(3) A manufacturer, repacker, relabeler, or private label distributor may voluntarily reserve a proposed NDC for a drug, before the drug is listed, by submitting the following information: (i) A proposed NDC that conforms to the requirements of this section; (ii) The established name of the active ingredient(s) and the strength of each active ingredient in the drug; and. The definition of commercial distribution in new 207.1 excludes drugs distributed for investigational use under part 312 (21 CFR part 312) or part 511 (21 CFR part 511). For purposes of this paragraph (b), human whole blood and blood products do not include plasma derivatives such as albumin, Immune Globulin, Factor VIII and Factor IX, and recombinant versions of plasma derivatives or animal derived plasma derivatives, or bulk product substances such as fractionation intermediates or pastes. Sections 503A(b)(1)(A) and 503B(a)(2) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. If those two conditions do not exist, FDA would accept a listing from the new contract manufacturer under a new NDC that includes the private label distributor's labeler code. (Response) At issue in this rulemaking are changes to FDA's regulations governing drug establishment registration and listing, i.e., changes to the codified language presented in the proposed rule and in this final rule. Part 207, Subpart DListing (timing of drug listing and update submissions and substance of the information submitted). The final rule lengthens from 10 business days to 30 calendar days the time period for reporting changes in the United States agent's information to FDA. (Comment 51) Some comments were concerned about the types of changes to a drug that would require a new NDC in the proposed rule. (Response) Some biological drugs intended for administration to animals are regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) under the Virus, Serum, and Toxins Act of 1913. Section 207.29 differs from the current requirement to submit amendments to registration in the following ways: New registration information collected under the final rule includes the certification that no changes have occurred and reporting certain changes as expedited updates within 30 calendar days. It allows the look-up and verification of any entitys FEI. One requested clarification regarding the manner in which a contract manufacturer or packager would submit listing information for an investigational drug manufactured or packaged for use in a clinical trial. These regulations do not describe the electronic drug registration and listing systems developed by FDA, which may change from time to time. the current document as it appeared on Public Inspection on Manufacture includes the making by chemical, physical, biological, or other procedures or manipulations of a drug, or an animal feed bearing or containing a new animal drug, including control procedures applied to the final product or to any part of the process. You need to log in to one of the FEI IT platforms and can't remember your FEI ID number? For example, FDA's 2003 Part 11 Guidance states that we do not intend to take action to enforce compliance with the validation and audit trail requirements of part 11. Allows registrants to submit a blanket no changes certification applicable to listing information they have previously submitted electronically, rather than making product-by-product no changes certifications for individual listed drugs. the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with Proposed 207.21 described when initial registration information must be submitted for an establishment newly required to register under part 207. These provisions of the FD&C Act and others, together with section 701(a) of the FD&C Act, provide authority for requiring the Start Printed Page 60203submission of listing information set forth in this proposal. These costs are discussed in section VII, Economic Analysis of Impacts.. Our regulations have long stated that FDA will expand the labeler code from five to six numeric characters when the available five-character code combinations are exhausted (previous 207.35(b)(2)(i)). The failure to register or list under section 510 is a prohibited act under section 301(p) of the FD&C Act, and the failure to do either renders a drug misbranded under section 502(o) of the FD&C Act. Based on the number of registered establishments in our database, we estimate that approximately 10,000 registrants will provide approximately 10,000 annual reviews and updates of registration information (including expedited updates) or reviews and certifications that no changes have occurred. These information elements do not differ depending on whether the registrant handles APIs, other unfinished drugs, or finished drugs. Class II Products that might cause a temporary health problem, or pose only a slight threat of a serious nature. Proposed 207.49 identified the information that a registrant must provide with a drug listing submission for a drug it manufactures. (Comment 61) One comment encouraged FDA to provide flexibility in the timing of new drug listing submissions. 