This document applies to all products that fall within the definition of a medical device that appears within the GHTF document SG1/N29:2005 entitled ‘‘Information Document Concerning the Definition of the Term ‘Medical Device,’’’ including those used for the in vitro examination of specimens derived from the human body. The new guidance is intended to supersede the previous version of the guidance. Study Group 2 was initially tasked with the responsibility of developing guidance documents that will be used for the exchange of adverse event reports. As a result of its efforts, this group has developed proposed documents SG2(PD)/N54R6:2005, SG2(PD)/N57R6:2005, and SG2(PD)/ N79R5:2005 and final document SG2/ N38R14:2005. SG2/(PD)/N54R6:2005 (proposed document) entitled ‘‘Post Market Surveillance: Global Guidance for Adverse Event Reporting for Medical Devices’’ provides guidance on the type of adverse events associated with medical devices that should be reported by manufacturers to a National Competent Authority (NCA). SG2(PD)/ N57R6:2005 (proposed document) entitled ‘‘Medical Devices: Post Market Surveillance: Content of Field Safety Notices’’ identifies elements that should be included in safety related notifications issued by the medical device manufacturer. SG2/(PD)/ N79R5:2005 (proposed document) entitled ‘‘Medical Devices: Post Market Surveillance: National Competent Authority Report Exchange Criteria and Report Form’’ provides guidance, procedures, and forms for the exchange of reports concerning the safety of medical devices between NCA and other participants of the GHTF National Competent Authority Report (NCAR) exchange program. SG2/N38R15:2005 (final document) entitled ‘‘Application Requirements for Participation in the GHTF National Competent Authority Report Exchange Program’’ describes the prerequisites and commitments required from an organization before it can participate in the NCAR exchange program founded by GHTF SG2. Study Group 3 was initially tasked with the responsibility of developing guidance documents on quality systems. As a result of its efforts, this group has developed final document SG3/ N15R8:2005. SG3/N15R8:2005 (final document) entitled ‘‘Implementation of Risk Management Principles and Activities within a Quality Management VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:26 Jan 24, 2006 Jkt 208001 System’’ is intended to assist medical device manufacturers with the integration of a risk management system or risk management principles and activities into their existing quality management system by providing practical explanations and examples. This document assumes a basic understanding of quality management system requirements and a basic knowledge of quality management system terminology. Study Group 4 was initially tasked with the responsibility of developing guidance documents on quality systems auditing practices. As a result of its efforts, this group has developed document SG4(PD)/N30R16:2005. SG4(PD)/N30R16:2005 (proposed document) entitled ‘‘Guidelines for Regulatory Auditing of Quality Management Systems of Medical Device Manufacturers—Part 2: Regulatory Auditing Strategy’’ is intended to assist medical device regulators and auditing organizations conducting quality management system audits of medical device manufacturers based on the process approach to quality management system requirements (e.g., ISO 13485:2003 and 21 CFR Part 820). II. Significance of Guidance These documents represent recommendations from the GHTF study groups and do not describe regulatory requirements. FDA is making these documents available so that industry and other members of the public may express their views and opinions. III.

Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

    Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration 
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under 
review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in compliance with 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request 
a copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, call the 
HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301)-443-1129.
    The following request has been submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995:

Proposed Project: Maternal and Child Health Bureau Performance Measures 
for Discretionary Grants (OMB No. 0915-0272)

    The Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) intends to continue to 
collect performance data for Special Projects of Regional and National 
Significance (SPRANS), Community Integrated Service Systems (CISS), and 
other grant programs administered by MCHB.
    The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) proposes to 
continue using reporting requirements for SPRANS projects, CISS 
projects, and other grant programs administered by MCHB, including 
national performance measures, previously approved by OMB, and in 
accordance with the ``Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of

measurable goals for Federal Programs that can be reported as part of 
the budgetary process, thus linking funding decisions with performance. 
Performance measures for MCHB discretionary grants were initially 
approved in January 2003. Approval from OMB is being sought to continue 
the use of these measures. The number of measures has been reduced with 
the transfer of a program to the Administration for Children and 
Families. The remaining performance measures are unchanged from those 
approved in 2003. Some of these measures are specific to certain types 
of programs, and will not apply to all grantees. Furthermore, these 
measures are based primarily on existing data, thereby minimizing the 
response burden consistent with program administration and management 
needs.
    The estimated response burden is as follows:
