Previous terms of clearance stated "FDA shall make this collection electronically submittable as soon as possible to be in compliance with the Government Paperwork Elimination Act." Three years later, these forms are still not electronically submittable. Therefore, clearance is provided for 18 months. Upon resubmission, FDA should provide a timeframe under which FDA expects to come into compliance with the GPEA.