35. As proposed, 207.61 would have allowed advertisements and some labeling to be submitted to FDA either in paper or electronic format. The electronic submission requirement is consistent with FDAAA and with current practice.Start Printed Page 60171. Accordingly, registrants should not have difficulty determining, with adequate certainty, the NDC for a drug under development. A registrant who also relabels or repacks a drug that it salvages must list the drug it relabels or repacks in accordance with 207.53 rather than in accordance with this section. We do not expect these entities to renew their registrations after the effective date of this final rule. Scope (Establishment registration and product listing for manufacturers of human blood and blood products.). Adds the UFI of the parent establishment to blood product listing information required under 607.25(b)(3). A facility at which drugs are merely stored may not require registration under this final rule, unless the facility includes, for example, controlled storage for stability testing as an element of good manufacturing practices. (Comment 25) Comments from the medical gas industry expressed concern about the ability of entities such as pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, and emergency responders to refill medical gas cylinders if the repackaging would require the repacker's NDC to appear on the label of the repackaged product. Features of the proposed rule that have not been finalized include most significantly: (1) A requirement that FDA, not registrants, develop national drug codes (NDCs) for assignment to listed drugs and (2) a requirement that the NDC appear in human-readable form on the label of each listed drug and provisions that would have defined the appropriate NDC for that purpose. Accordingly, the reasons supporting this finding discussed previously apply to updates submitted under 207.57. Under 207.41, registrants must list drugs they manufacture, repack, relabel, or salvage for commercial distribution. There are other mechanisms that can be used for medical food product reimbursement, and the secondary impact from FDA enforcement of existing rules is not part of a regulatory impact analysis of new requirements. One comment expressed concern that subjecting OTC monograph products to an NDC assignment process could begin to resemble an FDA approval process for such products. IOLMASTER 500 with Option Reference Image; IOLMASTER 500 with Reference Image mode; Zeiss Cataract Suite Markerless, microscope, operating & accessories, ac-powered, ophthalmic In certain cases, and as discussed in section VIII.E, if it is unreasonable to expect a person to submit registration and listing information electronically, FDA may grant a waiver from the electronic submission requirement. Regarding animal drugs, in part four of the definition of content of labeling and in other places throughout this final rule, the phrase subject to section 512 means, for purposes of this final rule, drugs meeting the definition of new animal drug as that term is defined in section 201(v) of the FD&C Act, and which therefore are subject to some or all of the provisions relating to new animal drugs found in section 512 of the FD&C Act. We believe there is currently a high level of cooperation with FDA's request in 201.2 that NDCs appear in human-readable form on labels, as drug manufacturers recognize the importance of this information. (b) FDA's acceptance of registration and listing information, inclusion of a drug in our database of drugs, or assignment of an NDC does not denote approval of the establishment or the drug or any other drugs of the establishment, nor does it mean that the drug may be legally marketed. (Response) This final rule does not include the proposed amendments to 201.2 that would have made human-readable NDCs mandatory on drug labels. This information is treated as establishment registration information under section 510(i) of the FD&C Act and under 207.25 of this final rule, rather than as drug listing information. In addition to making human-readable NDCs on drug labels mandatory, the proposed rule would have specified which NDC must appear on labels. When we grant a request for a waiver, we intend to make available to the manufacturer the paper formForm FDA 2830 for registration and listing. Note, however, that FDA would also accept multiple listings if a manufacturer in this situation wished for any reason to submit separate listings and NDCs for the same drug manufactured at multiple establishments. For purposes of this part, Start Printed Page 60214and in order to clarify the responsibilities of the entities engaged in different operations, the term manufacturer is defined and used separately from the terms relabeler, repacker, and salvager, although the term manufacture, preparation, propagation, compounding, or processing, as used in section 510 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, includes the activities of relabelers, repackers, and salvagers. In some cases, they may submit an NDC with a package code corresponding to a 55-gallon drum, for example, and use that packaging to ship 55-gallon orders as well as orders that are slightly less than 55 gallons in volume. This comment noted that the proposed rule's definition of importer appeared to include domestic transplant centers (hospitals) housing patients awaiting hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplant and argued that requiring foreign establishments to identify such hospitals as importers would be unreasonably burdensome. Products regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), are subject to review by the agency when they are offered for entry into the U.S. The submission of drug listing information is the only mechanism by which FDA has quick access to the labeling that is currently in use for marketed OTC drug products. Even if the drug product is not yet ready for commercial distribution upon approval, SPL allows for a future start marketing date in the listing information so that a second submission is not necessary when the product is commercially launched. This analysis does not apply to an entity that uses one or more contract manufacturers to manufacture, repack, relabel, or salvage a drug. As noted in response to Comment 81, however, the amended regulations adopted in this rulemaking do not describe the electronic drug registration and listing systems developed by FDA. The official contact is responsible for: (1) Ensuring the accuracy of registration and listing information; and. (This discussion pertains only