FDA Generic Drug Facility Fees Due October 1, 2014
Hampton, Virginia (PRWEB) September 10, 2014 -- Under the Generic Drug User Fee Amendments (GDUFA) of 2012, FDA requires active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) facilities and finished dosage form (FDF) facilities to pay annual generic drug user fees. Registrar Corp reminds industry of the upcoming deadline.
FY 2015 facility fees are as follows:
• Domestic FDF facility: $247,717
• Foreign FDF facility: $262,717
• Domestic API facility: $41,926
• Foreign API facility: $56,926
Facilities that manufacture both FDFs and APIs must pay both fees. If one company owns two facilities in different geographic locations, the company must pay separate fees for each facility. Facilities may be considered to be in the same geographic location if all of the following apply:
• The activities in the separate buildings are closely related to the same business enterprise
• The two facilities are under the supervision of the same local management
• FDA is able to cover both facilities in a single inspection
The FY 2015 fees are due October 1, 2014. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) must receive the full payment within 20 days of the due date, so facilities should submit their payments as soon as possible to allow ample time for processing. If FDA does not receive payment on time:
• The facility will be placed on a publicly available arrears list
• No new drug submission referencing the facility will be received until the fee is paid
• All FDFs and/or APIs manufactured in the facility will be deemed misbranded, making it illegal to ship the misbranded products into interstate commerce or import them into the U.S.
Along with user fees, generic drug facilities must submit a GDUFA cover sheet to help FDA track the payment and assess whether the facility has paid the correct fee. Cover sheets are submitted to the User Fee System, which is now open for FY 2015 submissions. Cover sheets for facilities must include the facility’s name, address, FDA establishment identification (FEI) number, and facility data universal numbering system (DUNS) number, as well as confirmation of whether the facility manufactures human drugs that are not human generic drugs.
