Abstract: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published an interim final rule on December 19, 2011 amending its postmarketing reporting regulations implementing certain provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act). The provisions of the FD&C Act require manufacturers who are the sole manufacturers of certain drug products to notify FDA at least 6 months before discontinuance of manufacture of the products. The interim final rule modified the term "discontinuance" and clarified the term "sole manufacturer" with respect to notification of discontinuance requirements. The broader reporting resulting from these changes will enable FDA to improve its collection and distribution of drug shortage information to physician and patient organizations and to work with manufacturers and other stakeholders to respond to potential drug shortages.
