The Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) is responsible for responding to citizen petitions relating to certain drug products, including generic drugs. Within CDER, the Office of Regulatory Policy (ORP) has primary responsibility for drafting responses to citizen petitions, except for petitions relating to over- the-counter drug monographs or ``suitability'' petitions (see 21 CFR 314.93). Recently, CDER has seen a significant increase in petitions.
