Guidelines for Exports Under the FDA Export Reform and Enhancement Act of 1996
- Industry: All FDA Regulated Industry
This guidance document summarizes and explains the basic requirements and procedures under the FDA Export Reform and Enhancement Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-134, as amended by Public Law 104-180) for exporting human drugs, animal drugs, biological products, devices, food, food additives, color additives, and dietary supplements that may not be sold or distributed in the United States. This law amended sections 801 and 802 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act), as well as section 351(h) of the Public Health Service Act, simplifying the requirements for exporting unapproved human drugs, biological products, and devices. In addition, the FDA Export Reform and Enhancement Act substantially reduced the requirements for exporting unapproved new animal drugs and provided a new option for exporting unapproved devices.
The 1996 Amendments did not change the general export requirements in section 801(e)(1) of the Act with respect to foods or cosmetics. This document provides guidance on these general export requirements under section 801(e)(1) of the Act for all products that are subject to this provision. Guidance is also provided on the export requirements for unapproved human drugs, biological products and devices in sections 801 and 802 of the Act resulting from the 1996 Amendments.

- Industry: Drugs and Chemicals (Pharma)
This guidance is intended to describe a regulatory framework (Process Analytical Technology, PAT) that will encourage the voluntary development and implementation of innovative pharmaceutical development, manufacturing, and quality assurance. Working with existing regulations, the Agency has developed an innovative approach for helping the pharmaceutical industry address anticipated technical and regulatory issues and questions.
This guidance addresses new and abbreviated new (human and veterinary) drug application products and specified biologics regulated by CDER and CVM as well as nonapplication drug products. Within this scope, the guidance is applicable to all manufacturers of drug substances, drug products, and specified biologics (including intermediate and drug product components) over the life cycle of the products (references to 21 CFR part 211 are merely examples of related regulation). Within the context of this guidance, the term manufacturers includes human drug, veterinary drug, and specified biologic sponsors and applicants (21 CFR 99.3(f)).

- Industry: All FDA Regulated Industry
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the current informed consent regulations to require that informed consent documents and processes for applicable drug (including biological products) and device clinical trials include a specific statement that clinical trial information will be entered into a databank. The databank referred to in this final rule is the clinical trial registry databank maintained by the National Institutes of Health/National Library of Medicine (NIH/NLM) which was created by statute. The submission of clinical trial information to this data bank also is required by statute. This amendment to the informed consent regulations is required by the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA) and is designed to promote transparency of clinical research to participants and patients.
