FDA has issued a “ Draft Report and Plan on Best Practices for Guidance.” In the [document](https://www.fda.gov/media/175121/download?attachment&ref=fdaweb.com), the agency identifies the best practices for the efficient prioritization, development, review, clearance, issuance, and use of guidance documents. The agency says it is also considering opportunities to further improve its guidance development and review and clearance practices, streamline processes for regulatory submissions to FDA through the issuance of guidance documents, and implement innovative guidance development processes.

The agency is asking for feedback from a broad range of commenters, including regulated industry; researchers; academic organizations; pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device developers; clinical research organizations; clinical laboratories; healthcare providers; food manufacturers; and consumer and patient groups on how it can best refine and enhance the current guidance practices.
