Reauthorization of the Generic Drug User Fee Amendments; Public Meeting; Request for Comments

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the Agency, or we) is hosting a public meeting on the reauthorization of the Generic Drug User Fee Amendments (GDUFA) for fiscal years (FYs) 2028 to 2032. At the end of September 2027, new legislation will be required for FDA to continue to collect generic drug user fees for future FYs. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) requires that before FDA begins negotiations with the regulated industry on GDUFA reauthorization, we publish a notice in the Federal Register requesting public input on the reauthorization; hold a public meeting at which the public may present its views on the reauthorization, including specific suggestions for changes to the goals referred to in the GDUFA Reauthorization Performance Goals and Program Enhancements Fiscal Years 2023-2027 (i.e., the GDUFA III Commitment Letter) (https://www.fda.gov/industry/ generic-drug-user-fee-amendments/gdufa-iii-reauthorization); provide a period of 30 days after the public meeting to obtain written comments from the public; and publish the comments on FDA's website. FDA invites public comment on the GDUFA program and suggestions regarding the features FDA should propose for the next GDUFA program cycle. These comments will be published and available on FDA's website.
