This information
request is approved for 90 days. During that time FDA is to
re-estimate the burden for the subject applications. OMB believes
that the burden estimate of 2 hrs/response may be grossly
underestimated. OMB's definition of burden includes all the time it
takes to respond to an information collection request, including
time required to read instructions, time required to assemble
source materials, time required to process materials and put them
into the necessary format and the time required to report the
information. Therefore, time required for laboratory testing of new
drugs or biologics (see 21CFR 601.2) should be included in burden
estimates. Additionally, within the 90 day period, FDA should
request approval for all information collection required by 21CFR
600 - Subchapter F which have not already been submitted for
clearance.
