have applications with those of public health. and what is the approval time? >> so we have had a project manager aware of each to make sure rous properly through the system. >> may i make a statement at the end? >> yes. the reason why it is silly central only 15 percent did that but to date is approaching 90 percent. however some people distorted that with regard to generics. and thinks horror getting into this. i also want to think the people that the fda. it is our job to have pressure on you. the irritations and comments and screaming and shouting. and also of that huge facility in this area. so i hope you'll keep going the this is critical to the federal budget and crucial -- critical to the success so hopefully if you see any changes that you are subject to that you think would help. >> absolutely. >> i may have made the misstatement. i said there were no generic drugs 30 years ago. there were some but had to go to the whole process. what is the accurate way? >> because they had quality problems. so the program put into plac

another application, totally the wrong application in there.t's hard to think of everything that people can do that isn't right. but we do try to give guidance in having a policy offices. we definitely aspire to put out much more guidance and training on what is acceptable. i have a slide in the -- >> can i just move to something else? >> yeah. >> i'll accept your explanation. >> believe me, i'll hear from them. next, following up on what senator collins has said, but also relating back to testimony that you gave to the energy and commerce committee a couple years ago when i was on that committee, one of the reasons for drug shortages is that there's been a concentration of drug manufacturers. if there's a quality problem with that one concentrated facility, then my gosh, it ripples through. now, what i'm told is that kadufa has a facility fee. and if you only have one facility or contract out to a cmo, a contract manufacturing organization, that somehow you lower the facility fee. it would require us to change that. but because of this we've h

the act promise shorter wait times but required applicants required applicants to pay $1.5 billion in user fears over a five-year period. despite the fees and promises the f da still has a backlog of more than 3700 generic drug applications. the basic premise here is what a basic economics. if you have someone who rapidly increases the price of a prescription drug that is going to invite more competition. if that competition can get approval from the fda then there is no competition and the price will be and it will continue to rise. most of my questions today are for the fda and what they are doing to accelerate that process. i believe the fda has failed to meet its statutory responsibility. it is dramatically behind in its processing. a good example of how valuable a shortened fda review process has become is the program that offers priority review vouchers. because the review process can be time-consuming drug companies have been paying outrageous sums for these vouchers. last last year one of the boucher sulfur $350 million these vouchers only speed up the process by four months.
