Terms of Clearance:
This ICR is approved for 2 years. FDA acknowledges that some of the burden associated with this rule is duplicative and due to agency discretion (i.e. the requirement that respondents make a separate submission regarding authorized generics, even if that information may already be included in the annual reports respondents submit to the FDA). Prior to renewal, FDA should explore alternatives (e.g. revising the annual report submissions so that FDA can more easily identify the information on authorized generics it needs in order to fulfill its statutory obligations so that the annual report submission could fulfill both purposes with one submission) and be prepared to implement a plan to eliminate this duplication.

Abstract:
The rulemaking requires the holder of an NDA to notify the agency when an authorized generic drug is marketed by clearly including this information in annual reports in an easily accessible place and by sending a copy of the relevant portion of the annual reports to a central office. FDA is taking this action to implement FDAAA which requires that FDA publish a list of all authorized generic drugs included in an annual report since 1999 and that the agency update the list quarterly. FDA plans to publish this list on the Internet and to notify relevant Federal agencies that the list has been published and will be updated.

Short Statement:
This is a new collection for a final rule. To comply with FDAAA 2007, FDA is adding a regulatory requirement that annual reports specifically and clearly include the required information, and that the NDA holder report the date the authorized generic drug ceased being distributed. In addition, the regulation is requiring that a copy of that portion of the annual report containing information on any authorized generic drug be sent to a central office in the agency that will compile the list and update it quarterly.
