This guidance is intended to assist
applicants in developing labeling for outcome claims for drugs that
are indicated to treat hypertension. The appropriate use of these
drugs can be encouraged by making the connection between lower
blood pressure and improved cardiovascular outcomes more explicit
in labeling.
The requested burden hours for
the 2010 ICR was 290 hours. ROCIS erroneously approved the total
hours as 14 so the current total burden hours shows as 14 in
ICRAS/ROCIS. Therefore, although ICRAS/ROCIS shows an increase in
burden (from 14 to 410) the actual increase in burden is 290 to 410
(a difference of 120 hours) which results from an adjustment based
on a review of the data we received on this ICR over the past few
years.
