SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. ‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal agencies to provide a 60–day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information set forth in this document. With respect to the following collection of information, FDA invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA’s functions, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information technology. State Petitions for Exemption From Preemption—21 CFR 100.1(d) (OMB Control Number 0910–0277)—Extension Under section 403A(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 343–1(b)), States may petition FDA for exemption from Federal preemption of State food labeling and standard of identity requirements. Section 100.1(d) (21 CFR 100.1(d)) sets forth the information a State is required to submit in such a petition. The information required under § 100.1(d) enables FDA to determine whether the State food labeling or standard of identity requirement satisfies the criteria of section 403A(b) of the act for granting exemption from Federal preemption. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1.—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN1 21 CFR Section 100.1(d) 1 There Annual Frequency per Response Total Annual Responses 1 Number of Respondents 1 1 Hours per Response 40 Total Hours 40 are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. The reporting burden for § 100.1(d) is insignificant because petitions for exemption from preemption are seldom submitted by States. In the last 3 years, FDA has not received any new petitions; therefore, the agency estimates that one or fewer petitions will be submitted annually. Because § 100.1(d) implements a statutory information collection requirement, only the additional burden attributable to the regulation has been included in the estimate. Although FDA believes that the burden will be insignificant, it believes these information collection provisions should be extended to provide for the potential future need of a State or local government to petition for an exemption from preemption under the provisions of section 403(A) of the act.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peggy Robbins, Office of Management Programs (HFA–250), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301–827–1223. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance. Medical Device Registration and Listing—21 CFR Parts 807.22, 807.31, and 807.40 (OMB Control Number 0910–0387)—Extension Section 510 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 360) requires domestic establishments engaged in the manufacture, preparation, propagation, compounding, assembly, or processing of medical devices intended for human use and commercial distribution register their establishments and list the devices they manufacture with FDA. This is accomplished by completing FDA Form 2891 ‘‘Registration of Device Establishment’’ and FDA Form 2892 ‘‘Medical Device Listing.’’ The term ‘‘device’’ is defined in section 201(h) of the act (21 U.S.C. 321) and includes all in vitro diagnostic products and in vitro diagnostic biological products not subject to licensing under section 351 of E:\FR\FM\13JAN1.SGM 13JAN1 2414 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 9 / Thursday, January 13, 2005 / Notices the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 262). The FDA Modernization Act of 1997 (FDAMA) added a requirement for foreign establishments to appoint a U.S. agent and submit the information to FDA on Form 2891 as part of its initial and updated registration information. In addition, each year, active, registered establishments must notify FDA of changes to the current registration and device listing for the establishment. Annual changes to current registration information are preprinted on FDA Form 2891a and sent to registered establishments. The form must be sent back to FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health, even if no changes have occurred. Changes to listing information are submitted on Form 2892. Under § 807.31 (21 CFR 807.31), each owner or operator is required to maintain an historical file containing the labeling and advertisements in use on the date of initial listing, and in use after October 10, 1978, but before the geographic distribution in order to effectively allocate FDA’s field resources for these inspections and to identify the class of the device that determines the inspection frequency. When complications occur with a particular device or component, manufacturers of similar or related devices can be easily identified. The likely respondents to this information collection will be domestic and foreign device establishments and U.S. agents who must register and submit a device list to FDA (e.g., establishments engaged in the manufacture, preparation, propagation, compounding, assembly, or processing of medical devices intended for human use and commercial distribution). In the Federal Register of October 29, 2004 (69 FR 63156), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the information collection provisions. No comments were received. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: date of initial listing. The owner or operator must maintain in the historical file any labeling or advertisements in which a material change has been made anytime after initial listing, but may discard labeling and advertisements from the file 3 years after the date of the last shipment of a discontinued device by an owner or operator. Along with the recordkeeping requirements previously mentioned in this document, the owner or operator must be prepared to submit to FDA all labeling and advertising (§ 807.31(e)). Section 807.40 (21 CFR 807.40) describes the role of the U.S. agent. The U.S. agent must reside or have a physical place of business in the United States, and each foreign establishment must submit U.S. agent information as part of its initial and updated registration process. The information collected through these provisions is used by FDA to identify firms subject to FDA’s regulations and is used to identify ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN TABLE 1A.—ESTIMATED YEAR 1 ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN1 21 CFR Section No. of Respondents FDA Form 807.22(a) and 807.40 Annual Frequency of Response Total Annual Responses Hours Per Response Form 2891 Initial and Updates Establishment Registration 2,900 1 2,900 .25 725 Form 2892 Device Listing– initial and updates 4,400 1 4,400 .50 2,200 Form 2891a–Registration Update 25,100 1 25,100 .25 6,275 200 1 200 .50 100 807.22(b) 807.22(a) and 807.40 807.31(e) Total Year 1 Burden Hours 1 There Total Hours 9,300 are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

