1There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

The agency believes that there will be 

minimal burden on the industry to 

generate data to meet the requirements 

of the premarket notification program 

because the agency is requesting only 

that information that the manufacturer 

or distributor should already have 

developed to satisfy itself that a dietary 

supplement containing a new dietary 

ingredient is in full compliance with the 

act. However, the agency estimates that 

extracting and summarizing the relevant 

information from the company’s files, 

and presenting it in a format that will 

meet the requirements of section 413 of 

the act will require a burden of 

approximately 20 hours of work per 

submission.

This estimate is based on the annual 

average number of premarket 

notifications FDA received during the 

last 3 years (i.e., 2002 to 2004), which 

was 47. Forty-seven represents 24 more 

notifications than the agency received as 

an annual average during the previous 

3-year period (i.e., 1999 to 2001). 

Therefore, FDA anticipates a similar 

upward trend will be seen in the annual 

average number of notifications the 

agency receives during 2005 to 2007, 

which is estimated to be 71.
