ACTION: Notice. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or the Agency) is announcing the over-the-counter (OTC) monograph drug facility (MDF) fee rates under the OTC monograph drug user fee program (OMUFA) for fiscal year (FY) 2024. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) authorizes FDA to assess and collect user fees from qualifying manufacturers of OTC monograph drugs and submitters of OTC monograph order requests (OMORs). This notice publishes the OMUFA facility fee rates for FY 2024. DATES: These facility fees are effective on October 1, 2023, and will remain in effect through September 30, 2024. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Olufunmilayo (Funmi) Ariyo, Office of Financial Management, Food and Drug Administration, 4041 Powder Mill Rd., 6th Floor, Beltsville, MD 20705–4304, 240–402–4989; or the User Fees Support Staff at OO-OFBAP-OFM-UFSSGovernment@fda.hhs.gov. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:49 Mar 28, 2024 Jkt 262001 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background Section 744M of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 379j–72), authorizes FDA to assess and collect: (1) facility fees from qualifying owners of OTC monograph drug facilities and (2) fees from submitters of qualifying OTC OMORs. The OTC OMOR fee rates for FY 2024 were published on September 12, 2023.1 These fees are to support FDA’s OTC monograph drug activities, which are detailed in section 744L(6) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 379j–71(6)) and include various FDA activities associated with OTC monograph drugs. For OMUFA purposes: • An OTC monograph drug is a nonprescription drug without an approved new drug application that is governed by the provisions of section 505G of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 355h) (see section 744L(5) of the FD&C Act); • An OTC MDF is a foreign or domestic business or other entity that, in addition to meeting other criteria, is engaged in manufacturing or processing the finished dosage form of an OTC monograph drug (see section 744L(10) of the FD&C Act); and • A contract manufacturing organization (CMO) facility is an OTC monograph drug facility where neither the owner nor any affiliate of the owner or facility sells the OTC monograph drug produced at such facility directly to wholesalers, retailers, or consumers in the United States (see section 744L(2) of the FD&C Act). Under section 744M(a)(1)(A) of the FD&C Act, a facility fee for FY 2024 shall be assessed with respect to each facility that is identified as an OTC monograph drug facility during the feeliable period from January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023.2 Consistent with the statute, FDA will assess and collect facility fees with respect to the two types of OTC monograph drug facilities—MDF and CMO facilities. A full facility fee will be assessed to each qualifying person that owns a facility identified as an MDF (see section 744M(a)(1)(A) of the FD&C Act), and a reduced facility fee of two-thirds will be assessed to each qualifying person that owns a facility identified as a CMO 1 https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/ 2023/09/12/2023-19609/over-the-countermonograph-drug-user-fee-program-otc-monographorder-requests-fee-rates-for-fiscal. 2 Under section 744M(a)(1) of the FD&C Act, ‘‘Each person that owns a facility identified as an OTC monograph drug facility on December 31 of the fiscal year or at any time during the preceding 12-month period shall be assessed an annual fee for each such facility.’’ For purposes of FY 2024 facility fees, that time period is January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023. PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 facility (see section 744M(a)(1)(B)(ii) of the FD&C Act). The facility fees for FY 2024 are due on June 3, 2024 (see section 744M(a)(1)(D)(ii) of the FD&C Act).3 As discussed in greater detail below: • OTC monograph drug facilities are exempt from FY 2024 facility fees if they had ceased OTC monograph drug activities, and updated their registration with FDA to that effect, prior to December 31, 2022 (see section 744M(a)(1)(B)(i) of the FD&C Act). • Entities that registered with FDA during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID–19) pandemic whose sole activity with respect to OTC monograph drugs during the pandemic consists (or had consisted) of manufacturing OTC hand sanitizer products 4 are not identified as OTC monograph drug facilities subject to OMUFA facility fees for FY 2024.5 For FY 2024, the OMUFA facility fee rates are: MDF facility fees ($34,166) and CMO facility fees ($22,777). These fees are effective for the period from October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024.6 This document is issued pursuant to section 744M(a)(4) and 744M(c)(4)(B) of the FD&C Act and describes the calculations used to set the OMUFA facility fees for FY 2024 in accordance with the directives in the statute. II. Facility Fee Revenue Amount for FY 2024 A. Base Fee Revenue Amount Under OMUFA, FDA sets annual facility fees to generate the total facility fee revenues for each fiscal year 3 Assuming that, as we anticipate, the FY 2024 fee appropriation will occur prior to June 3, 2024. Under section 744M(a)(1)(D)(ii), the FY 2024 facility fees are due on the later of: (1) the first business day of June 2024 (i.e., June 3, 2024) or (2) the first business day after the enactment of an appropriations Act providing for the collection and obligation of FY 2024 OMUFA fees. 4 The term ‘‘hand sanitizer’’ commonly refers to consumer antiseptic rubs. However, because the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) notice published January 12, 2021, referred to ‘‘persons that entered the over-the-counter drug market to supply hand sanitizer products in response to the COVID–19 Public Health Emergency’’ (86 FR 2420 https://www.federal register.gov/documents/2021/01/12/2021-00237/ notice-that-persons-that-entered-the-over-thecounter-drug-market-to-supply-hand-sanitizerduring), we are using the same terminology—‘‘hand sanitizer products’’—to refer to OTC monograph drug products intended for use (without water) as antiseptic hand rubs or antiseptic hand wipes by consumers or healthcare personnel. 5 See HHS Federal Register notice of January 12, 2021, 86 FR 2420, https://www.federalregister.gov/ documents/2021/01/12/2021-00237/notice-thatpersons-that-entered-the-over-the-counter-drugmarket-to-supply-hand-sanitizer-during. 6 These OMUFA fees are for FY 2024, per section 744M(a) of the FD&C Act.
