                DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
                Food and Drug Administration
                Statement of Organization, Functions, and Delegations of
                Authority
                AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
                ACTION: Notice.
                -----------------------------------------------------------------------
                SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Office of the
                Commissioner, Headquarters organizations, and Centers have modified
                their structures.
                FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William Tootle, Director, Office of
                Budget, Office of the Commissioner, Food and Drug Administration, 4041
                Powder Mill Rd., Rm. 72094, Beltsville, MD 20705-4304, 301-796-4710.
                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; and 76 FR 45270, July
                28, 2011) is amended to reflect the reorganization of the Office of the
                Commissioner/FDA Headquarters and the following Centers: Center for
                Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), Center for Drug Evaluation and
                Research (CDER), Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN),
                Center for Tobacco Products (CTP), and Center for Veterinary Medicine
                (CVM).
                 The Office of the Commissioner reorganization will transition FDA
                away from the Directorate structure. Abolishing the current directorate
                structure and realigning many of those functions to the Centers/Office
                of Regulatory Affairs (ORA) establishes a direct line of communication
                between the Centers/ORA and the Commissioner of Food and Drugs. This
                direct report relationship with the Centers streamlines communications
                and better positions FDA to support its regulatory programs and
                mission. The intent is to create a more effective structure that better
                reflects FDA's priorities and streamlines operations.
                 The CDRH reorganization will more accurately reflect the functions
                performed by the Center and help to enhance CDRH's ability to advance
                FDA's mission and streamline operations and support functions.
                 The CDER reorganization changes the organizational structures and
                revises the functional statements of following organizations: Office of
                Communication (OCOMM), Office of Compliance (OC), Office of Executive
                Programs (OEP), Office of Hematology and Oncology Products (OHOP), and
                Office of New Drugs (OND). The proposed organizational changes will
                enhance CDER's ability to develop, coordinate, and evaluate public
                health communication and education activities in support of the
                following:
                 The CDER Office of Compliance proposed structure change will
                establish the framework for a stronger regulatory oversight of the
                compounded human drugs facilities and compounding related activities.
                The new structure will help ensure the following: That compounding
                pharmacies operate within the bounds of traditional pharmacy practice
                (not manufacturing); that outsourcing facilities operate according to
                the conditions in section 503B; and the new structure will protect
                patients from unsafe or ineffective compounded drugs.
                 The CDER Office of Communication is planning to expand CDER's
                communications outreach and educational efforts to inform the
                conversation among FDA's stakeholders. This will be managed through
                accessing more communication channels, enhancing FDA's social media
                presence, and using more innovative tools. The impact of CDER's growth
                has impacted the volume of information posted on the web as the content
                management and development of tools used to connect stakeholders with
                web content are created. As new programs and initiatives are developed
                by the Center, the web content will increase. The new content
                management system will provide the Agency with the opportunity to
                finally have a true publishing tool. This will allow greater speed in
                posting the content in the web environment.
                 The CDER Office of Executive Programs houses all the executive
                functions for CDER and ensures the goals and priorities of the Center
                Director are carried out. These functions range from administrative
                support for the Center Director's Office, overseeing the Center's
                learning and organizational development program, to managing the
                Center's 18 different Advisory Committees. Restructuring these
                functions into defined organizational structures will improve decision
                making by promoting the direct flow of information from frontline
                employees to the managers directly responsible for making decisions and
                provide clarity to staff roles and responsibilities. Furthermore, the
                proposed organizational changes permit Office of Executive Programs'
                managers to better define critical business processes and identify
                opportunities for streamlining complex tasks, which will facilitate a
                more efficient and strategic deployment of these resources during
                public health emergencies and outbreaks. The proposed changes align
                with Reimagine HHS guiding principle #3--Generating Efficiencies
                through Streamlined Processes and Reimagine HHS guiding principle #5--
                HHS as a More Innovative and Responsive Organization.
