FDA Device Budget Would Increase Only Due To User Fees Under 2015 Budget Request-thegraysheet: FDA’s device budget would increase by about $13 million in fiscal year 2015 under the Obama administration’s budget request, but that is only as a result of an increase in user fees. Otherwise, based only on appropriations from Congress, the center would see a slight decline from the proposal. The request, sent to Congress March 4, targets $318 million to FDA device functions, including CDRH and device-focused efforts by the Office of Regulatory Affairs, down from the FY 2014 estimated budget of $318 million. But the total requested device budget, including user fees, is $441 million, up from $428 million in 2014, according to budget documents.
