The primary purpose of FDA's Adverse Experience Reporting (AER) system is to identify potentially serious safety problems with licensed biological products, focusing especially on newly licensed products. Although premarket testing discloses a general safety profile of a new drug's comparatively common adverse effects, the larger and more diverse patient populations exposed to the licensed biological product provides, for the first time, the opportunity to collect information on rare, latent, and long-term effects. AER reports are obtained from a variety of sources, including manufacturers, patients, physicians, foreign regulatory agencies, and clinical investigators.
The general recordkeeping provisions require manufacturers of licensed biological products for human use to maintain records of each step in the manufacture and distribution of products. The recordkeeping requirements serve preventative and remedial purposes by establishing accountability and traceability in the manufacture and distribution of products.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).

(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
