SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of September 26, 
2016, FDA published a request for comments on GDUFA reauthorization 
draft recommendations. The comment period ends on November 7, 2016.
    Because the Agency posted the draft recommendations on October 14, 
2016, and the statute requires a period of 30 days be provided for the 
public to provide comments on the draft recommendations, FDA is 
extending the comment period for the GDUFA reauthorization draft 
recommendations until November 16, 2016.
    In addition, in FR Doc. 2016-23111, appearing on page 66035 in the 
Federal Register of Monday, September 26, 2016, the following

    On page 66038, in the final paragraph of the first column, the

product-specific guidance identifying the methodology for developing 
drugs and generating evidence needed to support ANDA approval, for 90 
percent of new chemical entity new drug applications that are approved 
on or after October 1, 2017, at least 2 years prior to the earliest 
lawful filing date.''
