FDA Announcement on Guidance for Industry, Generic Drug User Fee Amendments of 2012

On November 17, FDA announced that it had revised, and finalized in part, Guidance for Industry, Generic Drug User Fee Amendments of 2012: Questions and Answers Related to User Fee Assessments.

The revised guidance finalizes the section of the document that pertains to user fees. (Note that FDA announced GDUFA user fees for fiscal year 2017 for Abbreviated New Drug Applications, Prior Approval Supplements, Drug Master Files, and facilities earlier this year (81 Fed. Reg. 49,225, July 27, 2016).) Questions and answers related to self-identification, review of generic drug submissions, and inspections and compliance, which appeared in earlier versions of this GDUFA Q&A guidance, will be updated and addressed in a separately issued final guidance.
