General Hospital and Personal Use Devices Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory Committee; Notice of Meeting, 52110 [05-17412]

Download as PDF 52110 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 169 / Thursday, September 1, 2005 / Notices FDA expects that, although all sizes of business are eligible, small businesses and very small businesses are the firms most likely to be able to demonstrate a need to request an extension to the trans fat labeling deadline. The agency has already received three requests from businesses regarding the trans fat labeling compliance date of January 1, 2006. Because small businesses are more likely to submit requests for extensions, and most of the affected businesses are small, we use the number of small businesses as the base to calculate the reporting burden. The regulatory flexibility analysis of the trans fat final rule estimated that 11,180 small businesses will have to revise the label on their products as a result of the trans fat final rule. Given that only three businesses have submitted requests to FDA so far, FDA estimates that, in the first year following the issuance of the guidance, the total number of businesses that will request a labeling compliance extension from FDA can be estimated as approximately 0.5 percent of the number of small businesses, which equals 56. FDA estimates that it will take one employee approximately 4 hours to put together a request to FDA and approximately 1 hour for a supervisor to look over the request before submitting it to the agency. Thus, each firm submitting a compliance extension request will need 5 hours of employee time to complete the request. Given that 56 businesses are expected to submit written requests in year one, the total burden hours for year one are 280. In year two, FDA expects about onehalf as many firms to request a labeling compliance extension. So for year two, 28 firms are expected to file a request for an extension to the labeling compliance date. Again, assuming that it will take 5 hours to complete each request, the total burden hours for year two will be 140. Dated: August 26, 2005. Jeffrey Shuren, Assistant Commissioner for Policy.
