Abstract: The Prescription Drug User Fee Cover Sheet, Form FDA 3397, is required to be included with each applicable new drug application (NDA), biologics license application (BLA), and supplemental application to an NDA or BLA submitted to FDA for review. The Prescription Drug User Fee Cover Sheet is designed to provide the minimum necessary information for FDA to determine whether a fee is required for the review of an application, to determine the amount of the fee required, and to account for and track user fees. The form provides a cross-reference of the fee submitted for an application or supplement utilizing a unique number tracking system. It also identifies pertinent statutory provisions under which the application may qualify for a fee exemption. The information collected is used by FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) and Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) to initiate the administrative screening of NDAs, BLAs and/or supplemental applications to those applications.

Short Statement: The previous burden estimate was 2,066 hours. The current decrease in burden to 1,855 hours (-211 hours) is mostly attributed to the decrease in the number of certain supplements (mostly manufacturing supplements submitted to CDER) submitted to FDA under total annual responses. The overall decrease is due to the normal variation in the submission of applications and supplements to FDA.
