The Public Health Service Act and FDA
regulations require manufacturers to submit a license application
for review and approval prior to marketing a biological product in
interstate commerce. In addition, applicants must submit to FDA
advertising and promotional labeling. Manufacturers or applicants
or are also required to submit changes, including labeling, changes
to an approved application, as well as advertising and promotional
labeling changes. The information submitted to FDA in a biologics
license application, supplement to an approved application, or
other similar submission is used to determine if a product is safe,
effective, and not misbranded under prescribed, recommended, or
suggested conditions of use. The regulations also describe the
types of postmarketing studies (PMS) that require status reports,
the information to be included in the reports, and the type of
information that FDA would consider appropriate for public
disclosure. FDA uses the information submitted from PMS reports to
meet its reporting obligations under section 506B of the Food Drug
& Cosmetic Act and section 130(b) of the Food and Drug
Administration Modernization Act.

FDA’s estimated burden for the
information collection reflects an overall increase of 105,867
hours and a decrease of 2,649 responses. We attribute this
adjustment to an increase in the number of submissions we have
received under 21 CFR 601.12(f)(4) and 601.45, and 21 CFR
601.12(b)(1), (b)(3), and (e) over the last few years. We attribute
the decrease in responses to a decrease in responses received under
21 CFR 601.12(a)(5) and 601.27(b) over the last few years. Also,
while we have consolidated the IC elements as they appear at
omb.report., we have retained the itemized burden table in Question
12 as included in our Federal Register notices.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
