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.
