Title: REQUEST FOR CERTIFICATION OF AN INSULIN BATCH
Type of Information Collection: Reinstatement with change of a previously approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 11/14/1990
	Date Received in OIRA: 08/24/1990
Terms of Clearance: This information collection is approved for use until November 30,1991 OMB understands that the current system has been in use for many years and during this time FDA's duplicative testing has uncovered few problems. There are products FDA continues to test which have never had any problems thorughout decades of testing. The insulin market also includes only two manufacturers, and historically has been occupied by less than a handful of firms. For these reasons, FDA must consider the following for its next submission: FDA will seek a legal determination of 1) its need to continue duplicative batch testing, 2) any prohibition on reliance solely on manufacturers data as a basis for certifying batches, and 3) what decisions FDA can make about a pending certification request for a product based on problems discovered in previously certified batches of the same product. FDA will also present its evaluation of alternatives to the current testing system, including 1) elimination of testing and reliance on the NDA approval process and post-marketing surveillance and 2) elimination of testing for products available for decades for which no problems has ever been detected.
