SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry 
entitled ``Nonprescription Sunscreen Drug Products--Content and Format 
of Data Submissions to Support a GRASE Determination Under the 
Sunscreen Innovation Act''.
    This draft guidance is being issued in accordance with the SIA (21 
U.S.C. Ch. 9 Sub. 5 Part I), enacted November 26, 2014, which amended 
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act). Section 
586D(a)(1)(A)(i) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360fff-4(a)(1)(A)(i)), as 
added by the SIA, directs FDA to issue guidance on the format and 
content of information submitted to FDA in support of a request for a 
determination whether a sunscreen active ingredient or combination of 
active ingredients is GRASE and not misbranded for use in 
nonprescription sunscreen products. The information in this guidance is 
intended to help sponsors and manufacturers prepare a GRASE data 
submission that is sufficiently complete (including being formatted in 
a manner that enables FDA to determine its completeness) to enable FDA 
to conduct a substantive GRASE review, as required by section 
586B(b)(2) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360fff-2(b)(2)).
    This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good 
guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when 
finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on the format and 
content of GRASE data submissions under the SIA. It does not establish 
any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the public. You 
can use an alternative approach if

[[Page 72975]]

it satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and 
regulations.

II. The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This guidance contains collections of information that are exempt 
from the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). 
Section 586D(a)(1)(C) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360fff-4(a)(1)(C)) 
states that the PRA shall not apply to information collected under this 
guidance.

III. Electronic Access

    Persons with access to the Internet may obtain the document at 
either http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/Guidances/default.htm or http://www.regulations.gov.
