SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
Part D, Chapter D-B, (Food and Drug Administration), the Statement
of Organization, Functions and Delegations of Authority for the
Department of Health and Human Services (35 FR 3685, February 25, 1970,
60 FR 56606, November 9, 1995, 64 FR 36361, July 6, 1999, 72 FR 50112,
August 30, 2007, 74 FR 41713, August 18, 2009, 76 FR 45270, July 28,
2011, and 84 FR 22854, May 20, 2019) is revised to reflect the Food and
Drug Administration's reorganization of CDER's OSE and OND.
The purpose of this reorganization is to strengthen OSE and OND's
ability to support FDA's mission and streamline its operations.
Within OSE, the newly elevated Office of Regulatory Science (ORS)
will provide scientific and technical leadership in pharmacovigilance
informatics, regulatory informatics systems, and science operations,
including securing access to necessary data sources for drug product
surveillance operations and overseeing applied research studies. While
the newly elevated Office of Regulatory Operations (ORO) will manage
strategic and operational projects associated with drug safety,
particularly with drug safety reviews. The Executive Operations Staff
(EOS) will liaise with stakeholders through the Center and the FDA as
well as with external groups as appropriate to activities within OSE,
coordinate executive operations of Office leadership, and support
organizational development activities for OSE staff.
Within OND, this overall reorganization proposal addresses key
priorities for the country as exhibited by their direct connection to
multiple acts of Congress or declarations from the executive branch,
including the Over-The-Counter (OTC) Monograph Reform, Biosimilars User
Fee Act III (BsUFA III), Opioids Public Health Emergency Declaration,
and the SUPPORT Act. Through this reorganization the FDA will be best
organized and positions to address the critical workload, policy and
oversight demands expected in the space of biosimilars, OTC drug
products, rare disease drug development, and opioids.
