In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:57 Mar 05, 2024 Jkt 262001 OMB Control Number 0910–0001— Revision This information collection supports implementation of statutory and regulatory authorities that govern new drugs. Under section 505(a) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 355(a)), a new drug may not be commercially marketed in the United States unless an approval of an application filed with FDA under section 505(b) or (j) of the FD&C Act is effective with respect to such drug. We have issued regulations in part 314 (21 CFR part 314) that establish procedures and requirements for applications submitted in accordance with section 505 of the FD&C Act. The regulations in subpart A (§§ 314.1 through 314.3) set forth general provisions, while regulations in subparts B and C (§§ 314.50 through 314.99) set forth content and format requirements for new drug applications (NDAs) and abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) respectively. The regulations include requirements for the submission of specific data elements along with patent information, pediatric use information, supplements and amendments, proposed labeling, and specific postmarketing reports (PMRs). Respondents to the information collection are sponsors of these applications. Regulations in subpart D (§§ 314.100 through 314.170) explain Agency actions on applications and set forth timeframes for FDA review. The information collection includes provisions established through our Agency user fee programs, most recently authorized under the FDA User Fee Reauthorization Act of 2022. These provisions pertain to performance goals, expedited programs, review transparency, communications with FDA, dispute resolution, drug safety enhancements, and the allocation of Agency resources to align with these program objectives as agreed to with our stakeholders and set forth in our ‘‘User Fee Performance Goals for Fiscal Years 2023–2027’’ Commitment Letters, which are available from our website at https:// www.fda.gov along with more information about specific FDA user fee programs. Included among the provisions in subpart G (§§ 314.410 through 314.445), § 314.420 covers information to include in drug master files (DMFs). To assist respondents to this information collection we have prepared templates, guidance, forms, and resources available from our website at https:// PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 15999 www.fda.gov/drugs/forms-submissionrequirements/drug-master-files-dmfs. We have developed Form FDA 3938 and accompanying instructions on submitting DMFs in accordance with the applicable regulations. We are revising Form FDA 3898 and the accompanying instructions to allow for multiple selections of submission types and to clarify the number of digits to be entered for the holder and establishment registration numbers. In accordance with § 314.445, we also develop Agency guidance documents to assist respondents in complying with provisions in part 314. These guidance documents are issued consistent with our good guidance practice regulations at 21 CFR 10.115. To search available FDA guidance documents, visit our website at https://www.fda.gov/ regulatory-information/search-fdaguidance-documents. Applications submitted in accordance with subpart H (§§ 314.500 through 314.560) pertain to accelerated approval of new drugs for serious or lifethreatening illnesses. Information collection and associated burden for the submissions in subpart I (§§ 314.600 through 314.650) pertain to approval of certain new drugs when human efficacy studies are not ethical or feasible. The regulations provide for the submission of specific data elements, animal studies of safety and efficacy to establish likely clinical benefit in humans and upon approval of the drug product, additional requirements and/or restrictions to ensure safe use of the product. Additional PMRs, safety reporting, and promotional material as well as requirements for withdrawal of these human drug applications, and FDA termination of requirements for these human drug applications are included in §§ 314.620 through 314.650. The estimated burden for these human drug applications is included in the reported submissions and burden under general human drug applications, § 314.50, and other specific regulations in the table for human drug application requirements in general. Finally, we are also revising the collection to include the submission of information pursuant to the CREATES Act (enacted as part of the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2020 (21 U.S.C. 355–1(1) and 355–2)). Under the CREATES Act, developers of potential drug and biological products are enabled to use the CREATES pathway to obtain samples of brand products that are needed to support their applications. Relevant products include those submitted in generic drug applications under section 505(j) of the FD&C Act and NDAs submitted under E:\FR\FM\06MRN1.SGM 06MRN1 16000 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 45 / Wednesday, March 6, 2024 / Notices section 505(b)(2) of the FD&C Act, and biosimilar products submitted under section 351(k) of the Public Health Service Act as amended by the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009. One of the requirements for using the CREATES pathway for products that are subject to a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy with elements to assure safe use is to obtain a Covered Product Authorization (CPA) from FDA (21 U.S.C. 355–2(b)(2)). Included in our estimated burden is effort we attribute to information collection activities associated with CPAs. To assist respondents to the information collection we have developed the following forms: • Form FDA 356h (and instructions): Application to Market a New or Abbreviated New Drug or Biologic for Human Use • Form FDA 2252 (and instructions): Transmittal of Annual Reports for Drugs and Biologics for Human Use (§ 314.81) • Form FDA 2253 (and instructions): Transmittal of Advertisements and Promotional Labeling for Drugs and Biologics for Human Use • Forms FDA 3331/3331a (and instructions): Field Alert Reports • Form FDA 3542 (and instructions): Patent Information Submitted Upon and After Approval of an NDA or Supplement • FDA 3542a (and instructions): Patent Information Submitted with the Filing of an NDA, Amendment, or Supplement • Revised Form FDA 3938 (and revised instruction): DMF submission • Form FDA 3988 (and instruction): Transmittal of post marketing requirements (PMR)/postmarketing commitments (PMC) submissions for Drugs and Biologics • Form FDA 3989 (and instruction): Transmittal of PMR/PMC Annual Status Report Information Individuals requesting printed forms are instructed to contact the FDA Forms Manager by email at formsmanager@ OC.FDA.GOV. Certain fees may be applicable. Information collection pertaining to hearings and other administrative proceedings covered in 21 CFR subpart E are approved under OMB Control Number 0910–0191. Unless otherwise noted, information collection pertaining to postmarket safety reporting and associated recordkeeping is approved under OMB Control Numbers 0910– 0230, and 0910–0291. Respondents to the information collection are pharmaceutical industry entities who contribute to the preparation and marketing of pharmaceutical products regulated by the FDA. In the Federal Register of September 28, 2023 (88 FR 66853), we published a notice inviting public comment on the proposed collection of information. No comments were received.