to drug listing obligations. Overview of the SUPPORT Act Provisions Related to Imports We note, as a matter of clarification, that in section 510(i) of the FD&C Act and in 207.25 of the final rule, the requirement that foreign establishments identify each person who imports or offers for import is not said to be limited to persons known to the establishment (unlike the requirement that they identify importers). Contract manufacturers felt there should be a separate analysis of their sector of the industry as did medical gas firms who asserted their numbers were underrepresented. Under current part 207, we assign a labeler code to each registrant and the registrant assigns the product code and the package code for each drug product's NDC. The .gov means its official.Federal government websites often end in .gov or .mil. It would not be feasible to require the NDC for a repacked or relabled drug to include the labeler code of the repacker or relabeler combined with the product code of the source drug. Specifically, FDA has made a finding that nondisclosure of the listing information identified in the following bulleted list would be inconsistent with protection of the public health, except in limited circumstances as described in 207.81(c): (Comment 86) One comment requested that FDA not disclose the names of inactive ingredients in animal drugs submitted with drug listing information. This final rule will not result in an expenditure in any year that meets or exceeds this amount. Information obtained under 207.33 will be available for public disclosure, but only after a drug is marketed. d. Foreign. Human Drugs Program. As discussed in our response to Comment 52, this final rule reduces the number of occasions when a change to a drug requires a new NDC under 207.35. Amend 314.125 in paragraph (b)(11) by removing the words or processed. 151 et seq. (Response) This comment relates to a wide variety of situations. The guidance describes the types of information to include for purposes of drug establishment registration and drug listing and how to prepare and submit the information in an electronic format (Structured Product Labeling (SPL) files) that FDA can process, review, and archive. What products require FDA approval? Neither proposed amendment to 201.25 is retained in the final rule. Please note: Shellfish shippers must use their ICSSL number. We proposed to define establishment in 207.1 as a place of business under one management at one geographic location. The definition in proposed 207.1 also stated one geographic location may include separate buildings within the same city if their activities are closely related to the same business enterprise and are under the supervision of the same local management., Rather than adopt this proposed definition, the final rule retains the definition of the term establishment that has appeared in the part 207 regulations since 1980. Accordingly, an establishment at which an investigational drug is manufactured is subject to the establishment registration requirement. (For drugs subject to an approved marketing application, the electronic submission of the content of labeling under current 314.50(l)(1)(i) is also approved under OMB control number 0910-0001.) After the proposed rule was published, FDASIA amended section 510 of the FD&C Act to require persons subject to the drug establishment registration requirement to submit a UFI. Likewise, the UFI, currently specified as Start Printed Page 60176the DUNS number, must be submitted when registering an establishment for the first time under 207.25. 264) and not under section 351 will remain subject to registration and listing under part 1271. How to register establishments and list blood products. Private label distributors are not obligatedby their status as private label distributorsto register an establishment or list drugs. (Comment 53) The Animal Health Institute noted that Animal Drug User Fee Act (ADUFA) fees are assessed for each animal drug NDC. Registrants must also notify FDA if any listed drug has been discontinued from marketing or if any discontinued drug has been reintroduced and provide listing information for any drug not yet listed (at the time of annual establishment registration if not sooner). (Comment 82) One comment noted that at the time of the proposed rule and the comment period, FDA's electronic drug registration and listing system had yet to be developed. Section 207.35 of this final rule does not include any material change to a drug's labeling or package insert among the changes that necessitate a new NDC. Registrants of foreign establishments subject to this part must designate a single United States agent. Other Federal and State requirements may apply to such facilities. To obtain an FEI number for a GDUFA-related facility, email [email protected] To obtain an FEI number for a PDUFA- or BsUFA-related facility, email The following definitions apply to this part: Active pharmaceutical ingredient means any substance that is intended for incorporation into a finished drug product and is intended to furnish pharmacological activity or other direct effect in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or to affect the structure or any function of the body. Note: If you need help accessing information in different file formats, see Submission of a request for waiver does not excuse timely compliance with the registration and listing requirements. Thus, 207.49 requires that an approved U.S. application number be provided with drug listing information only if it exists. States more broadly the conditions under which FDA will grant waiver requests. Although the Agency recognizes that the existence of such animal drugs is theoretically possible, we believe it is unlikely that any currently marketed animal drug product is grandfathered or otherwise not a new animal drug