-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the 
extension of the comment period and correcting a notice that appeared 
in the Federal Register of Monday, September 26, 2016 (81 FR 66035). 
The document announced a public meeting entitled ``Generic Drug User 
Fees; Public Meeting; Request for Comments.'' In that Federal Register 
notice, FDA requested comments on the draft recommendations related to 
the reauthorization of the Generic Drug User Fee Amendments of 2012 
(GDUFA). The Agency is taking this action to allow interested persons 
the statutorily required 30 days to submit comments. Also, the document 
was published with an error in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section. 
This document corrects that error.

DATES: FDA is extending the comment period on the Generic Drug User Fee 
recommendations published September 26, 2016 (81 FR 66035). Submit 
either electronic or written comments by November 16, 2016.

Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New 
Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 75, Rm. 1673, Silver Spring, MD 20993, 240-402-
6980, email: GenericDrugPolicy@fda.hhs.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of September 26, 
2016, FDA published a request for comments on GDUFA reauthorization 
draft recommendations. The comment period ends on November 7, 2016.
    Because the Agency posted the draft recommendations on October 14, 
2016, and the statute requires a period of 30 days be provided for the 
public to provide comments on the draft recommendations, FDA is 
extending the comment period for the GDUFA reauthorization draft 
recommendations until November 16, 2016.
    In addition, in FR Doc. 2016-23111, appearing on page 66035 in the 
Federal Register of Monday, September 26, 2016, the following 
correction is made:
    On page 66038, in the final paragraph of the first column, the 
second sentence is corrected to read: ``Specifically, FDA would issue 
product-specific guidance identifying the methodology for developing 
drugs and generating evidence needed to support ANDA approval, for 90 
percent of new chemical entity new drug applications that are approved 
on or after October 1, 2017, at least 2 years prior to the earliest 
lawful filing date.''

    Dated: October 18, 2016.

Associate Commissioner for Policy.
