When submitting comments or requesting information, please include the ICR title for reference. Information Collection Request Title: Standardized Work Plan (SWP) Form for Use with Applications to the Bureau of Health Workforce (BHW) Research and Training Grants and Cooperative Agreements OMB No. 0906–0049— Extension. Abstract: BHW requires applicants for training and research grants and cooperative agreements to submit work plans via the SWP form. Information in the SWP describes the timeframes and progress required during the grant period of performance to address each of the needs detailed in the Purpose and Need section of the application, as required in the Notice of Funding Opportunity announcement. Applicants use the SWP form when they submit their proposals, and award recipients and Project Officers use the SWP information to assist in monitoring progress once HRSA makes the awards. After awards are made, recipients complete a Quarterly Progress Update (QPU) to provide information to BHW on a quarterly basis on each activity listed in the SWP. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Information collected by the SWP form and QPUs standardizes and streamlines the data used by HRSA in reviewing applications and monitoring awardees. The form asks applicants to provide a description of the activities or steps the applicant will take to achieve each of the objectives proposed during the entire period of performance. The current standardized format and data submission by applicants increases efficiency in reviewing, awarding, and monitoring each project. The QPU is completed via HRSA’s Electronic Handbook system and E:\FR\FM\25AUN1.SGM 25AUN1 58285 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 164 / Friday, August 25, 2023 / Notices prompts recipients to report on progress of activities that were submitted using the SWP in the original application. The QPU automatically populates activities from the recipient’s SWP form on a quarterly basis. For each activity listed in the submitted SWP for any particular quarter within the project period, recipients select and submit a single selection response for each activity status from a pull-down menu with five options: Activity is on Schedule, Activity is Complete, Timing is off track, Activity will be missed if action is not taken, and Activity cannot be achieved. Information provided is utilized by the program staff to regularly assess overall progress of program requirements and analyze data in order to monitor award recipient compliance and track progress against proposed targets and goals. Information gathered allows an improved and more efficient method for identifying whether projects’ goals are being advanced or achieved, as set forth in 45 CFR 75.342. Program staff also use information provided over the period of performance to see emerging trends and to assess whether an award recipient requires technical assistance to address challenges that the award recipient may be experiencing with the implementation of the project. Seeking OMB extension approval comports with the regulatory requirement imposed by 45 CFR 75.206(a), Paperwork clearances. Likely Respondents: Respondents are applicants for, and recipients of, BHW’s research and training grants and cooperative agreements. 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.

complete a Quarterly Progress Update (QPU) to provide information to 
BHW on a quarterly basis on each activity listed in the SWP.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Information collected by 
the SWP form and QPUs standardizes and streamlines the data used by 
HRSA in reviewing applications and monitoring awardees. The form asks 
applicants to provide a description of the activities or steps the 
applicant will take to achieve each of the objectives proposed during 
the entire period of performance. The current standardized format and 
data submission by applicants increases efficiency in reviewing, 
awarding, and monitoring each project.

prompts recipients to report on progress of activities that were 
submitted using the SWP in the original application. The QPU 
automatically populates activities from the recipient's SWP form on a 
quarterly basis. For each activity listed in the submitted SWP for any 
particular quarter within the project period, recipients select and 
submit a single selection response for each activity status from a 
pull-down menu with five options: Activity is on Schedule, Activity is 
Complete, Timing is off track, Activity will be missed if action is not 
taken, and Activity cannot be achieved. Information provided is 
utilized by the program staff to regularly assess overall progress of 
program requirements and analyze data in order to monitor award 
recipient compliance and track progress against proposed targets and 
goals. Information gathered allows an improved and more efficient 
method for identifying whether projects' goals are being advanced or 
achieved, as set forth in 45 CFR 75.342. Program staff also use 
information provided over the period of performance to see emerging 
trends and to assess whether an award recipient requires technical 
assistance to address challenges that the award recipient may be 
experiencing with the implementation of the project. Seeking OMB 
extension approval comports with the regulatory requirement imposed by 
45 CFR 75.206(a), Paperwork clearances.
    Likely Respondents: Respondents are applicants for, and recipients 
of, BHW's research and training grants and cooperative agreements.
    Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by
