Just after we posted the blog about the other User Fee programs from the prepublication of the Federal Register, we receive an email from FDA indicating that the Fee Schedule was available, but there was a problem with the FR publication (here). Here are the new FY 2023 Generic Drug User Fees compared with the […]
The schedules for the 2023 Prescription Drug User Fees (PDUFA) (here), Biosimilar User Fees (BSUFA) (here), and Medical Device User Fees (MDUFA) (here) have been posted and are scheduled for final publication on October 7, 2022.
