Today, President Bush signed into law H.R. 3580, the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007. The law reauthorizes the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, an important source of funding for FDA, just in time to avoid agency layoffs. The law should also improve the ability of the agency to assure the safety of prescription drugs after they have been approved for the market. For a description of the bill and a recap of the debate in Congress, see OMB Watch's analysis, "Congress Expands FDA User Fee Program, Reforms Drug Safety Process."
