This information collection supports implementation of the Prescription Drug Marketing Act and FDA regulations. The regulations are intended to protect the public against the threat of subpotent, adulterated, counterfeit, and misbranded drugs posed by the existence of drug diversion schemes and a drug diversion submarket, and the absence of appropriate controls over and creation and maintenance of appropriate records regarding the distribution of prescription drugs.
The information collection reflects adjustments. Since last renewal we have adjusted our estimate of the overall burden downward to reflect a decrease of 2,567,562 hours and 64,432,231 records annually. This reflects the removal of burden associated with provisions in 21 CFR Part 203 that are no longer in effect following enactment of the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA). The agency is currently in the process of making corresponding changes to the regulations (0910-AH56). While we have not received any such reports, the information collection is provided for in the regulations and we retain the 1 hour of annual burden and 1 annual response in the event such submissions are received.
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).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
