Medical Device User Fee Rates for Fiscal Year 2012
AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
———————————————————————–
SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the fee rates and payment procedures for medical device user fees for fiscal year (FY) 2012. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act), as amended by the Medical Device User Fee Amendments of 2007 (title II of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA)), authorizes FDA to collect user fees for certain medical device submissions, and annual fees for certain periodic reports and for certain establishments subject to registration. The FY 2012 fee rates are provided in this document. These fees apply from October 1, 2011, through September 30, 2012. To avoid delay in the review of your application, you should pay the fee before or at the time you submit your application to FDA. The fee you must pay is the fee that is in effect on the later of the date that your application is received by FDA or the date your fee payment is received. In order to pay a reduced small business fee, you must qualify as a small business before you make your submission to FDA; if you do not qualify as a small business before you make your submission to FDA, you will be required to pay the higher standard fee. This document provides information on how the fees for FY 2012 were determined, the payment procedures you should follow, and how you may qualify for reduced small business fees.
