- EUA Application Reporting Burden: cost, medium. If you apply for an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) or a substantive amendment, FDA estimates a total annual reporting burden of 6,435 hours across respondents for those requests. The estimate covers submissions to CBER, CDER, and CDRH and reflects the paperwork time required to request an EUA or…

EUA holders and authorized stakeholders must disseminate required information (fact sheets, advertising, promotional materials); FDA estimates an annual third‑party disclosure burden of 6,920 hours for these activities. The estimate covers preparing and distributing required fact sheets and related…