The reporting period for this information collection renewal includes the 3 years of the COVID–19 pandemic. We attribute this adjustment to a decrease in the number of submissions received during the public health emergency. We anticipate that the numbers of submissions to FDA will return to prepandemic levels as economic activity recovers. We also attribute a portion of the burden adjustment to improved operational efficiencies with regard to Agency data systems and digital submission processes. I. Background Dated: February 29, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has 
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for 
review and clearance.

Applications for FDA Approval To Market a New Drug--21 CFR Part 314

OMB Control Number 0910-0001--Revision

    This information collection supports implementation of statutory 
and regulatory authorities that govern new drugs. Under section 505(a) 
of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 
355(a)), a new drug may not be commercially marketed in the United 
States unless an approval of an application filed with FDA under 
section 505(b) or (j) of the FD&C Act is effective with respect to such 
drug. We have issued regulations in part 314 (21 CFR part 314) that 
establish procedures and requirements for applications submitted in 
accordance with section 505 of the FD&C Act. The regulations in subpart 
A (Sec. Sec.  314.1 through 314.3) set forth general provisions, while 
regulations in subparts B and C (Sec. Sec.  314.50 through 314.99) set 
forth content and format requirements for new drug applications (NDAs) 
and abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) respectively. The 
regulations include requirements for the submission of specific data 
elements along with patent information, pediatric use information, 
supplements and amendments, proposed labeling, and specific 
postmarketing reports (PMRs). Respondents to the information collection 
are sponsors of these applications.
    Regulations in subpart D (Sec. Sec.  314.100 through 314.170) 
explain Agency actions on applications and set forth timeframes for FDA 
review. The information collection includes provisions established 
through our Agency user fee programs, most recently authorized under 
the FDA User Fee Reauthorization Act of 2022. These provisions pertain 
to performance goals, expedited programs, review transparency, 
communications with FDA, dispute resolution, drug safety enhancements, 
and the allocation of Agency resources to align with these program 
objectives as agreed to with our stakeholders and set forth in our 
``User Fee Performance Goals for Fiscal Years 2023-2027'' Commitment 
Letters, which are available from our website at https://www.fda.gov 
along with more information about specific FDA user fee programs.
    Included among the provisions in subpart G (Sec. Sec.  314.410 
through 314.445), Sec.  314.420 covers information to include in drug 
master files (DMFs). To assist respondents to this information 
collection we have prepared templates, guidance, forms, and resources 
available from our website at https://www.fda.gov/drugs/forms-submission-requirements/drug-master-files-dmfs. We have developed Form 
FDA 3938 and accompanying instructions on submitting DMFs in accordance 
with the applicable regulations. We are revising Form FDA 3898 and the 
accompanying instructions to allow for multiple selections of 
submission types and to clarify the number of digits to be entered for 
the holder and establishment registration numbers.
    In accordance with Sec.  314.445, we also develop Agency guidance 
documents to assist respondents in complying with provisions in part 
314. These guidance documents are issued consistent with our good 
guidance practice regulations at 21 CFR 10.115. To search available FDA 
guidance documents, visit our website at https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents.
    Applications submitted in accordance with subpart H (Sec. Sec.  
314.500 through 314.560) pertain to accelerated approval of new drugs 
for serious or life-threatening illnesses.
    Information collection and associated burden for the submissions in 
subpart I (Sec. Sec.  314.600 through 314.650) pertain to approval of 
certain new drugs when human efficacy studies are not ethical or 
feasible. The regulations provide for the submission of specific data 
elements, animal studies of safety and efficacy to establish likely 
clinical benefit in humans and upon approval of the drug product, 
additional requirements and/or restrictions to ensure safe use of the 
product. Additional PMRs, safety reporting, and promotional material as 
well as requirements for withdrawal of these human drug applications, 
and FDA termination of requirements for these human drug applications 
are included in Sec. Sec.  314.620 through 314.650. The estimated 
burden for these human drug applications is included in the reported 
submissions and burden under general human drug applications, Sec.  
314.50, and other specific regulations in the table for human drug 
application requirements in general.
    Finally, we are also revising the collection to include the 
submission of information pursuant to the CREATES Act (enacted as part 
of the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2020 (21 U.S.C. 355-
1(1) and 355-2)). Under the CREATES Act, developers of potential drug 
and biological products are enabled to use the CREATES pathway to 
obtain samples of brand products that are needed to support their 
applications. Relevant products include those submitted in generic drug 
applications under section 505(j) of the FD&C Act and NDAs submitted 
under

[[Page 16000]]

section 505(b)(2) of the FD&C Act, and biosimilar products submitted 
under section 351(k) of the Public Health Service Act as amended by the 
Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009. One of the 
requirements for using the CREATES pathway for products that are 
subject to a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy with elements to 
assure safe use is to obtain a Covered Product Authorization (CPA) from 
FDA (21 U.S.C. 355-2(b)(2)). Included in our estimated burden is effort 
we attribute to information collection activities associated with CPAs.
    To assist respondents to the information collection we have 
developed the following forms:

 Form FDA 356h (and instructions): Application to Market a New 
or Abbreviated New Drug or Biologic for Human Use

    Individuals requesting printed forms are instructed to contact the 
FDA Forms Manager by email at [email protected]. Certain fees may 
be applicable.
    Information collection pertaining to hearings and other 
administrative proceedings covered in 21 CFR subpart E are approved 
under OMB Control Number 0910-0191. Unless otherwise noted, information 
collection pertaining to postmarket safety reporting and associated 
recordkeeping is approved under OMB Control Numbers 0910-0230, and 
0910-0291.
    Respondents to the information collection are pharmaceutical 
industry entities who contribute to the preparation and marketing of 
pharmaceutical products regulated by the FDA.
    In the Federal Register of September 28, 2023 (88 FR 66853), we

\1\ Total burden hours have been rounded.
\2\ We have included burden attendant to subpart H applications activity in our estimate of burden associated with Sec.   314.50.

    Our estimated burden for the information collection reflects an 
overall decrease of 642,293.5 hours. The reporting period for this 
information collection renewal includes the 3 years of the COVID-19 
pandemic. We attribute this adjustment to a decrease in the number of 
submissions received during the public health emergency. We anticipate 
that the numbers of submissions to FDA will return to pre-pandemic 
levels as economic activity recovers. We also attribute a portion of 
the burden adjustment to improved operational efficiencies with regard 
to Agency data systems and digital submission processes.