subject to section 512 of the FD&C Act. Manufacturers of HCT/Ps that are regulated under section 361 of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. (l) The exemptions provided in paragraphs (a) through (k) of this section do not apply to such persons if they: (1) Manufacture (as defined in 207.1(b)), repack, relabel, or salvage compounded positron emission tomography drugs as defined in section 201(ii) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; (2) Manufacture (as defined in 600.3(u) of this chapter) a human biological product subject to licensing under section 351 of the Public Health Service Act; or. (Comment 83) One comment recommended that to facilitate the annual review and updating of both establishment registration and drug listing information, FDA provide registrants with a report of their current registration and listing information. As discussed in response to Comment 19, under new 207.49, if a private label distributor uses a contract manufacturer to produce a human drug, the contract manufacturer has an obligation to list the drug under two NDCs, one that includes the labeler code of the contract manufacturer and one that includes the labeler code of the private label distributor. 510k number . The listing and NDC information collections required by the final rule are already approved by OMB under OMB control number 0910-0045, except for the following: (1) The name of each inactive ingredient in a listed drug (assertions of confidentiality associated with individual inactive ingredients are covered in the electronic registration and listing guidance); (2) additional information, such as email address, to identify a domestic registrant (identifying information for foreign registrants is part of the electronic registration and listing guidance information collection and in current 207.40(c)); (3) the drug master file or veterinary master file number, if one exists, must be submitted by the manufacturer for an unfinished drug; (4) drug product salvagers (who do not repack or relabel) must submit the lot number and expiration date and NDC assigned to the drug immediately before the drug is received by the drug product salvager; (5) all new labeling for a repacked or relabeled drug must be submitted, and not only the changed labeling; (6) package type and volume information corresponding to the package code segment of the NDC must be submitted; (7) a drug's OTC monograph reference (if any) and the date on which the drug was or will be introduced into commercial distribution are both requested for voluntary submission; and (8) the name and Unique Facility Identifier (UFI) of the establishment where the registrant who lists the drug manufactures it and the type of operation performed on the drug at that establishment, and, if an immediate source NDC is not provided, the name and UFI of every other establishment where manufacturing is performed for the drug and the type of operation performed at each such establishment must be provided. Class III Products that are unlikely to cause any adverse health reaction, but that violate FDA labeling or manufacturing laws. for better understanding how a document is structured but Before sharing sensitive information, make sure you're on a federal government site. (Assertions of confidentiality associated with individual inactive ingredients or the registrant's business relationship with an establishment is part of the June 2009 electronic registration and listing guidance information collection and is covered under OMB control number 0910-0045). The United States agent must reside or maintain a place of business in the United States and may not be a mailbox, answering machine or service, or other place where a person acting as the United States agent is not physically present. The information that must be submitted with a drug listing submission, for both human drugs and animal drugs, is described in the regulations codified in part 207 as amended by this final rule. FEIs may be associated with information not considered releasable. It will generally be the foreign person who owns the drug and sells or enters into a contractual obligation to supply the drug to a person in the United States. It is not necessary under this final rule to request an NDC from FDA and support that request with the information specified in 207.33(c) of the proposed rule. After an establishment's registration form is processed, FDA will send the Reporting Official a validated form, which includes the registration number. Description of Respondents: Manufacturers, repackers, relabelers, drug product salvagers, and private label distributors as described in the final rule. Active pharmaceutical ingredient: To prevent confusion, we proposed to replace the term bulk drug substance with the more descriptive term active pharmaceutical ingredient. This change is retained in the final rule. (4) Any material change in any information previously submitted. Transfers some information that would have been required under proposed 207.33(c) (What information must a manufacturer submit before we will assign an NDC number to a drug?) (Comment 10) One comment recommended that we change company or individual to person, in the rule's definition of importer, consistent with the definition of the term person in section 201(e) of the FD&C Act. When we use the term authorized agent in this final rule, we mean a person who is authorized to act on behalf of another. Medical gases are generally packaged in tanks, canisters, or cylinders. But reference to an application number alone will not satisfy the requirement that updated content of labeling be submitted under 207.57 in this final rule. The site is secure. (a) Registration of an establishment or listing of a drug does not denote approval of the establishment, the drug, or other drugs of the establishment, nor does