Appendix C: Disposition of FY 2003 Performance Goals


Goal ID Original Goal Statement as stated in FY 03 Congressional Justification Disposition Revised FY 2003 Targets Explanation
FOODS
11001 Complete the safety evaluation of 65 percent of the number of food and color additive petitions that were under review for more than 360 days at the beginning of the Fiscal Year. Revised Complete review and action on the safety evaluation of 65% of food and color additive petitions within 360 days of receipt. FDA has changed all its major premarket goals to be consistent agency-wide, and decrease the potential for confusion that is associated with each program's unique terminology. These goals now include the statement "complete review and action onÖ"
11010 Achieve adoption of the Food Code by at least one state agency in 33 states in the USA. Unchanged    
11020 Inspect 95 percent of high-risk domestic food establishments once every year. Unchanged    
11025 Respond to 95 percent of notifications for dietary supplements containing "new dietary ingredients" within 75 days. Unchanged    
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    
11034 Review 95 percent of premarket notifications for food contact substances in the receipt cohort of FY 2002 within the statutory time limit (120 days). Unchanged    
11035 Publish a final rule to require premarket notification for bioengineered foods. Dropped   This goal has been dropped because developing the final rule will require further intensive analysis focused at least in part on the question of statutory authority as well as elaborating the process, and the decision criteria and endpoints of such a program. These new challenges make this goal unrealistic for the coming fiscal year.
11036 Increase the number of physical exams by 100% to 48,000 exams and conduct sample analyses on products with suspect histories. Unchanged   This goal statement and target are unchanged, however this goal has been repeated in the Agency-wide Program Section that focuses on Global Product Safety and Security to reflect the Agency's coordinated response to terrorist threats.
11037 Enhance productivity at the 45 additional ports through focused training. Dropped   This goal has been dropped because it is not specific enough. It is being replaced with more specific and effective measures starting in FY 04 in the Agency-wide Program Section that focuses on Global Product Safety and Security.

Revised Meet PDUFA III commitments for the review of original NDA submissions. Standard NDAs within 10 months- FY 03: 90%. Priority NDAs within 6 months- FY 03: 90%. The goal has been revised to incorporate PDUFA III.
12003 Review and act upon fileable original generic drug applications within 6 months after submission date. Revised Complete review and action on fileable original generic drug applications within 6 months after submission date. FDA has changed all its major premarket goals to be consistent agency-wide, and decrease the potential for confusion that is associated with each program's unique terminology. These goals now include the statement "complete review and action onÖ"
12007 Streamline adverse drug event reporting system. Unchanged    
12016 CDER will conduct laboratory research on at least three projects identified as related to the mission of PQRI Unchanged    
12020 Inspect registered human drug manufacturers, repackers, relabelers and medical gas repackers. Revised Inspect 55% of registered high-risk human drug manufacturers. The revised goal supports a risk-based approach by encouraging inspections at drug establishments that address or prevent manufacturing problems that would have the most significant adverse effect on drug safety and effectiveness.
12026 Implement, evaluate, track and report on the clinical trials FDA is requesting under FDAMA or requiring under the Pediatric Rule. Revised Increase the number of drugs that are adequately labeled for children. The revised goal clearly indicates FDA's intent on the behalf of the pediatric population.
12032 Protect human research subjects who participate in drug studies and assess the quality of data from these studies by conducting approximately 780 onsite inspections and data audits annually. Revised Protect human research subjects who participate in drug studies and assess the quality of data from these studies by conducting onsite inspections and data audits annually Decreasing NDA submissions in FY 2001 and 2002 has necessitated the need to establish new baselines. The number of inspections is dependent on submissions and will fluctuate accordingly.
12036 Identify and begin to address labeling gaps in the therapeutic armamentarium for the prevention, mitigation, and treatment of illnesses cases by chemical and biological attacks, including the needs for special populations, such as pregnant women, pediatric, and geriatric populations. Dropped   Replaced by new counter terrorism goal below #12045.

12041 Expedite the review of protocols for investigational new radioprotectant drugs (including heavy metal chelators) for use in the event of a radiation emergency. Dropped   Replaced by new counter terrorism goal below #12045.
12042 Finalize rulemaking to establish a web-based electronic drug registration and listing database to allow for complete and up-to-date data on all regulated drug products, and follow this finalization with launch of the electronic database. Dropped   Combined with re-added goal #12027 below.
12027   Re-added Give consumers and health professionals more easily understandable, accessible, timely, and accurate prescription and OTC drug information. Was in the performance plan in FY 01, was dropped, re-added, and combined with goal #12042.
12045   New Facilitate development and availability of medical countermeasures to limit the effects of the intentional use of biological, chemical, or radiologic/nuclear agents. New counter terrorism goal with specific milestones to replace previous counteterrorism goals.
12051   New Create state-of-the-art information management systems and practices to move to a paperless environment (e-Government). The use of current technology will allow CDER to receive and review regulatory submissions more efficiently. Standards for submission must be developed in order to move to a paperless environment in an efficient and cost effective manner. This goal also falls under the President's Management Agenda of e-government.
