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 copy of the application and that it reference certain sections 
of the application.
    Section 314.50(c) requires that a summary of the application be 
submitted that presents a good general synopsis of all the technical 
sections and other information in the application.
    Section 314.50(d) requires that the new drug application (NDA) 
contain the following technical sections about the new drug: Chemistry, 
manufacturing,

[[Page 58404]]

and controls; nonclinical pharmacology and toxicology; human 
pharmacokinetics and bioavailability; microbiology; clinical data; 
statistical; and 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 
application must include copies of the label and all labeling for the 
drug.
    Section 314.50(f) requires that case report forms and tabulations 
be submitted with the archival copy.
    Section 314.50(h) requires that patent information, as described 
under Sec.  [thinsp]314.53, be submitted with the application. However, 
burden hours for Sec.  [thinsp]314.50(h) are approved under OMB control 
numbers 0910-0513 (Patent Certification Forms FDA 3542 and FDA 3542a) 
and 0910-0786 (Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs) and 505(b)(2) 
Applications), and are therefore not included among the estimates found 
in table 1.
    Section 314.50(i) requires that patent certification information be 
submitted in section 505(b)(2) applications for patents claiming the 
drug substance, drug product, or method of use. Sections 
314.50(i)(1)(i)(C) and 314.54(i) and (j) require that patent 
certification information be submitted for each patent listed in the 
``Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations'' 
(the Orange Book) for a drug product approved in an NDA that is 
pharmaceutically equivalent to the proposed drug product in the 
original 505(b)(2) application and was submitted and was approved 
before the original 505(b)(2) application was submitted. Burden for 
these provisions is included under OMB control number 0910-0786.
    Section 314.50(j) requires that applicants who request a period of 
marketing exclusivity submit certain information with the application.
    Section 314.50(k) requires that the application contain a financial 
certification or disclosure statement or both.
    Section 314.50(l) requires that an archival, review, and field copy 
of the application be submitted, including the content of labeling and 
all labeling and labels.
    Section 314.52 requires that any notice of certification of 
invalidity, unenforceability, or non-infringement of a patent to each 
patent owner and the NDA holder be sent by a section 505(b)(2) 
applicant that relies on a listed drug. A 505(b)(2) applicant is 
required to amend the application at the time notice is provided to 
include a statement certifying that the required notice has been 
provided. A 505(b)(2) applicant also is required to amend the 
application to document receipt of the required notice. Burden hours 
for these provisions are included in OMB control number 0910-0786.
    Section 314.53 sets forth the patent information requirements for 
applicants who submit applications or amendments to the application 
filed under section 505(b)(2) of the FD&C Act or supplements to the 
approved 505(b)(2) application. Burden hours for these collections are 
approved in OMB control number 0910-0786.
    Section 314.54 sets forth the content requirements for applications 
filed under section 505(b)(2) of the FD&C Act. The burden estimate for

application, the applicant may request an informal conference with FDA 
and request that the application be filed over protest.
    Section 314.102 covers communications between FDA and applicants,

Level Under GDUFA [the Generic Drug User Fee Act]; Guidance for 
Industry.''
    Section 314.107(c) requires notice to FDA by the first applicant to 
submit a substantially complete ANDA containing a certification that a 
relevant patent is invalid, unenforceable, or will not be infringed of 
the date of first commercial marketing. The burden estimate for Sec.

refusal to approve the application, including lack of a patent 
certification or statement with respect to each listed patent for an 
approved drug product that is pharmaceutically equivalent to the drug 
product for which the original 505(b)(2) application is submitted and

\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of
  information.
\2\ For most elements, ``Total Hours'' reflects estimated average burden as calculated by multiplying the number
  of respondents by the frequency of response and time necessary for the corresponding activity. In other
  instances, ``Total Hours'' is the average burden we attribute to all respondents, where individual respondent
  and time-frequency values have been estimated. All figures have been rounded to the nearest whole number.

    We retain the currently approved burden estimate for the 
information collection associated with the provisions identified above. 
At the same time, we have added burden estimate associated with Sec.  
314.103, although in an effort to reduce burden, we have issued 
associated guidance to assist respondents with the relevant information 
collection.

                                               respondents, where individual respondent and time-frequency values have been estimated. All figures have been rounded to the nearest whole
                                               number.
