SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On December 17, 2014, FDA published a final guidance for industry 
entitled ``Providing Regulatory Submissions in Electronic Format--
Standardized Study Data'' (eStudy Data) posted on FDA's Study Data 
Standards Resources Web page at http://www.fda.gov/forindustry/datastandards/studydatastandards/default.htm. The eStudy Data guidance 
implements the electronic submission requirements of section 745A(a) of 
the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 379k-1) for study data contained in new drug 
applications (NDAs), abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs), 
biologics license applications (BLAs), and investigational new drug 
applications (INDs) to CBER or CDER by specifying the format for 
electronic submissions. The initial timetable for the implementation of 
electronic submission requirements for study data is December 17, 2016 
(24 months after issuance of final guidance for NDAs, BLAs, ANDAs, and 
36 months for INDs). The eStudy Data guidance states that a Federal 
Register notice will specify the transition date for all version 
updates (with the month and day for the transition date corresponding 
to March 15).
    The transition date for support (see section II. Exceptions) of the 
3.2 version of CDISC STDM IG is March 15, 2017. Although SDTM IG 
version 3.2 is supported as of this Federal Register notice and 
sponsors or applicants are encouraged to begin using it, the new 
version will only be required in submissions for studies that start 
after March 15, 2018. The Catalog will list March 15, 2018, as the 
``date requirement begins.'' When multiple versions of an FDA-supported 
standard are listed in the Catalog, sponsors or applicants can select a 
version to use.

II. Exceptions

    The following SDTM IG 3.2 domains have not completed testing and 
acceptance and are not supported at this time: Death Details and 
Exposure as Collected. The therapeutic area (TA) standards (http://www.cdisc.org/) that are included in SDTM IG 3.2 have not completed 
testing and acceptance and are not supported at this time. The specific 
domain and the TA standard are listed in the table that follows:
