This information collection supports certain FDA regulations in 21 CFR part 330 regarding over-the-counter (OTC) human drugs and associated guidance. Specifically, our regulations in §§ 330.14 and 330.15 (21 CFR 330.14 and 330.15), established additional criteria and procedures for classifying OTC drugs as generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded. However, these regulations are not reflective of more-recently enacted statutory provisions that govern the regulation of OTC human drugs marketed without approved new drug applications, under the OTC drug review process, and accordingly, these regulations will be withdrawn. These regulations provided that OTC drug products introduced into the U.S. market after the OTC drug review began in 1972 and OTC drug products without any marketing experience in the United States could be evaluated under the OTC monograph system if the conditions (e.g., active ingredients) met certain ‘‘time and extent’’ criteria outlined in the regulations. The regulation in 21 CFR 330.14 allowed a sponsor to submit certain information to the Agency in a time and extent application (TEA) for use to determination the eligibility of a condition for consideration in the OTC monograph system.
As a result of the statutory provision, we anticipate no TEA submissions. For purposes of burden calculation, we assume one respondent as a placeholder.
Our estimated burden for the information collection reflects, as a result of the statutory provision, a program change decrease of 6,894 hours and a corresponding decrease of 8 responses.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).

(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);

(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
