*Federal Register* notice: FDA has made available a draft guidance entitled “Providing Regulatory Submissions in Alternate Electronic Format.” The document addresses submissions (NDAs, BLAs, ANDAs, etc.) that are exempt from the requirement to submit electronically following the agency-recognized electronic common technical document format. It also describes an alternate electronic format sponsors or applicants should use for submissions covered under such exemptions and waivers.
