Abstract: This information collection helps support implementation of Sections 503A and 503B of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), which governs pharmacy compounding and outsourcing facilities. References to statutory reporting, recordkeeping, and disclosures are discussed in specific FDA guidance documents, however we intend the ICR to account for burden that may be attributable to recommended tasks not accounted for elsewhere in our active collection invetory .

Emergency Justfication: Unanticipated staffing adjustments have significantly impacted the timeliness with which FDA is able to publish its requisite documents in the Federal Register. As a result, we are unable to publish our 30-day notice prior to the expiration date of this information collection. We are therefore submitting this ICR in accordance with our understanding of requirements in 5 CFR 1320.13, noting that we believe the collection of information Is needed prior to the expiration of established time periods under the PRA and is essential to the mission of the agency. While an unanticipated event has recently occurred that has disrupted processing of the collection of information, we expect to meet applicable deadlines within a 30-day period. We are therefore requesting an approval date of March 1, 2026, by which time we expect our 30-day notice (attached for OMB reference) will have published and at which time we will subsequently submit an ICR in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.10, as we believe applicable to this ICR.
