House Appropriators Propose OTC Monograph User Fee In FDA Budget

Nearly $263.4m in additional funding compared to previous fiscal year's total allocated to FDA in the House appropriations bill. More than 70% of increase, about $185.3m, would be in non-user fees or budget authority and $78.1m in would come from user fee revenue. Bill identifies an additional user fee program for agency in the event Congress passes legislation to overhaul FDA's OTC drug monograph process.
