OMB does not
approve the package and files the following comment. OMB is
concerned that the reporting and recordkeeping requirements in the
NPRM are overly burdensome and wishes to allow the private sector
the opportunity to consider the NPRM. Specifically, OMB has
concerns about the utility of various label formats to inform
consumers about purchasing and using OTC drug products in a manner
that will improve their health. When the paperwork package is
re-submitted for OMB approval at the final rule stage, FDA will
directly address OMB's concerns and all comments received on these
issues in the preamble of the rule and in the paperwork submission
package.
