This information collection supports
agency guidance. The guidance implements provisions added to the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act by the Drug Quality and
Security Act in which Congress created a new category of
"outsourcing facilities" that compound human drugs. Section 503B of
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 353b) allows
persons or entities to register with FDA as outsourcing facilities,
and the guidance discusses the process for doing so. Respondents to
the collection are those engaged in these activities.