The estimates cited in tables 1A, 1B, and 2 of this document are based primarily upon the annual FDA accomplishment report, which includes actual FDA registration and listing figures from fiscal year (FY) 2003. These estimates are also based on FDA estimates of FY 2003 data from current systems, conversations with industry and trade association representatives, and from internal review of the documents referred to in tables 1A, 1B, and 2 of this document. According to 21 CFR part 807, all owners/operators are required to list, and establishments and U.S. agents are required to register. Each owner/ operator has an average of two establishments, according to statistics gathered from FDA’s registration and listing database. The database has 25,100 active establishments listed in it. Based on past experience, the agency anticipated that approximately 7,300 registrations will be processed during the first year, and 3,100 thereafter. FDA anticipates reviewing 200 historical files annually. Dated: January 7, 2005. Jeffrey Shuren, Assistant Commissioner for Policy.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has 
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for 
review and clearance.
    Medical Device Registration and Listing--21 CFR Parts 807.22, 
807.31, and 807.40 (OMB Control Number 0910-0387)--Extension
    Section 510 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) 
(21 U.S.C. 360) requires domestic establishments engaged in the 
manufacture, preparation, propagation, compounding, assembly, or 
processing of medical devices intended for human use and commercial 
distribution register their establishments and list the devices they 
manufacture with FDA. This is accomplished by completing FDA Form 2891 
``Registration of Device Establishment'' and FDA Form 2892 ``Medical 
Device Listing.'' The term ``device'' is defined in section 201(h) of 
the act (21 U.S.C. 321) and includes all in vitro diagnostic products 
and in vitro diagnostic biological products not subject to licensing 
under section 351 of

[[Page 2414]]

the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 262). The FDA Modernization 
Act of 1997 (FDAMA) added a requirement for foreign establishments to 
appoint a U.S. agent and submit the information to FDA on Form 2891 as 
part of its initial and updated registration information. In addition, 
each year, active, registered establishments must notify FDA of changes 
to the current registration and device listing for the establishment. 
Annual changes to current registration information are preprinted on 
FDA Form 2891a and sent to registered establishments. The form must be 
sent back to FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health, even if 
no changes have occurred. Changes to listing information are submitted 
on Form 2892.
    Under Sec.  807.31 (21 CFR 807.31), each owner or operator is 
required to maintain an historical file containing the labeling and 
advertisements in use on the date of initial listing, and in use after 
October 10, 1978, but before the date of initial listing. The owner or 
operator must maintain in the historical file any labeling or 
advertisements in which a material change has been made anytime after 
initial listing, but may discard labeling and advertisements from the 
file 3 years after the date of the last shipment of a discontinued 
device by an owner or operator. Along with the recordkeeping 
requirements previously mentioned in this document, the owner or 
operator must be prepared to submit to FDA all labeling and advertising 
(Sec.  807.31(e)).
    Section 807.40 (21 CFR 807.40) describes the role of the U.S. 
agent. The U.S. agent must reside or have a physical place of business 
in the United States, and each foreign establishment must submit U.S. 
agent information as part of its initial and updated registration 
process.
    The information collected through these provisions is used by FDA 
to identify firms subject to FDA's regulations and is used to identify 
geographic distribution in order to effectively allocate FDA's field 
resources for these inspections and to identify the class of the device 
that determines the inspection frequency. When complications occur with 
a particular device or component, manufacturers of similar or related 
devices can be easily identified.
    The likely respondents to this information collection will be 
domestic and foreign device establishments and U.S. agents who must 
register and submit a device list to FDA (e.g., establishments engaged 
in the manufacture, preparation, propagation, compounding, assembly, or 
processing of medical devices intended for human use and commercial 
distribution).
    In the Federal Register of October 29, 2004 (69 FR 63156), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the information 
collection provisions. No comments were received.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

    The burdens are explained as follows:
    The annual reporting burden hours to respondents for registering 
establishments and listing devices is estimated to be 9,450 hours, and 
recordkeeping burden hours for respondents is estimated to be 32,400 
hours. The estimates cited in tables 1A, 1B, and 2 of this document are 
based primarily upon the annual FDA accomplishment report, which 
includes actual FDA registration and listing figures from fiscal year 
(FY) 2003. These estimates are also based on FDA estimates of FY 2003 
data from current systems, conversations with industry and trade 
association representatives, and from internal review of the documents 
referred to in tables 1A, 1B, and 2 of this document.
    According to 21 CFR part 807, all owners/operators are required to 
list, and establishments and U.S. agents are required to register. Each 
owner/operator has an average of two establishments, according to 
statistics gathered from FDA's registration and listing database. The 
database has 25,100 active establishments listed in it. Based on past 
experience, the agency anticipated that approximately 7,300 
registrations will be processed during the first year, and 3,100 
thereafter. FDA anticipates reviewing 200 historical files annually.

    Dated: January 7, 2005.
Jeffrey Shuren,
Assistant Commissioner for Policy.
