                                    recently implemented Generic Drug User Fee Act (GDUFA) for Generic Drugs. GDUFA key
                                    goals are Safety, Efficacy and Access. From the GDUFA implementation, USFDA will get the
                                    funds approx. $1.5billion over the 2013 to 2017 financial years from the generic players.
                                    The main intention to implement the user fee is to increase the number of reviewers in
                                    USFDA team, speed up the facility inspections and approval process of all types of

      Safety: Ensure that industry participants, foreign or domestic, who participate in the U.S. generic drug system are held
to consistent high quality standards and are inspected biennially, using a risk-based approach, with foreign and domestic
parity.
      Access: Expedite the availability of low cost, high quality generic drugs by bringing greater predictability to the review
times for ANDAs, amendments and supplements.

       Transparency: Enhance FDA’s ability to protect Americans in the complex global supply environment by requiring the
identification of facilities involved in the manufacture of generic drugs, active pharmaceutical ingredients, and improving
FDA’s communications and feedback with industry in order to expedite product access.

        Generic drugs play in providing more affordable, therapeutically equivalent medicine, the Generic Drug User Fee
GDUFA FEE:


program is designed to keep individual fee amounts as low as possible to supplement appropriated funding to ensure that
consumers continue to receive the significant benefits offered by generic drugs which provided more than $824 billion dollars
in savings to the nation’s health care system in the last decade alone.
        FDA has tentatively finalized the user fee for generics. Under GDUFA the generic player need to pay the fee to the FDA
agency for Type-II DMF and ANDA submission and facilities. The detailed fee applicability and fee structure has represented in
the table-1; Figure-7.

      considered pending and is subject to a backlog fee.
  The backlog fee will be determined based on the number of original ANDAs pending at the start of the business day on
      October 1, 2012. In accordance with GDUFA, FDA will divide $50 million by the number of original ANDAs pending to
      arrive at the amount of the individual one-time backlog fee, which will be due for each pending original ANDA.
  Absent withdrawals, there could be 3,000 pending original ANDAs on October 1, 2012. A number of these applications

  A one-time application fee for a Type II Drug Master File (DMF) that is to be referenced on or after October 1, 2012 in a
      generic drug submission (new ANDA, supplement or amendment).
  A Type II DMF covers the manufacture of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or drug substance.
  DMF fee can be paid by DMF holder before a letter of authorization requested by the ANDA holder. The advantage for
      DMF holders are the Fee paid DMF will undergo an initial completeness assessment by USFDA using the factors
      (factors will be published in forthcoming USFDA guidance) and if DMF passes the completeness assessment it will be
      placed on a publicly available list of DMF available for reference
  FY13 Fee = 6% of $249 Million / number of estimated Type II DMFs referenced for the first time in FY13. (Example: If
      Type II DMFs = 350, then DMF fee is $42,686.)
  DMF fee is incurred when a generic drug submission references the Type II DMF for the first time on or after October
      1, 2012.
  The FY13 fee due date is dependent on the later of the following:

 User fees are required for all PASs (including labeling) that require prior approval under FDA regulations.
 Changes-Being-Effected (CBE-0 and CBE-30) supplements are not required to pay a user fee. FDA reserves the right to
     change any CBE to a PAS. If changed, the applicant will be notified to resubmit its application as a PAS and to pay the
     PAS user fee.
 For FY13, 24% of $249 million will be collected for ANDA/PAS fees. This amounts to $59.76 million.
 ANDA applications may cost about $56,000 per application. PAS applications will be half that amount at $28,000 per
     application.

      If a generic (ANDA, amendment to an ANDA or a PAS to an ANDA) drug submission includes API information other
      than by reference to a DMF – e.g., the applicant manufactures an API in its own facility or facilities – is the applicant
      required to pay an additional fee?
      Yes. The applicant is required to pay an API-related fee for each API manufactured in its own facility or facilities for
      which it has not previously paid an API-related fee. As with a DMF fee, this fee is paid only once.
      The amount of the API-related fee is a function of the number of APIs referenced in the application and the number of
      facilities in which those APIs are manufactured. If the ANDA references more than one facility as manufacturing each
      API, the applicant must pay the API-related fee for each such facility.

