3. Extended review fee

chargeable for all reviews and advisories when:
i) APS is more than 10 pages or more than 15 references
ii) three or more resubmissions are required

Fees are invoiced after the first review letter has been sent. Fees are for the cost of the review and not for the acceptance of the APS. Once a piece has an approval number, we consider the approval process to have been completed for the fee that was assessed. Any revisions after that will be treated as a new submission with a new file number and billed a full fee. A review of prescribing information at launch or when revised will be billed an "All APS" fee.

Invoices are payable within 30 days; advertisers with outstanding balances may be required to clear their accounts before new reviews can begin. GST at 5% is applied to the above rates, GST#R104174743.

Questions about fees should be directed to the PAAB office: 375 Kingston Rd., Suite 200, Pickering Ont. L1V 1A3. Tel: (905) 509-2275: Fax 905-509-2486
