`ment for fiscal year 2013 shall be the sum of—

`inflation adjustment calculation determined using the

`
`Exhibit 2007 Page 005
`
`

`

`S. 3187—6
`
`‘‘(i) $652,709,000 plus the amount of the inflation
`adjustment calculated under subparagraph (A); multi-
`plied by

`workload adjustment for fiscal year 2013, as deter-
`mined using the methodology described in subsection
`(c)(2)(A), would exceed the percentage workload adjust-
`ment (as so determined) for fiscal year 2012, if both
`such adjustment percentages were calculated using the
`5-year base period consisting of fiscal years 2003
`through 2007.
`‘‘(C) LIMITATION.—Under no circumstances shall the
`adjustment under subparagraph (B) result in fee revenues
`for fiscal year 2013 that are less than the sum of the
`amount under paragraph (1)(A) and the amount under
`paragraph (1)(B).’’;
`(3) by striking subsection (c) and inserting the following:
`‘‘(c) ADJUSTMENTS.—
`‘‘(1) INFLATION ADJUSTMENT.—For fiscal year 2014 and sub-
`sequent fiscal years, the revenues established in subsection
`(b) shall be adjusted by the Secretary by notice, published
`in the Federal Register, for a fiscal year by the amount equal
`to the sum of—
`‘‘(A) one;
`‘‘(B) the average annual percent change in the cost,
`per full-time equivalent position of the Food and Drug
`Administration, of all personnel compensation and benefits
`paid with respect to such positions for the first 3 years
`of the preceding 4 fiscal years, multiplied by the proportion
`of personnel compensation and benefits costs to total costs
`of the process for the review of human drug applications
`(as defined in section 735(6)) for the first 3 years of the
`preceding 4 fiscal years, and
`‘‘(C) the average annual percent change that occurred
`in the Consumer Price Index for urban consumers (Wash-
`ington-Baltimore, DC–MD–VA–WV; Not Seasonally
`Adjusted; All items; Annual Index) for the first 3 years
`of the preceding 4 years of available data multiplied by
`the proportion of all costs other than personnel compensa-
`tion and benefits costs to total costs of the process for
`the review of human drug applications (as defined in sec-
`tion 735(6)) for the first 3 years of the preceding 4 fiscal
`years.
`The adjustment made each fiscal year under this paragraph
`shall be added on a compounded basis to the sum of all adjust-
`ments made each fiscal year after fiscal year 2013 under this
`paragraph.
`‘‘(2) WORKLOAD ADJUSTMENT.—For fiscal year 2014 and
`subsequent fiscal years, after the fee revenues established in
`subsection (b) are adjusted for a fiscal year for inflation in
`accordance with paragraph (1), the fee revenues shall be
`adjusted further for such fiscal year to reflect changes in the
`workload of the Secretary for the process for the review of
`human drug applications. With respect to such adjustment:
`‘‘(A) The adjustment shall be determined by the Sec-
`retary based on a weighted average of the change in the
`total number of human drug applications (adjusted for
`
`Exhibit 2007 Page 006
`
`

`

`S. 3187—7
`
`changes in review activities, as described in the notice
`that the Secretary is required to publish in the Federal
`Register under this subparagraph), efficacy supplements,
`and manufacturing supplements submitted to the Sec-
`retary, and the change in the total number of active
`commercial investigational new drug applications (adjusted
`for changes in review activities, as so described) during
`the most recent 12-month period for which data on such
`submissions is available. The Secretary shall publish in
`the Federal Register the fee revenues and fees resulting
`from the adjustment and the supporting methodologies.
`‘‘(B) Under no circumstances shall the adjustment
`result in fee revenues for a fiscal year that are less than
`the sum of the amount under subsection (b)(1)(A) and the
`amount under subsection (b)(1)(B), as adjusted for inflation
`under paragraph (1).
`‘‘(C) The Secretary shall contract with an independent
`accounting or consulting firm to periodically review the
`adequacy of the adjustment and publish the results of
`those reviews. The first review shall be conducted and
`published by the end of fiscal year 2013 (to examine the
`performance of the adjustment since fiscal year 2009), and
`the second review shall be conducted and published by
`the end of fiscal year 2015 (to examine the continued
`performance of the adjustment). The reports shall evaluate
`whether the adjustment reasonably represents actual
`changes in workload volume and complexity and present
`options to discontinue, retain, or modify any elements of
`the adjustment. The reports shall be published for public
`comment. After review of the reports and receipt of public
`comments, the Secretary shall, if warranted, adopt appro-
`priate changes to the methodology. If the Secretary adopts
`changes to the methodology based on the first report, the
`changes shall be effective for the first fiscal year for which
`fees are set after the Secretary adopts such changes and
`each subsequent fiscal year.
`‘‘(3) FINAL YEAR ADJUSTMENT.—For fiscal year 2017, the
`Secretary may, in addition to adjustments under this paragraph
`and paragraphs (1) and (2), further increase the fee revenues
`and fees established in subsection (b) if such an adjustment
`is necessary to provide for not more than 3 months of operating
`reserves of carryover user fees for the process for the review
`of human drug applications for the first 3 months of fiscal
`year 2018. If such an adjustment is necessary, the rationale
`for the amount of the increase shall be contained in the annual
`notice establishing fee revenues and fees for fiscal year 2017.
`If the Secretary has carryover balances for such process in
`excess of 3 months of such operating reserves, the adjustment
`under this paragraph shall not be made.
`‘‘(4) ANNUAL FEE SETTING.—The Secretary shall, not later
`than 60 days before the start of each fiscal year that begins
`after September 30, 2012, establish, for the next fiscal year,
`application, product, and establishment fees under subsection
`(a), based on the revenue amounts established under subsection
`(b) and the adjustments provided under this subsection.
`‘‘(5) LIMIT.—The total amount of fees charged, as adjusted
`under this subsection, for a fiscal year may not exceed the
`
`Exhibit 2007 Page 007
`
`

`

`S. 3187—8