    1.   Register in the User Fee System by creating a secure user account
    2.   Submit a Generic Drug User Fee Cover Sheet electronically
    3.   Submit a payment for the Generic Drug User Fee Cover Sheet
    All generic drug organization can initiate the fee payment process from Oct-1 2012 and for user fee payment applicant
need to create the GDUFA cover sheet. This cover sheet will calculate the fee value for all type of user fees. User fee should be
paid after completing the generation of GDUFA cover sheet.

GDFUA fees apply only to generic drug manufactured for human use.
GDUFA cover sheet creation:


        Payment submission: Generic applicant can pay the user fee by using Automated Clearing House (ACH) direct deposit
or Credit card payment (Pay.gov) or send payment by check, bank draft, U.S. postal money order, or wire transfer. Payment
must be made in U.S currency drawn on a U.S. bank by electronic payments. Generally, USFDA will not invoice for fee’s and
expects that firms will self-identify and pay. However, in rare and unusual circumstances, USFDA may find it necessary to issue
an invoice. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) drug manufacturers are the only human generic drug manufacturers
excluded from payment of GDUFA fees. They are, however, required to self-identify. PET manufacturers should complete a
generic drug user fee cover sheet for $0.
No reduced fees available for small business or others. As USFDA determines that small generic companies are expected to
benefit significantly from reductions in the review time needed to commercialize their products and from the certainty
associated with performance review metrics and program efficiencies.

Review of Generic drug submissions post GDUFA
USFDA will expedite review of paragraph IV ANDA application that is submitted on the first day that any valid Paragraph IV
application for the drug in question is submitted. This added to current expedite process like President’s Emergency Plan for
AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), product for which a nationwide shortage has been identified, etc.
GDUFA adds a new requirement to USFDA’s existing refuse to receive policy with respect to payment of fees and the time of
receipt of an ANDA.
     Failure to pay an ANDA fee within 20 calendar days of the applicable due date will result in the ANDA not being received.
     Failure to pay the fee for a DMF referenced in the ANDA within 20 calendar days of the date that FDA provides
 


     notification of that failure will result in the ANDA not being received.
 


     Failure to pay a facility fee for any facility referenced in the ANDA within 20 calendar days of the date that FDA provides
     notification of that failure will result in the ANDA not being received.
 


     If an application is substantially complete except for failure to pay the ANDA fee, or the failure to pay the facility fee
     within 20 days of notification, the application will be deemed received as of the date the fee is paid.
 


FDA will publish further guidance on any other changes to its refuse to receive policy for public comment in advance of their
implementation.
USFDA continue to accept applications in paper format for the time being. Applications received in paper format after October
1, 2012, however, will not be included as part of the new performance metrics established in GDUFA. Additionally, electronic
submissions will be required 24 months after issuance of final electronic submission guidance.

GDUFA cover sheet creation: Payment submission: Generic applicant can pay the user fee by using Automated Clearing House (ACH) direct deposit or Credit card payment (Pay.gov) or send payment by check, bank draft, U.S. postal money order, or wire transfer. Payment must be made in U.S currency drawn on a U.S. bank by electronic payments. Generally, USFDA will not invoice for fee’s and expects that firms will self-identify and pay. However, in rare and unusual circumstances, USFDA may find it necessary to issue an invoice. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) drug manufacturers are the only human generic drug manufacturers excluded from payment of GDUFA fees. They are, however, required to self-identify. PET manufacturers should complete a generic drug user fee cover sheet for $0. No reduced fees available for small business or others. As USFDA determines that small generic companies are expected to benefit significantly from reductions in the review time needed to commercialize their products and from the certainty associated with performance review metrics and program efficiencies.

Failure to pay an ANDA fee within 20 calendar days of the applicable due date will result in the ANDA not being received. Failure to pay the fee for a DMF referenced in the ANDA within 20 calendar days of the date that FDA provides  notification of that failure will result in the ANDA not being received.  Failure to pay a facility fee for any facility referenced in the ANDA within 20 calendar days of the date that FDA provides notification of that failure will result in the ANDA not being received.  If an application is substantially complete except for failure to pay the ANDA fee, or the failure to pay the facility fee within 20 days of notification, the application will be deemed received as of the date the fee is paid.  FDA will publish further guidance on any other changes to its refuse to receive policy for public comment in advance of their implementation. USFDA continue to accept applications in paper format for the time being.
