Abstract:
FDA regulations at 21 CFR 201.25 requires bar codes on the labels of most human prescription drug products and on certain OTC drug products. Most of the information collection resulting from this regulation is covered under existing OMB control numbers. This ICR only requests OMB approval for waiver requests from the bar code requirement. A request that FDA waive the bar code requirement for a particular drug product must include the following information: (1) Compliance with the bar code requirement would adversely affect the safety, effectiveness, purity, or potency of the drug or not be technologically feasible, and the concerns underlying the request could not reasonably be addressed by measures such as package redesign or use of overwraps; or (2) an alternative regulatory program or method of product use renders the bar code unnecessary for patient safety.
