`The SPL will be accessible from publicly available labeling repositories.
`
`Also within 14 days, amend all pending supplemental applications that include labeling
`changes for this NDA, including CBE supplements for which FDA has not yet issued an
`action letter, with the content of labeling [21 CFR 314.50(l)(1)(i)] in Microsoft Word

`annual reportable changes. To facilitate review of your submission(s), provide a

`
`REQUIRED PEDIATRIC ASSESSMENTS

`are required to contain an assessment of the safety and effectiveness of the product for
`the claimed indication in pediatric patients unless this requirement is waived, deferred,
`or inapplicable.
`
`Because none of these criteria apply to your application, you are exempt from this
`requirement.
