OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 06/06/2025

Terms of Clearance: Terms continue: Approved consistent with the understanding that, upon finalization of any agency rulemaking amending 21 CFR Part 203 (see RIN 0910-AH56), FDA will submit a request to revise the information collection accordingly. Furthermore, within the next 2 years, FDA will seek comment specifically on the accuracy of the change in burden estimate in this collection as explained below: Because current implementation of requirements under the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (currently approved in OMB control no. 0910-0806) apply to manufacturers, wholesalers, and dispensers as well as distributers, we have considered that current recordkeeping requirements for drug samples under 21 CFR part 203 may apply to more respondents. To account for this activity, we increased the number of responses and hours per each of the 140 pharmaceutical companies identified in Row 3 of Table 2 in Q-12 above (“§§ 203.30 – 203.39; documentation regarding sample distribution”), and have included it with the other recordkeeping elements.

The regulations are intended to protect the public against the threat of subpotent, adulterated, counterfeit, and misbranded drugs posed by the existence of drug diversion schemes and a drug diversion submarket, and the absence of appropriate controls over and creation and maintenance of appropriate records regarding the distribution of prescription drugs.
