On September 27, 2007, President George W. Bush signed the ‘‘‘Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007’’’ into law. This new law is an important step for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It reviewed, expanded, and reaffirmed several existing pieces of legislation regulating the FDA. These changes will allow the FDA access to much-needed resources that will enable the agency to better protect American consumers by allowing more comprehensive reviews of potential new drugs and devices.

Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) (IV)

The Prescription Drug User Fee Act was first enacted in 1992 to allow the FDA to collect “user fees” from biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. Since then, it has been reauthorized three times; first in 1997, then 2002, and most recently with the passage of the FDAAA in 2007. The purpose of these fees is to provide resources to the FDA that help them more effectively review potential new drugs. [ [http://www.bio.org/healthcare/pdufa/ BIO | The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) ] ] The most recent reauthorization will further expand on the previous policy. It aims to broaden and upgrade the drug safety program, allocate more resources for television advertising, and theoretically allow the FDA to more efficiently review and approve safe and effective new drugs for consumers. [ [http://www.fda.gov/oc/pdufa/ Prescription Drug User Fees ] ] Since the original inception of the act, skeptics have raised concerns that this act means that the FDA is partially funded by the industry it regulates.
