Generic Drug User Fee Amendments

On September 30, 2022, the President signed into law the FDA User Fee Reauthorization Act of 2022, which includes the reauthorization of the Generic Drug User Fee Amendments (GDUFA) through September 2027 (GDUFA III). Congress first enacted GDUFA in 2012, following negotiations between the FDA and industry and with input from public stakeholders. Congress enacted GDUFA to ensure patients have access to safe, high-quality, and affordable generic drugs. GDUFA enables FDA to assess industry user fees to bring greater predictability and timeliness to the review of generic drug applications.

This page features news and information for industry and stakeholders about GDUFA, its fee structure, payment methods, and related information. Additional information can be found on the GDUFA III Reauthorization web page.
