SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    PQ/CMC is a term used to describe manufacturing and quality control 
information submitted to FDA in support of submissions. PQ/CMC plays an 
integral part in the regulatory review process and life cycle 
management of pharmaceutical products. This information is primarily 
submitted in Module 3 of the Electronic Common Technical Document. The 
standardization of PQ/CMC data elements and terminologies will 
facilitate the Agency's transition to a streamlined electronic review 
environment.
    FDA intends to identify and standardize data elements and 
terminologies for information commonly used and submitted in support of 
drug product applications. The impetus for this standardization effort 
was the provisions from the Food and Drug Administration Safety and 
Innovation Act (21 U.S.C. 301 note) (Pub. L. 112-144), which authorized 
the Agency to require certain submissions to be submitted in a 
specified electronic format. The development of a structured format for 
PQ/CMC data will enable consistency in the content and format of PQ/CMC 
data submitted, thus providing a consistent look and feel for every 
application, and, in general, contributing to a more efficient and 
effective regulatory decision-making process by creating standardized 
data dictionaries.
    As part of this effort, in 2017, FDA released a FRN presenting a 
``Draft Standardization of Pharmaceutical Quality/Chemistry 
Manufacturing and Control Data Elements and Terminologies'' for public 
comment (https://www.federalregister.gov/a/2017-14456). FDA has 
subsequently utilized the comments received to revise and improve the 
data elements, terminologies, and definitions for PQ/CMC 
standardization. FDA intends to continue public engagement regarding 
PQ/CMC data standards development by holding the public meeting 
announced in this notice. After the public meeting, the Agency intends 
to issue a draft guidance on the standardization of PQ/CMC data 
elements and terminologies for electronic submissions.

II. Purpose of the Public Meeting

    The purpose of the October 19, 2018, public meeting is to provide 
members of the pharmaceutical industry and other interested 
stakeholders an opportunity to discuss with FDA, and provide input on, 
topics and issues related to standardized data for electronic 
submission of PQ/CMC data, as detailed in the FRN, ``Draft 
Standardization of Pharmaceutical Quality/Chemistry Manufacturing and 
Control Data Elements and Terminologies,'' released in 2017 for public 
comment (https://www.federalregister.gov/a/2017-14456). FDA will use 
the information from the public meeting to improve the usability of the 
proposed data standards. The public meeting will focus on the current 
state of PQ/CMC standardization and its future development, to which 
the output and comments from this meeting will contribute. Topics of 
discussion may include:
     Ongoing development of PQ/CMC data elements and 
terminologies, including revisions informed by public response to the 
``Draft Standardization'' FRN, developing the technical specifications 
for PQ/CMC data submissions, and upcoming development and testing of 
PQ/CMC data exchange mechanisms.
     Ongoing efforts to maximize harmonization of PQ/CMC 
standardization with other national and international data 
standardization activities sharing the same domain space as PQ/CMC 
(e.g., International Organization for Standardization Identification of 
Medicinal Products (ISO IDMP) standards development, the European 
Medicines Agency's Substance, Product, Organisation and Referential 
(SPOR) Master Data initiative).
     An understanding of industry business practices regarding 
submission of PQ/CMC data which will help to inform development of PQ/
CMC standardization.
    FDA will consider all comments made at this meeting or received 
through the docket (see ADDRESSES).

III. Participating in the Public Meeting

    Registration: To register to attend ``Standardized Data for
