SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.
Data To Support Drug Product Communications as Used by the Food and
Drug Administration
OMB Control Number 0910-0695--Extension
This information collection supports Agency outreach and other
proactive communication efforts. Evaluating communication messages and
supporting materials in advance of a communication campaign provides an
important role in improving FDA communications as they allow for an
indepth understanding of individuals knowledge, attitudes, beliefs,
motivations, feelings, and behaviors. Such evaluations are critical in
helping FDA develop public health communications that meet the needs
and desires of its many diverse target audiences.
We intend to use the following methods with general public health
consumers and healthcare professionals in our efforts: individual
indepth interviews, focus group discussions, intercept interviews,
self-administered surveys, and gatekeeper surveys, all on a voluntary
basis. The methods to be used serve the narrowly defined need for
direct and informal opinion on a specific topic and, as a qualitative
and/or quantitative research tools, have two major purposes: (1) to
obtain information that is useful for developing variables and measures
for formulating the basic objectives of risk communication campaigns
and (2) to assess the potential effectiveness of messages and materials
in reaching and successfully communicating with their intended
audiences. We will use these methods to test and refine our ideas and
to help develop messages and other communications but will generally
conduct further research before making important decisions, such as
adopting new policies and allocating or redirecting significant
resources to support these policies.
We will use this qualitative and/or quantitative research to test
messages about regulated drug products on a variety of subjects related
to consumer, patient, or healthcare professional perceptions and about
use of drug products and related materials, including but not limited
to: (1) direct-to-consumer prescription drug promotion; (2) labeling
and information about prescription and over-the-counter drugs; (3)
patient medication guides; (4) safety and risk communications; (5)
online sale of medical products; and (6) consumer and professional
education. Annually, we project about 75 communication studies using
the variety of research methods listed in this document. FDA is
requesting an extension of these burden hours so as not to restrict its
ability to gather information on public opinion for its regulatory and
communications programs.
In the Federal Register of September 29, 2023 (88 FR 67311), FDA
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed
collection of information. No comments were received.
We estimate the burden of this collection of information as
follows:
Table 1--Estimated Annual Reporting Burden \1\
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number of
Activity Number of responses per Total annual Average burden per response Total hours
respondents respondent responses
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interviews/Surveys........................ 45,000 1 45,000 0.75 (45 minutes)........... 33,750
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.
We have increased our estimated burden to allow for additional
individual collections under the approved generic clearance. For more
detailed information regarding individual collections conducted under
the currently approved generic clearance, please see our supporting
statement at <a href="https://www.reginfog.gov">https://www.reginfog.gov</a>. We believe that increasing the
frequency of individual collections will improve our ability to timely
deliver important drug product communications to specific populations,
including vulnerable populations that include patients with certain
medical conditions.

Associate Commissioner for Policy.
