  1. Generic Drug User Fee Amendments

The Generic Drug User Fee Amendments of 2012 (GDUFA) is designed to speed access to safe and effective generic drugs to the public and reduce costs to industry. The law requires industry to pay user fees to supplement the costs of reviewing generic drug applications and inspecting facilities. Additional resources will enable the Agency to reduce a current backlog of pending applications, cut the average time required to review generic drug applications for safety, and increase risk-based inspections.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) held a series of public meetings to gather stakeholder input on the development of the generic drug user fee program.
