Delay of Effective Date: PDMA and Prescription Drug Amendments of 1992

Because the FDA is working with stakeholders through its counterfeit drug initiative to encourage widespread, voluntary adoption of track-and-trace technologies that will generate a de facto electronic pedigree, including prior transaction history back to the original manufacturer, as a routine course of business, the agency is delaying the effective date of Sections 203.3(u) and 203.50 (21 CFR 203.3(u) until Dec. 1, 2007. The delay will allow stakeholders a chance to continue to move toward the goal of universal use of track-and-trace technology, which, if widely adopted, will help fulfill the pedigree requirements of the Prescription Drug Marketing Act of 1987 (PDMA) and obviate or resolve many of the concerns that have been raised with respect to the final rule by ensuring that an electronic pedigree travels with a drug product at all times.
