Abstract: This ICR collects information from certain drug and biologic manufacturers who are subject to Prescription Drug User fees. These fees are related to the submission of certain new drug and biologics license applications as well as for certain approved annual program fees. In addition, the ICR collects information relating to the submission of requests for waivers, exemptions, reductions, or for refunds of these user fees. Manufacturers submit information in accordance with established statutory authorities. Form FDA 3397, Prescription Drug User Fee Cover Sheet, and Form FDA 3971, Small Business Waivers and Refund Requests, were developed to assist respondents with submission of required information.
