Performance
As of September 30, 2009, performance data was available for over four-fifths (28 of 32) of non-expedited filed FY 2008 submissions and over one-tenth (5 of 39) of FY 2009 submissions (see table below).
- FDA met the Tier 1 review-time goal for 16 of 28 submissions in FY 2008 and 3 of 5 submissions in FY 2009. With submissions pending within goal, FDA has the potential to exceed the Tier 1 performance goal for FY 2008 and FY 2009.
- FDA met the Tier 2 review-time goal for 19 of 25 submissions in FY 2008 and all (3 of 3) of the submissions in FY 2009. With submissions pending within goal, FDA can improve performance, but cannot meet the Tier 2 performance goal for FY 2008. However, FDA has the potential to exceed the Tier 2 performance goal for FY 2009.
