Abstract: The guidance implements provisions added to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) in the Drug Quality and Security Act (DQSA), which created a statutory category of "outsourcing facilities" that compound human drugs. Section 503B of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 353b) requires compounders that register with FDA as outsourcing facilities to report adverse events to FDA. Specifically, under section 503B(b)(5) of the FD&C Act, an outsourcing facility must submit adverse event reports to FDA "in accordance with the content and format requirements established through guidance or regulation under section 310.305 of title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (or any successor regulations)." We are requesting OMB approval of the information collection resulting from adverse event reporting for outsourcing facilities.
