This ICR collects information from
customers who wish to electronically submit a user fee refund
request for a duplicate payment, overpayment or for a withdrawn
application or submission. Respondents submit organization, contact
and payment information. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has
developed Form 3913 to facilitate its review and processing of user
fee payment refunds. The information is used to determine the
reason for the refund, the refund amount and who to contact if
there are any questions regarding the refund request. A submission
of the User Fee Payment Refund Request form does not guarantee that
a refund will be issued. Additionally, this ICR collects
information from customers who wish to electronically submit a
request to transfer a user fee payment from one cover sheet or
invoice to another cover sheet or invoice. Respondents submit
payment and organization information. FDA has developed Form 3914
to facilitate its review and processing of user fee payment
transfer requests. The information is used to determine the reason
for the transfer, how the transfer should be performed and who to
contact if there are any questions regarding the transfer request.
A submission of the User Fee Payment Transfer Request form does not
guarantee that a transfer will be performed.
The estimated annual hourly
burden, formerly estimated as 1,105 hours, has decreased by 224
hours to a total estimated annual hourly burden of 881 hours. These
are determined by the number of refund/transfer requests received
from industry. As the user fee programs mature, processes and
procedures utilized by industry also mature, leading to fewer
requests for transfers of fees or refunds.
