Prescription Drug User Fee Act; Reopening of the Comment Period

요약

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is reopening until October 31, 2011, the comment period for the notice of public meeting that published in the Federal Register of March 16, 2010 (75 FR 12555). In the notice, FDA announced a public meeting to solicit input on the reauthorization of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) program. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) requires public review of the recommendations for the human drug review program after negotiations with the regulated industry conclude. FDA expects that this additional public process will be complete by October 2011. FDA is reopening the comment period for the expected duration of the public part of the reauthorization process to ensure that all interested stakeholders have the opportunity to share their views on the matter.
