Disposition

Revised FY 2002 Targets

Explanation

FOODS

11001

Complete first action on 65% of food and color additive petitions within 360 days of receipt.

Revised

Complete first action on 60% of food and color additive petitions within 360 days of receipt

Target revised to a slightly lower level because of implementation of the Food Contact Substance Premarket Notification Program which changed the way these applications are submitted. Fewer but more complex applications are now expected.

11002

Reduce the number of remaining overdue food and color additive petitions by 50%.

Dropped

 

This backlog goal was dropped and assumed under the primary review goal for food and color additive petitions. (goal 11001)

11025

Respond to 95% of notifications for dietary supplements containing "new dietary ingredients" within 75 days.

Unchanged

   

11003

Complete processing of 85% of GRAS notifications within the time frame established by the final rule.

Dropped

 

This goal was dropped because there is no final rule and no statutory authority for this goal. It is strictly voluntary.

11034

Complete review of 100% of premarket notifications for food contact substances within 120 days.

Revised

Review 95 percent of premarket notifications for food contact substances in the receipt cohort of FY 2002 within the statutory time limit (120 days).

Target was lowered to 95% because 100% was an unrealistic target.

11035

Issue final rule to require premarket notification for bioengineered foods.

Dropped

 

The comments from the proposed rule have been received and analyzed, but no reaction has been received from the department or administration so publishing this in FY 2002 is unrealistic. However, this goal can be accomplished in FY 2003.

11010

Achieve adoption of the Food Code by at least one state agency in 28 states in the USA.

Unchanged

   

11020

Increase the percentage of high-risk domestic food establishment inspected once every year at least 95%.

Unchanged

   

11011

Assure that FDA inspections of domestic food establishments result in a high rate of conformance (at least 90%) with FDA requirements.

Dropped

 

This goal was dropped from each program because it was confusing and not a useful measure for performance. (See the context section for this goal in the Performance Plan for more details.)

11021.02

Increase the number of import exams of food products to 60,000.

Dropped

 

Import exams are now measured by a new goal (goal 11036) which measures physical exams only and not the combination of physical and analytical exams like this one.

11028

Increase to 10 the number of audits and assessments of foreign food safety systems, with an emphasis on high volume exporters to the U.S.

Dropped

 

This goal was dropped because resources are not available to conduct the in-depth audits necessary to assess the efficacy of the entire foreign food safety system.

11027

Maintain current level of monitoring for pesticides and environmental contaminants in foods through the collection and analysis of a targeted cohort of 8,000+ samples.

Unchanged

   

11036

None

New Goal

Increase food import surveillance by hiring 300 new investigators and analysts who will increase the number of physical exams 97% (24,000 exams) and conduct sample analyses on products with suspect histories.

Goal added to reflect additional Agency Counter Terrorism efforts developed in response to the September 11 terrorism attack.

11037

None

New Goal

Extend import coverage to an additional 45 ports that handle significant quantities of FDA-regulated products.

Goal added to reflect additional Agency Counter Terrorism efforts developed in response to the September 11 terrorism attack.

DRUGS

12001

Review and act on 90% of standard original NDA submissions within 10 months of receipt and 90% of priority original NDA submissions within 6 months.

Unchanged

   

12003

Review and act upon fileable original generic drug applications within 6 months after submission date.(55%)

Revised

Review and act upon fileable original generic drug applications within 6 months after submission date.(65%)

Target raised due to resource increase for the Generic Drug Program.

12032

Protect human research subjects participation in drug studies and assess the quality of data from these studies by conducting approximately 780 onsite inspections and data audits annually.

Unchanged

   

12007

12020

Inspect registered human drug manufacturers, repackers, relabelers and medical gas repackers. (26%)

Revised

Inspect registered human drug manufacturers, repackers, relabelers and medical gas repackers. (20%)

The target decreased due to problems resulting from the transition to a new database (FIS to FACTS) in FY 2000, which caused some adjustments in the way inventory and inspectional coverage were calculated. FY 2001 actual performance data was 19%, not the expected 26%.

12006

Assure that FDA inspections of domestic drug manufacturing and repacking establishments result in a high rate of conformance (at least 90%) with FDA requirements.

Dropped

 

This goal was dropped from each program because it was confusing and not a useful measure for performance. (See the context section for this goal in the Performance Plan for more details.)

13007

Assure that FDA inspections of domestic biologics manufacturing, repacking and blood banks establishments result in a high rate of conformance (at least 90%) with FDA requirements

Dropped

 

This goal was dropped from each program because it was confusing and not a useful measure for performance. (See the context section for this goal in the Performance Plan for more details.)

13008

Maintain the percentage of plasma fractionator establishments in compliance with CGMPs at 80%.

Dropped

 

This goal was dropped for two reasons: 1) Plasma fractionator establishment compliance with CGMP' s is beyond the control of FDA. FDA can determine their CGMP compliance through inspections, but it cannot maintain their compliance for them. 2) The biennial inspection goal for biologic establishments (Goal 13012) includes inspections of plasma fractionator establishments.

13012

Meet the biennial inspection statutory requirement by inspecting 50% of registered blood banks, source plasma operations and biologics manufacturing establishments.

Unchanged

   

ANIMAL DRUGS AND FEEDS

Review and act on 80% of NADAs/ Abbreviated New Animal Drug Applications (ANADAs) within 180 days of receipt.

Revised

Review and act on 50% of NADAs/ANADAs within 180 days of receipt.

The goal was revised from 80% to 50% because the Center has changed priorities and redirected resources from new reviews to clear the large backlog of animal drug applications. Decreasing the backlog was necessary in order to move CVM back on track towards meeting statutory and stakeholder requirements for new animal drug application review.

14019

None

New Goal

Reduce pending overdue Animal Drug applications by 15%.

This goal was added to reflect the center' s commitment to reducing its backlog. Decreasing the backlog was necessary in order to move CVM back on track towards meeting statutory and stakeholder requirements for new animal drug application review.

14002

Pilot and validate the procedure for receiving protocol submissions electronically.

Unchanged

   

14018

Begin to design and implement a Staff College. FY 02: Plan and design the option selected in Phase I

Unchanged

   

14004

Assure that FDA inspections of domestic animal drug and feed manufacturing establishments and repackers result in at least 90% conformance.

Dropped

 

This goal was dropped from each program because it was confusing and not a useful measure for performance. (See the context section for this goal in the Performance Plan for more details.)

14005

Increase isolate testing rate for Salmonella in the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS) at 12,000.

Revised

Maintain isolate testing rate for Salmonella in the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS) at 12,000.

 

14006

Assure 100% compliance with the BSE feed regulation through inspections and compliance actions.

Revised

Conduct targeted BSE inspections of 100% of all known renderers and feed mills handling prohibited material.

The scope of this goal was revised from "Assuring compliance" to "Conducting inspections" although the target of 100% remains the same. Realistically, assuring 100% compliance is too difficult to measure or attain.
