FY2022 Small Businesses: Fee Reduction and Fee Waiver for Certain Medical Device Submissions
To reduce the financial burden on small businesses, the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) provides reduced medical device user fee for some types of submissions for a certified small business. "Small business" is defined as a business with $100 million or less in gross receipts or sales, in cluding receipts or sales from its affiliates. In addition, if a small business has gross receipts or sales of $30 million or less, it is eligible to have the fee waived for its first PMA, PDP, PMR or BLA.
The business must apply and be certified by CDRH before they can apply the small business fee reduction or waiver to a submission with a user fee. Any business, regardless of location, may apply to be certified as a small business. For more information, please review the Medical Device User Fee Small Business Qualification and Certification Guidance.
As of August 1, 2021, CDRH is accepting Small Business Determination requests for FY2022. The FY2022 Small Business status will be from time of certification through September 30, 2022.
