The Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act of 2002 (MDUFMA) requires FDA to collect a user fee from each person who submits certain medical device applications for FDA review. A "small business" is eligible for reduced or waived fees; small business fees for FY 2010. If an applicant does not provide information to FDA demonstrating to FDA's satisfaction that the applicant is a small business, the applicant must pay the standard (full) fee for any application it submits.
