Abstract: The Food and Drug Administration is requesting OMB approval of information collection activities resulting from regulations at 21 CFR section 310.306, 314.81(b)(3)(iii), 314.92, and 600.82 as amended by the attached proposed rule, implementing section 506C and 506E of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The proposed rule would require all applicants of covered, approved prescription drug or biological products, certain applicants of blood or blood compoents for transfusion, and all manufacturers of covered prescription drugs marketed without an approved application, to notify FDA electronically of a permanent discontinuance or an interruption in manufacturing of the product that is likely to lead to a meaningful disruption in supply (significant disruption in supply for blood or blood components) of the product in the United States. The proposed rule would also require applicants and unapproved drug manufacturers to respond to any non-compliance letters issued for failure to comply with the proposed rule.
