SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal 
Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. 
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of 
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a 
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) 
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal 
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including 
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, 
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with 
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection 
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA 
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection 
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's 
functions, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when 
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Application for FDA Approval To Market a New Drug

OMB Control Number 0910-0001--Extension

    Under section 505(a) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 
(the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 355(a)), a new drug may not be commercially 
marketed in the United States, imported, or exported from the United 
States, unless an approval of an application filed with FDA under 
section 505(b) or (j) of the FD&C Act is effective with respect to such 
drug. The Agency has codified regulations regarding applications for 
FDA approval to market a new drug under 21 CFR part 314. This 
collection of information supports the regulatory requirements found in 
those regulations. The collection of information is necessary for FDA 
to make a scientific and technical determination whether the product is 
safe and effective for use, and is summarized as follows:
    Section 314.50(a) requires that an application form (Form FDA 356h) 
be submitted that includes information about the applicant, the 
submission, and a checklist of enclosures.
    Section 314.50(b) requires that an index be submitted with the 
archival

[[Page 24353]]

copy of the application and that it reference certain sections of the 
application.

submitted that presents a good general synopsis of all the technical 
sections and other information in the application.

technical sections about the new drug: (1) Chemistry, manufacturing, 
and controls; (2) nonclinical pharmacology and toxicology; (3) human 
pharmacokinetics and bioavailability; (4) microbiology; (5) clinical 
data; (6) statistical; and (7) pediatric use sections.
    Section 314.50(e) requires the applicant to submit samples of the 
drug if requested by FDA. In addition, the archival copy of the

be submitted with the archival copy.

certification information be submitted for each patent listed in the

pharmaceutically equivalent to the proposed drug product in the 
original 505(b)(2) application and was submitted and was approved

invalidity, unenforceability, or non-infringement of a patent to each

applicant that relies on a listed drug. A 505(b)(2) applicant is 
required to amend its application at the time notice is provided to 
include a statement certifying that the required notice has been

feasible, and provide status reports of postmarketing study 
commitments. The burden estimate for Sec.  314.610(b)(1) is included in 
table 1 under the estimates for Sec. Sec.  314.50 (a) through (f), (k), 
and (l) and 314.81(b)(2)).
    Section 314.610(b)(3) requires that applicants propose labeling to 
be provided to patient recipients in applications for approval of new 
drugs when human efficacy studies are not ethical or feasible. The 
burden estimate for Sec.  314.610(b)(3) is included in table 1 under 
the estimates for Sec.  314.50(e).
    Section 314.630 requires that applicants provide postmarketing 
safety reporting for applications for approval of new drugs when human 
efficacy studies are not ethical or feasible. The burden hours for 
Sec.  314.630 are approved under OMB control numbers 0910-0230 and 
0910-0291 and therefore not included in table 1.
    Section 314.640 requires that applicants provide promotional 
materials for applications for approval of new drugs when human 
efficacy studies are not ethical or feasible. The burden estimate for 
Sec.  314.640 is included in table 1 under the estimates for Sec.  
314.81(b)(3)(i)).
    Accordingly, we estimate the burden for this collection of 
information as follows:
