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.
Prescription Drug User Fee Cover Sheet; Form FDA 3397-(OMB Control Number 0910-0297)-Extension
Under the prescription drug user fee provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (sections 735 and 736 (21 U.S.C. 379g and 379h)), as amended, FDA has the authority to assess and collect user fees for certain drug and biologics license applications and supplements to those applications. Under this authority, pharmaceutical companies pay a fee for certain new drug applications (NDAs), biologics license applications (BLAs), or supplements submitted to the Agency for review. Because the submission of user fees concurrently with applications and supplements is required, review of an application by FDA cannot begin until the fee is submitted. The Prescription Drug User Fee Cover Sheet, Form FDA 3397, is designed to provide the minimum necessary information to determine whether a fee is required for review of an application, to determine the amount of the fee required, and to account for and track user fees. The form provides a cross-reference of the fee submitted for an application by using a unique number tracking system. The information collected is used by FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) and Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) to initiate the administrative screening of NDAs, BLAs, and/or supplemental applications to those applications.
Respondents to this collection of information are new drug and biologics manufacturers. Based on FDA's database system for fiscal year (FY) 2011, there are an estimated 260 manufacturers of products subject to the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (Pub. L. 105-115). The total number of annual responses is based on the number of submissions received by FDA in FY 2011. CDER received 3,363 annual responses that include the following submissions: 114 NDAs; 4 BLAs; 1,900 manufacturing supplements; 1,209 labeling supplements; and 136 efficacy supplements. CBER received 768 annual responses that include the following submissions: 6 BLAs; 698 manufacturing supplements; 44 labeling supplements; and 20 efficacy supplements. The estimated hours per response are based on past FDA experience with the various submissions.
FDA is revising Form FDA 3397 in the following ways: (1) By updating the applicable Web sites; (2) by adding a Privacy Act Notice pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a(3)j; (3) by adding 351(k) applications to the CDER and CBER lists of applications and supplements for which Form FDA 3397 need not be submitted; (4) by adding "or proper name" to instruction number 3; and (5) by making minor editorial changes.
In the Federal Register of May 18, 2012 (77 FR 29663), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. No comments were received.
FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows:
| FDA Form No. | Number of respondents | Number of responses per respondent | Total annual responses | Average burden per response | Total hours |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Form FDA 3397 | 260 | 15.89 | 4,131 | 0.5 (30 min.) | 2,065.5 |
| 1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. | |||||
