Abstract: This information collection involves interviews of pharmaceutical manufacturers who submit new molecular entity (NME) new drug application(NDAs) and original biologics license applications (BLAs) to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the Program for Enhanced Review Transparency and Communication ("the Program") during fiscal years (FYs) 2013-2017. The Program is part of the FDA performance committments under the fifth authorization of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) that allows FDA to collect user fees for the review of human drug and biologics applications for FYs 2013-2017. The Program is described in detail in Section II.B of the document entitled "PDUFA Reauthorization Performance Goals and Procedures Fiscal Years 2013 through 2017" (the "Commitment Letter). This document specifies that the Program must be evaluated in interim and final assessments by an independent contractor and that these assessments must include interviews of sponsors who submit NME NDAs and original BLAs that are reviewed under the Program. The purpose of these interviews is to collect feedback from applicants on the success of the Program in promoting review transparency and communication during the review process.