                 The CDER Office of Hematology and Oncology Products reorganization
                is in response to Title III of the 21st Century Cures Act (Cures Act),
                enacted into law on December 13, 2016, which provides authorities FDA
                can use to help modernize drug, biological, and device product
                development and review to create greater efficiencies and
                predictability in product development and review. Numerous initiatives
                are currently taking place in the Agency to carry out the plan laid out
                in the Cures Act and include: Patient Focused Drug Development; Novel
                Clinical Trial Design; Real World Evidence; Summary-level Review and
                Inter-Center Institutes; as well as other initiatives. The Office of
                Hematology and Oncology Products
                [[Page 22855]]
                has been an active participant and at times a leader in many of these
                initiatives. To meet external and internal stakeholders' expectations
                and to effectively and efficiently carry out these initiatives
                delineated in the Cures Act, it is necessary to flatten out the
                organizational structure. The office proposes to expand their clinical
                review divisions from three to five, create a centralized safety
                reporting team, and create a labeling team. The office is dedicated in
                modernizing the drug, biological, and device product development and
                review and in creating greater efficiencies and predictability in
                oncology product development and review. With this restructuring, the
                office, working in partnership with the Oncology Center of Excellence,
                can ensure that the Agency's initiatives are being worked on in an
                efficient and cohesive manner so that industry and all other outside
                groups feel as if we are working with them in the fight against cancer.
                 The CDER Office of Therapeutic Biologics and Biosimilars
                reorganization is in response to the Biologics Price Competition and
                Innovation Act of 2009 (BPCI Act), which was enacted on March 23, 2010.
                This law amended the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) to create an
                abbreviated licensure pathway for biological products that are
                demonstrated to be biosimilar to or interchangeable with an already
                approved FDA-licensed biological product (the reference product). This
                pathway was established to provide more treatment options, increase
                access to lifesaving medications, and potentially reduce healthcare
                costs through increased competition. The current review management and
                policy development approach for biosimilar and interchangeable products
                lacks a ``primary owner'' and this impacts CDER's ability to set a
                singular goal and focus on internal operational requirements and
                communication similar to new drugs and generic drugs products.
                Specifically, policy development is fractured between the CDER Office
                of Medical Policy (OMP), Office of New Drugs (OND), and Office of
                Regulatory Policy (ORP). Since there is no office that holds primary
                responsibility for setting policy direction, the drafting and
                responding to inquiries such as citizen petitions and the development
                of policy positions is split between the various organizations.
                Likewise, the communication efforts are split between CDER OMP, OND,
                and OCOMM. While there is clear evidence of operational efficiencies
                associated with the review process for biosimilar and interchangeable
                products, the biggest inefficiency is with policy development. This
                proposed reorganization will be part of FDA's ongoing efforts to
                achieve the performance goals agreed to by the Agency in conjunction
                with the reauthorization of Biosimilar User Fee Act (BsUFA II).
                 The CFSAN reorganization realigns functions and personnel,
                retitling and establishing of new organizations within the CFSAN
                offices of: Office of Cosmetics and Colors, Office of Food Additive
                Safety, and Office of Coordinated Outbreak Response and Evaluation
                Network, which formalize its organizational components and functions;
                distinguish operational culture between pre- and post-market review;
                clarify staff allocation; improve effectiveness; and increase
                efficiency in the management and leadership for internal and external
                stakeholders.
                 The CTP Office of Health Communication and Education reorganization
                establishes the Division of Research and Evaluation; changes the title
                of the Division of Health, Scientific, and Regulatory Communication to
                the Division of Regulatory Communication; and revises the functional
                statements of the Office of Health Communication and Education; the
                Division of Public Health Education; and the Division of Regulatory
                Communication. The proposed organizational changes will enhance the
                Center's ability to develop, coordinate, and evaluate public health
                communication and education activities in support of requirements of
                the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act.
                 The CVM reorganization affects the Center's Office of Management
                and Office of New Animal Drug Evaluation.
                 The CVM Office of Management reorganization establishes the
                Business Informatics Staff; abolishes the Management Logistics Staff;
                and revises the functional statements of the Office of Management. The
                organizational changes will enhance CVM's ability to promote
                information technology guidelines and policies; manage the center's
                information technology portfolio; and provide capital planning and
                investment controls to the Department of Health and Human Services.
                 The CVM Office of New Animal Drug Evaluation reorganization
                establishes the Division of Animal Bioengineering and Cellular
                Therapies and revises the functional statements of the Office of New
                Animal Drug Evaluation. The organizational changes will create a
                dedicated group for the review and approval of biologically derived
                emerging technologies, such as animal bioengineering and cell and gene
                therapy products.
                 The Food and Drug Administration, Office of the Commissioner (OC)
                and Headquarters, Centers, and Offices, have been restructured as
                follows:
