The following burden estimates are based on FDA’s experience with voluntary recalls under 21 CFR part 7. FDA expects no more than two mandatory recalls per year, as most recalls are done voluntarily. Section 810.10(d)—FDA estimates that it will take approximately 8 hours for the person named in a cease distribution and notification order to gather and submit the information required by this section. The total estimated annual burden is 16 hours. Section 810.11(a)—Based on experience in similar situations, FDA expects that there will be only one request for a regulatory hearing per year and that it will take approximately 8 hours to prepare this request. Section 810.12(a) and (b)—Based on experience in similar situations, FDA expects that there will be only one written request for a review of a cease distribution and notification order per year and that it will take approximately 8 hours to prepare this request. Section 810.14—Based upon its experience with voluntary recalls, FDA estimates that it will take approximately 16 hours to develop a strategy for complying with the order.

FDA estimates that it will take them about 1 hour to do so. Section 810.16—FDA estimates that it would take no more than 40 hours to assemble and prepare a written status report required by a recall. The status reports are prepared by manufacturers 6 to 12 times each year. Therefore, each manufacturer would spend no more than 480 hours each year preparing status reports. If there were two FDA invoked recalls each year, the total burden hours estimated would be 960 hours each year.