it mean that a product may be legally marketed. Allows registrants to reserve an NDC for a drug product under development. The FDA electronically reviews all FDA-regulated entries submitted through the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). L. 113-54) of 2013 includes as Title II the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA). Firm Name . Tobacco Products Program. Clarifies that private label distributors are subject to part 207 (because they must have labeler codes). (Response) We disagree with the comments. Other information submitted under part 207, as well as information submitted under parts 607 and 1271, is exempt from the requirements of 11.10(b), (c), and (e) and the corresponding requirements of 11.30. Amends 314.81(b)(3)(iv) (requiring holders of approved new drug applications (NDAs) to report the withdrawal of approved drug products from sale) to make it consistent with part 207. This site displays a prototype of a Web 2.0 version of the daily (b) This part does not apply to owners and operators of establishments that collect or process human whole blood Start Printed Page 60215and blood products unless the establishment also manufactures, repacks, or relabels other drugs. After the proposed rule was published, FDAAA was adopted into law. Registrants are required to submit and update listing information in accordance with amended part 1271 no later than the time when listing information is due after the first anniversary of the effective date of this final rule. The final rule has been revised in response to comments received on the proposed rule. Sections 207.49, 207.53, and 207.54 indicate some minor differences in the information that must be submitted depending on whether the drug is finished or unfinished. The estimate for the number of drugs subject to the listing requirements includes PET drugs and approximately 30 plasma derivatives. 71, Rm. (Comment 38) One comment recommended that the NDC for a drug that was repacked or relabeled include the product code of the source drug. Registrants are required to submit and update establishment registration information in accordance with amended subpart B of part 207 no later than the time when registration information is due after the first anniversary of the effective date of this final rule. (Response) The referenced citizen petition remains under review, and the part 11 regulations are currently being implemented as explained in FDA's 2003 Part 11 Guidance. When, after initial registration of an establishment, must drug listing information be submitted? Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, CVM We have determined, under section 510(f) of the FD&C Act and as explained in the foregoing discussion, that most drug listing information relating to marketed products will be categorically presumed to be available for public disclosure because an exemption from disclosure would be inconsistent with protection of the public health. Based on information from FDA's database, we estimate that approximately 2,700 establishments are registered and listed with FDA and will provide establishment and listing updates. This comment referred to a statement in the preamble to the proposed rule stating that registrants are requested to submit listing information within 30 days of a change. ITB HOLDINGS LLC | 390 North Orange Avenue, Suite 2300 | Orlando, FL 32801 | United States. Such advertisements must be submitted within 30 calendar days after our request. That listing submission could then be updated, as needed, when the actual marketing date arrives. Repackers, relabelers, and salvagers are subject to the provisions of this part that are applicable to repackers, relabelers, and salvagers, but are not subject to the provisions of this part that are applicable to manufacturers. The proposed rule included amendments to 201.2 that would have required drugs subject to the listing requirement of part 207 to have labels that bear the appropriate NDC in human-readable form. Until our 2003 Part 11 Guidance is withdrawn or modified, these statements regarding enforcement discretion remain current. The new definition is not intended to include persons operating Start Printed Page 60200merely as customs brokers. The longstanding language, one general physical location, generally restricts a single establishment to one street address or one or more contiguous plots of land. Listing submissions for repacked or relabeled drugs must also include the complete NDC assigned to each finished drug received by the registrant for repacking or relabeling (i.e., the source drug), so this link will exist in the drug's listing information. This definition excludes mailboxes, answering machines or services, or other places where an individual acting as the foreign establishment's agent is not physically present. (Comment 65) One comment questioned the proposed requirement that the drug facts labeling for OTC drug products be included in drug listing information, arguing that required labeling for OTC products is set forth in OTC monographs and in FDA's regulations in 201.66. Therefore, the proposed rule did not solicit comments on the electronic drug Start Printed Page 60197registration and listing system then under development. 262, 264, 271. Here, data from different FDA systems are pulled into a central location, transformed, enriched, and linked together to highlight relationships, increase clarity, reveal trends, simplify access, and promote overall information . (Comment 34) Some comments supported the proposed rule's revocation of then-current 207.35(b)(4)(ii), which stated that the product code of a discontinued product could be reassigned to another product 5 years after the expiration date of the discontinued product or, if there is no expiration date, 5 years after the last shipment of the discontinued product.
