## Summary

**Would create a mandatory notification system requiring manufacturers to alert the Secretary about likely U.S. supply disruptions for critical medicines.** It would narrow which products count as "covered drugs", set specific timelines and content for alerts, expand supply-chain reporting, and require the Secretary to share warnings with clinicians and patient groups. - Manufacturers: Producers of designated "covered drugs" would have to report events likely to cause meaningful disruption, including permanent discontinuances, manufacturing interruptions, API shortages, increased demand, or export restrictions. Notifications must name API sources and possible alternatives, note if related devices contribute, estimate duration, and follow timelines such as at least 6 months before a planned discontinuance and as soon as practicable or within 10 business days for sudden demand or export problems. - Clinicians and patients: The Secretary would distribute notification information to physicians, health providers, and patient organizations so care teams and patients can plan for shortages and consider alternatives. - Scope and transparency: The Secretary could designate drugs as "covered" when they are life-supporting, life-sustaining, or critical for preventing or treating debilitating conditions, emergency care, surgery, or public health emergencies. The bill would also require semiannual supply-chain reports in March and September listing legal names of API and intermediate suppliers and the amounts manufactured from each, with an option for registrants to submit additional voluntary reports.
