Under the prescription drug user fee provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (sections 735 and 736 (21 U.S.C. 379g and 379h)), as amended, FDA has the authority to assess and collect user fees for certain drug and biologics license applications and supplements. The Prescription Drug User Fee Cover Sheet, Form FDA 3397, is required to be included with each applicable new drug application (NDA), biologics license application (BLA), and supplemental application to an NDA or BLA submitted to FDA for review. The Prescription Drug User Fee Cover Sheet is designed to provide the minimum necessary information to determine whether a fee is required for the review of an application, to determine the amount of the fee required, and to account for and track user fees. The information collected is used by FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) and Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) to initiate the administrative screening of new drug applications, biologics license applications and/or supplemental applications to those applications.
