Completed PDUFA VII Deliverables

Since the passage of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) in 1992, user fees have played an important role in expediting the drug approval process while ensuring their safety and efficacy. PDUFA must be reauthorized every five years, and in September 2022, the President signed into law the sixth reauthorization of PDUFA, which establishes the program through fiscal year 2027. To provide a snapshot of how FDA is meeting some of its PDUFA commitments, the following tables present a listing of required and completed deliverables. Many of these deliverables can be found elsewhere on FDA's website but have been consolidated here for ease of access.

Please note:

  • The tables focus on external activities or deliverables such as guidances, public meetings, public workshops, and updates or documents posted to the FDA website.
  • The tables include the original deliverables FDA produced to meet its commitments, but they do not necessarily include more recent versions that may have posted after the deliverables were met.
  • For more detailed and complete information regarding PDUFA performance progress, please see the PDUFA Annual Performance Report page.
