SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background MDUFMA (Public Law 107–250) amended section 502 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 352) to require a device, or an attachment to the device, to bear prominently and conspicuously the name of the manufacturer, a generally recognized abbreviation of such name, or a unique and generally recognized symbol identifying the manufacturer. This labeling provision applied to all devices and all device manufacturers, including reprocessors. On August 1, 2005, MDUFSA (Public Law 109–43) amended section 502(u) of the act by limiting the provision to reprocessed single-use devices (SUDs) and the manufacturers who reprocess them. Therefore, section 502(u) of the act, as amended by MDUFSA, no longer sets forth requirements for original equipment manufacturers, unless they also reprocess SUDs. Under the amended provision, if an original device or an attachment to it does not prominently and conspicuously bear the name of the manufacturer of the original VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:40 Oct 07, 2005 Jkt 208001 device, a generally recognized abbreviation of such name, or a unique and generally recognized symbol identifying such manufacturer, the manufacturer who reprocesses the SUD may identify itself using a detachable label on the packaging of the device. Section 2(c)(2) of MDUFSA requires that FDA issue guidance not later than 180 days after the date of its enactment to identify the circumstances under which the identifying mark of a manufacturer of an original device is not ‘‘prominent and conspicuous,’’ as used in section 502(u) of the act. When finalized, this guidance document will satisfy this MDUFSA requirement. As stated previously, FDA requests that interested person submit their comments on the draft guidance within 30 days of its publication. FDA will consider these comments to determine whether to revise the guidance before issuing it in final form. II. Significance of Guidance This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when finalized will represent the agency’s current thinking on ‘‘Compliance With Section 301 of the Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act of 2002, as amended—Prominent and Conspicuous Mark of Manufacturers on Single-Use Devices.’’ It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statute and regulations. III.

ACTION: SUMMARY: The Indian Health Service (IHS), as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance consultation program to provide the general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program helps to ensure that requested data can be provided in the desired format, reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly understood, and the impact of collection requirements on respondents can be properly assessed. As required by section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Act, the proposed information collection has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. The IHS received no comments in response to the 60-day Federal Register notice (70 FR 44663) published on August 3, 2005. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment to be submitted directly to OMB. Proposed Collection: Title: 0917– 0026, ‘‘Final Rule to Implement Title V of the Tribal Self-Governance Amendments of 2000’’. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension, without revision, of currently approved information collection, 0917– 0026, ‘‘Final Rule to Implement Title V of the Tribal Self-Governance Amendments of 2000’’. Form Number: None. Forms: None. Need and Use of Information Collection: The ‘‘Tribal Self-Governance Amendments of 2000’’, Public Law 106–206 (the act), repeals Title III of the Indian Self-Determination Act, Public Law 93–638, as amended, (ISDA) and enacts Title V that established a permanent SelfGovernance program within DHHS. Thus Indian and Alaska Native Tribes are now able to compact for the operation, control, and redesign of various IHS activities on a permanent basis. The final rule has been negotiated among representatives of SelfGovernance and non-Self-Governance Tribes and the DHHS. The final rule included provision governing how DHHS/IHS carries out its responsibility to Indian Tribes under the Act and how Indian Tribes carry out their responsibilities under the Act. As required by section 517(b) of the Act, the Department has developed this final rule with active Tribal participation of Indian Tribes, inter-Tribal consortia, Tribal organizations and individual Tribal members, using the guidance of the Negotiated Rulemaking Act, 5 U.S.C. 561 et seq. Health status reporting requirements will be negotiated on an individual Tribal basis and included in individual compacts of funding agreements. Response to the data collection continues to be voluntary; however, submission of the data is essential to participation in the Tribal Self-Governance process. SelfGovernance Tribes have the option of participating in the Tribal SelfGovernance process. Self-Governance Tribes have the option of participating in a voluntary national uniform data collection effort with the IHS. The department is seeking continued OMB approval of the collection of information identified in the following sections of the regulations: Subpart C-Selection of Tribes for Participation in SelfGovernance, Subpart D and E-Compact and Funding Agreement, Subpart NConstruction Projects, and Subpart PAppeals. Affected Public: Individual Tribes. Type of Respondents: Tribal Representatives.

Proposed Information Collection: Final Rule To Implement Title V 
of the Tribal Self-Governance Amendments of 2000; Request for Public 
Comment: 30-Day Notice

AGENCY: Indian Health Service, HHS.

[[Page 59076]]


ACTION: Request for Public Comment: 30-day Proposed Information 
Collection: Final Rule to Implement Title V of the Tribal Self-
Governance Amendments of 2000.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Indian Health Service (IHS), as part of its continuing 
effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-
clearance consultation program to provide the general public and 
Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or 
continuing collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program 
helps to ensure that requested data can be provided in the desired 
format, reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized, 
collection instruments are clearly understood, and the impact of 
collection requirements on respondents can be properly assessed. As 
required by section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Act, the proposed information 
collection has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for review and approval. The IHS received no comments in response 
to the 60-day Federal Register notice (70 FR 44663) published on August 
3, 2005. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days 
for public comment to be submitted directly to OMB.
    Proposed Collection: Title: 0917-0026, ``Final Rule to Implement 
Title V of the Tribal Self-Governance Amendments of 2000''. Type of 
Information Collection Request: Extension, without revision, of 
currently approved information collection, 0917-0026, ``Final Rule to 
Implement Title V of the Tribal Self-Governance Amendments of 2000''. 
Form Number: None. Forms: None. Need and Use of Information Collection: 
The ``Tribal Self-Governance Amendments of 2000'', Public Law 106-206 
(the act), repeals Title III of the Indian Self-Determination Act, 
Public Law 93-638, as amended, (ISDA) and enacts Title V that 
established a permanent Self-Governance program within DHHS. Thus 
Indian and Alaska Native Tribes are now able to compact for the 
operation, control, and redesign of various IHS activities on a 
permanent basis. The final rule has been negotiated among 
representatives of Self-Governance and non-Self-Governance Tribes and 
the DHHS. The final rule included provision governing how DHHS/IHS 
carries out its responsibility to Indian Tribes under the Act and how 
Indian Tribes carry out their responsibilities under the Act. As 
required by section 517(b) of the Act, the Department has developed 
this final rule with active Tribal participation of Indian Tribes, 
inter-Tribal consortia, Tribal organizations and individual Tribal 
members, using the guidance of the Negotiated Rulemaking Act, 5 U.S.C. 
561 et seq. Health status reporting requirements will be negotiated on 
an individual Tribal basis and included in individual compacts of 
funding agreements. Response to the data collection continues to be 
voluntary; however, submission of the data is essential to 
participation in the Tribal Self-Governance process. Self-Governance 
Tribes have the option of participating in the Tribal Self-Governance 
process. Self-Governance Tribes have the option of participating in a 
voluntary national uniform data collection effort with the IHS. The 
department is seeking continued OMB approval of the collection of 
information identified in the following sections of the regulations: 
Subpart C-Selection of Tribes for Participation in Self-Governance, 
Subpart D and E-Compact and Funding Agreement, Subpart N-Construction 
Projects, and Subpart P-Appeals. Affected Public: Individual Tribes. 
Type of Respondents: Tribal Representatives.
