PDUFA Cover Sheet

Form FDA 3397 preparation, fee logic, validation, PDF, and Oracle AR export

Unofficial preparation tool
This application does not submit information to FDA. The official PD... payment ID is created only in FDA's user-fee cover-sheet system. Generated PDFs are visibly marked as preparation copies.

Step 1 of 8

Confirm scope and timing

Start with the FDA receipt date and regulatory pathway. These answers determine whether Form FDA 3397 applies and which fiscal-year rates are used.

PDUFA-R01

Use the date FDA is expected to receive the complete application. The federal fiscal year runs October 1 through September 30.

How do I obtain this?

Use the center identified in FDA correspondence for the product or the center that manages the related IND. Confirm uncertain assignments with FDA.

PDUFA Form FDA 3397 is for 505(b) NDAs and 351(a) BLAs, not ANDAs or 351(k) biosimilar applications.

Why this matters

A resubmission after Refuse-to-File or withdrawal before filing is charged the applicable full or half fee again unless an FDA-granted waiver or reduction applies. A separate statutory exception can apply to a same-product resubmission that had been accepted for filing.

View excluded application categories

The statutory definition excludes supplements, specified blood and allergenic products, in vitro diagnostic biologics, certain older large-volume parenterals, biological products for further manufacturing use only, and noncommercial State or Federal submissions. ANDAs, 351(k) biosimilar applications, and annual program fees use different processes.

Research basis

Rules, data logic, and official sources

Change control: Fee rates change every fiscal year and PDUFA VIII will begin after PDUFA VII. Re-verify sources before production deployment or each annual rate update.

Oracle integration boundary

The Oracle export is an AutoInvoice-style staging file. Your implementation team must map and validate it against the imported transaction source, Transaction Flexfield, grouping rule, customer references, open GL period, tax setup, and any required distribution interface rows in the target Oracle E-Business Suite instance.
