     If you want to submit a comment with confidential

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of October 7, 2016, 
FDA published a request for comments with a 30-day comment period 
beginning October 14, 2016, to request comments on MDUFA 
reauthorization draft recommendations.
    Because the Agency was unable to post the draft recommendations 
until October 25, 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 MDUFA 
reauthorization draft recommendations until November 28, 2016.
