In a sensible world the FDA simply says "we're going to waive these fees this year and last".
- tptacek 6y agoIt seems likely that's exactly what will happen.
- dwighttk 6y agoThey seem to have just announced these fees... why would they then not charge them instead of just not creating them?
- zaroth 6y agoGiven sufficient blowback this published rule will be changed.
- tptacek 6y agoAs was easily predicted: the fees have been waived. https://twitter.com/josh_wingrove/status/1344783964926578689 https://twitter.com/josh_wingrove/status/1344783964926578689
- dwighttk 6y agoGood. I would love to see the rationale for the fee.
- tptacek 6y agoI don't think there was a rationale for the fee. The FDA collects fees from OTC drug manufacturers (who operate under a standard "monograph" recipe that outlines their doses and formulations); those fees fund the FDA monograph programs. That makes economic sense! I don't think people anticipated distilleries becoming OTC drug manufacturers by dint of producing hand sanitizer.
