SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry 
entitled ``Nonallergic Rhinitis: Developing Drug Products for 
Treatment.'' The purpose of this draft guidance is to assist applicants 
in the development of drug and biological products for the treatment of 
NAR.
    The nomenclature and understanding of the pathophysiology of NAR 
continue to evolve. The recommendations in this guidance are based on 
the Agency's current understanding of the definition of NAR and an 
assessment of issues raised by the presumed heterogeneity of NAR. The 
guidance discusses issues regarding the definition of a clinical 
phenotype, trial design, efficacy, and safety for new products under 
development.
    This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good 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 The draft guidance, when 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 developing 
drug products for the treatment of NAR. 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 it satisfies the requirements of the 
applicable statutes and regulations.

II. The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This guidance refers to previously approved collections of 
information that are subject to review by the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520). The collections of information in 21 CFR part 312 have been 
approved under OMB control number 0910-0014.

III. Electronic Access

    Persons with access to the Internet may obtain the draft guidance 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