The regulations provide for inspection by FDA of persons and tissue establishments engaged in the recovery, screening, testing, processing, storage, or distribution of human tissue. These facilities are required to meet provisions intended to ensure appropriate screening and testing of human tissue donors and to ensure that records are kept documenting that the appropriate screening and testing have been completed. Sections 1270.31(a) through (d) (21 CFR 1270.31(a) through (d)) require written procedures to be prepared and followed for the following steps: (1) All significant steps in the infectious disease testing process; (2) all significant steps in obtaining, reviewing, and assessing the relevant medical records of the donor; (3) designating and identifying quarantined tissue; and (4) for prevention of infectious disease contamination or cross-contamination by tissue during processing. Sections 1270.31(a) and (b) also require recording and justification of any deviation from the written procedures. Section 1270.33(a) (21 CFR 1270.33(a)) requires records to be maintained concurrently with the performance of each significant step in the procedures of infectious disease screening and testing of human tissue donors. Section 1270.33(f) requires records to be retained regarding the determination of the suitability of the donors and such records required under § 1270.21 (21 CFR 1270.21). Section 1270.33(h) requires all records be retained at least 10 years beyond the date of transplantation, distribution, disposition, or expiration of the tissue, whichever is the latest.

Substances Prohibited From Use in Animal Food or Feed; Animal Proteins 
Prohibited in Ruminant Feed--21 CFR 589.2000(e)(1)(iv) (OMB Control 
Number 0910-0339)--Extension

    This information collection was established because epidemiological 
evidence gathered in the United Kingdom suggested that bovine 
spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), a progressively degenerative central 
nervous system disease, is spread to ruminant animals by feeding 
protein derived from ruminants infected with BSE. This regulation 
places general requirements on persons that manufacture, blend, 
process, and

distribute products that contain or may contain protein derived from 
mammalian tissue, and feeds made from such products.
    The respondents for this collection of information are 
manufacturers and or distributors of products that contain or may 
contain protein derived from mammalian tissues and feeds made from such 
products.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:
