Under the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) (42 U.S.C. 262), FDA may only approve a biologics license application for a biological product that is safe, pure, and potent. When a biological product is approved and enters the market, the product is introduced to a larger patient population in settings different from clinical trials. New information generated during the postmarketing period offers further insight into the benefits and risks of the product, and evaluation of this information is important to ensure its safe use. Regulations implementing adverse experience reporting (AER) requirements applicable to biological products are codified in part 600 (21 CFR part 600). Regulations applicable to combination products subject to regulations in part 600 are found in part 4 (21 CFR part 4)—Regulation of Combination Products. The collections of information are intended to enable FDA to take actions necessary for the protection of the public health in response to reports of adverse experiences related to biologics licensed PO 00000 Frm 00050 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 under any provision of section 351 of the PHS Act. To assist respondents with the reporting provisions of the information collection, FDA has created both paperbased and electronic forms. Information may be submitted electronically through MEDWATCH or the Vaccine Adverse Experience Reporting System (VAERS). AER reports are filed using the MEDWATCH Form FDA–3500A (approved under OMB control numbers 0910–0291 and 0910–0645) or the VAERS–1. Both versions of the forms and instructions are available from the internet at https://vaers.hhs.gov. The forms may also be downloaded, completed, and submitted to the Agency by mail or facsimile. For operational efficiency, on March 20, 2023, we requested, and OMB has approved, the addition of burden attributable to provisions set forth in part 4, subpart B, previously included in OMB control number 0910–0834. When information regarding an event that involves a death or serious injury, or an adverse event, associated with the use of the combination product is received by the product sponsor, the information must be provided to the other constituent part applicant(s) no later than 5 calendar days after receipt under § 4.103. Relatedly, § 4.104 explains how and where to submit reports. In the Federal Register of September 28, 2023 (88 FR 66856), we published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. We received one comment regarding our estimate of 28 hours per response for periodic adverse experience reports. The comment suggested we lower that estimate but provided no data or explanation in support of the proposed reduction. While we have therefore made no adjustment in our burden estimate, we encourage further comment regarding a basis for assessing burden for the scope of information collection activity covered by the applicable regulations and associated forms. Respondents: Respondents to this collection of information are manufacturers of biological products (including blood and blood E:\FR\FM\12MRN1.SGM 12MRN1 17859 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 49 / Tuesday, March 12, 2024 / Notices components) and any person whose name appears on the label of a licensed biological product.

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.

General Records--21 CFR Part 600

OMB Control Number 0910-0308--Extension

    This information collection helps support implementation of 
statutory and regulatory authorities that govern adverse experience 
reporting. Under the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) (42 U.S.C. 
262), FDA may only approve a biologics license application for a 
biological product that is safe, pure, and potent. When a biological 
product is approved and enters the market, the product is introduced to 
a larger patient population in settings different from clinical trials. 
New information generated during the postmarketing period offers 
further insight into the benefits and risks of the product, and 
evaluation of this information is important to ensure its safe use. 
Regulations implementing adverse experience reporting (AER) 
requirements applicable to biological products are codified in part 600 
(21 CFR part 600). Regulations applicable to combination products 
subject to regulations in part 600 are found in part 4 (21 CFR part

are intended to enable FDA to take actions necessary for the protection 
of the public health in response to reports of adverse experiences 
related to biologics licensed under any provision of section 351 of the 
PHS Act.
    To assist respondents with the reporting provisions of the 
information collection, FDA has created both paper-based and electronic 
forms. Information may be submitted electronically through MEDWATCH or

are filed using the MEDWATCH Form FDA-3500A (approved under OMB control

forms and instructions are available from the internet at https://vaers.hhs.gov. The forms may also be downloaded, completed, and 
submitted to the Agency by mail or facsimile.
    For operational efficiency, on March 20, 2023, we requested, and 
OMB has approved, the addition of burden attributable to provisions set 
forth in part 4, subpart B, previously included in OMB control number 
0910-0834. When information regarding an event that involves a death or 
serious injury, or an adverse event, associated with the use of the
