The US Food and Drug Administration’s medical device registration user fees for the agency’s 2017 fiscal year have decreased nearly across the board, including 10% reductions for 510(k) premarket notifications.

US FDA medical device user fees for 2017The 2017 user fee reductions stem from offset provisions of the Federal Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act, which came into effect after the FDA reported fee collections that exceeded appropriated cumulative amounts between the regulator’s 2013 and 2016 fiscal years.

As a result, “the excess shall be credited to the appropriation account of the Food and Drug Administration and shall be subtracted from the amount of fees that would otherwise be authorized to be collected for FY 2017,” states the FDA’s notice on its 2017 user fees.
