FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Domini Bean, Office of Operations, Food and Drug Administration, Three White Flint North, 10A-12M, 11601 Landsdown St., North Bethesda, MD 20852, 301-796-5733, [email protected]. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance. Prescription Drug Marketing Act of 1987--Administrative Procedures, Policies, and Requirements OMB Control Number 0910-0435--Extension This information collection supports FDA regulations codified at part 203 (21 CFR part 203) implementing the Prescription Drug Marketing Act of 1987 (PDMA). The PDMA was intended to ensure safe and effective drug products and to avoid an unacceptable risk that counterfeit, adulterated, misbranded, subpotent, or expired drugs are sold to consumers. The reporting and recordkeeping requirements found in the regulations are intended to help achieve the following goals: (1) To ban the reimportation of prescription drugs produced in the United States, except when reimported by the manufacturer or under FDA authorization for emergency medical care; (2) to ban the sale, purchase, or trade, or the offer to sell, purchase, or trade, of any prescription drug sample; (3) to limit the distribution of drug samples to practitioners licensed or authorized to prescribe such drugs or to pharmacies of hospitals or other healthcare entities at the request of a licensed or authorized practitioner; (4) to require licensed or authorized practitioners to request prescription drug samples in writing; (5) to mandate storage, handling, and recordkeeping requirements for prescription drug samples; (6) to prohibit, with certain exceptions, the sale, purchase, or trade, or the offer to sell, purchase, or trade, of prescription drugs that were purchased by hospitals or other healthcare entities or that were donated or supplied at a reduced price to a charitable organization; and (7) to require unauthorized wholesale distributors to provide, prior to the wholesale distribution of a prescription drug to another wholesale distributor or retail pharmacy, a statement identifying each prior sale, purchase, or trade of the drug. In the Federal Register of December 14, 2017 (82 FR 58808), we published a notice soliciting public comment of the information collection. One caller responded to the notice asking about the impact the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) (Title II of the Drug Quality Security Act of 2013) has on the information collection. We note that the Agency is currently proposing to amend its regulations at part 203 to reflect changes resulting from enactment of the DSCSA (RIN 0910-AH56). While we expect these changes will result in a reduction of burden associated with the information collection, current regulations and associated information collection requirements remain in effect. Upon finalization of rulemaking, we will revise the information collection accordingly. We therefore estimate the burden for the information collection as follows: [[Page 24128]] Table 1--Estimated Annual Reporting Burden \1\ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of 21 CFR section/a ctivity Number of responses per Total annual Average burden Total hours respondents respondent responses per response ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 203.11--Reimportation.......... 1 1 1 0.5 (30 1 minutes). 203.30(a)(1) and (b)--Drug 61,961 12 743,532 0.06 (4 44,612 sample requests. minutes). 203.30(a)(3), (a)(4), and (c)-- 61,961 12 743,532 0.06 (4 44,612 Drug sample receipts. minutes). 203.31(a)(1) and (b)--Drug 232,355 135 31,367,925 0.04 (2.5 1,254,717 sample requests. minutes). 203.31(a)(3), (a)(4), and (c)-- 232,355 135 31,367,925 0.03 (2 941,038 Drug sample receipts. minutes). 203.37(a)--Falsification of 50 4 200 0.25 (15 50 records. minutes). 203.37(b)--Loss or theft of 50 40 2,000 0.25 (15 500 samples. minutes). 203.37(c)--Convictions......... 1 1 1 1.............. 1 203.37(d)--Contact person...... 50 1 50 0.08 (5 4 minutes). 203.39(g)--Reconciliation 1 1 1 1.............. 1 report. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total...................... .............. .............. .............. ............... 2,285,536 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.
