Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 125 / Friday, June 27, 2008 / Notices This regulation also refers to previously approved collections of information found in FDA regulations. The collections of information under §§ 800.12(d) and 801.437(i) have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0183; the collections of information under § 800.12(e) have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0231; and the collections of information under § 801.435(g) have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0073. Further, FDA concludes that labeling statements under §§ 801.63; 801.405(b)(2) and (b)(3); 801.420(c)(2) and (c)(3); 801.430(c) and(e)(1); 801.433; 801.437(d) through (g); 809.30(d)(2), (d)(3), and (e) do not constitute a ‘‘collection of information’’ under the PRA. Rather, these labeling statements are ‘‘public disclosure’’ of information originally supplied by the Federal Government to the recipient for the purpose of disclosure to the public’’ (5 CFR 1320.3(c)(2)). jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES Reporting These estimates are based on FDA’s registration and listing database for medical device establishments, agency communications with industry, and FDA’s knowledge of, and experience with device labeling. Recordkeeping These estimates are based on FDA’s registration and listing database for medical device establishments, agency communications with industry, and FDA’s knowledge of and experience with device labeling. In addition, the Vision Council of America provided the growth rate used to estimate the burden under § 801.410(e) and (f). FDA is correcting its recordkeeping burden estimate for § 801.410(e) and (f). In the Federal Register of April 23, 2008, the recordkeeping burden estimate in Table 2 was overestimated as 11,935,028 hours. The corrected recordkeeping burden estimate for this proposed collection is 422,686 hours. The correction for the recordkeeping burden estimate was necessary due to two errors. First, FDA incorrectly gave an estimate of 0.25 hours per recordkeeper for § 801.410(e) and (f). The corrected estimate is 0.0008 hours per recordkeeper. Secondly, FDA inadvertently duplicated the recordkeeping burden for these sections. This regulation also refers to previously approved collections of information found in FDA regulations. The collections of information under §§ 800.12(d) and 801.437(i) have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0183; and the collections of VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:47 Jun 26, 2008 Jkt 214001 information under § 800.12(e) have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0231. The information collection requirements under §§ 801.22, 801.63, 801.405(b)(2) and (b)(3), 801.420(c)(2) and (c)(3), 801.430(c) and (e)(1), 801.433, 801.437(d) through (g); 809.30(d)(2), (d)(3), and (e) are not considered information collection because the public information is originally supplied by the Federal Government to the recipient for the purpose of disclosure to the public (5 CFR 1320.3(c)(2)). We have not estimated a burden for information that is disclosed to third parties, because it is a ‘‘usual and customary’’ part of a medical device manufacturer, distributor, or importer’s normal business activities. Nor have we estimated a burden for time that is spent designing labels to improve the format or presentation. Dated: June 24, 2008. Jeffrey Shuren, Associate Commissioner for Policy and Planning.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Electronic Records; Electronic Signatures—(OMB Control Number 0910–0303)—Extension The FDA regulations in part 11 (21 CFR part 11) provide criteria for acceptance of electronic records, electronic signatures, and handwritten signatures executed to electronic records as equivalent to paper records. Under these regulations, records and reports may be submitted to FDA electronically provided the agency has stated its ability to accept the records electronically in an agency-established public docket and that the other requirements of part 11 are met. The recordkeeping provisions in part 11 (§§ 11.10, 11.30, 11.50, and 11.300) require standard operating procedures to assure appropriate use of, and precautions for, systems using electronic records and signatures; (1) § 11.10 specifies procedures and controls for persons who use closed systems to create, modify, maintain, or transmit electronic records; (2) § 11.30 specifies procedures and controls for persons who use open systems to create, modify, maintain, or transmit electronic records; (3) § 11.50 specifies procedures and controls for persons who use electronic signatures; and (4) § 11.300 specifies controls to ensure the security and integrity of electronic signatures based upon use of identification codes in combination with passwords. The reporting provision (§ 11.100) requires persons to certify in writing to FDA that they will regard electronic signatures used in their systems as the legally binding equivalent of traditional handwritten signatures. The burden created by the information collection provision of this regulation is a one-time burden associated with the creation of standard operating procedures, validation, and certification. The agency anticipates the use of electronic media will substantially reduce the paperwork burden associated with maintaining FDA required records.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth Berbakos, Office of the 
Chief Information Officer (HFA-250), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 
Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301-827-1482.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has 
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for 
review and clearance.

Electronic Records; Electronic Signatures--(OMB Control Number 0910-
0303)--Extension

    The FDA regulations in part 11 (21 CFR part 11) provide criteria 
for acceptance of electronic records, electronic signatures, and 
handwritten signatures executed to electronic records as equivalent to 
paper records. Under these regulations, records and reports may be 
submitted to FDA electronically provided the agency has stated its 
ability to accept the records electronically in an agency-established 
public docket and that the other requirements of part 11 are met.
    The recordkeeping provisions in part 11 (Sec. Sec.  11.10, 11.30, 
11.50, and 11.300) require standard operating procedures to assure 
appropriate use of, and precautions for, systems using electronic 
records and signatures; (1) Sec.  11.10 specifies procedures and 
controls for persons who use closed systems to create, modify, 
maintain, or transmit electronic records; (2) Sec.  11.30 specifies 
procedures and controls for persons who use open systems to create, 
modify, maintain, or transmit electronic records; (3) Sec.  11.50 
specifies procedures and controls for persons who use electronic 
signatures; and (4) Sec.  11.300 specifies controls to ensure the 
security and integrity of electronic signatures based upon use of 
identification codes in combination with passwords. The reporting 
provision (Sec.  11.100) requires persons to certify in writing to FDA 
that they will regard electronic signatures used in their systems as 
the legally binding equivalent of traditional handwritten signatures.
    The burden created by the information collection provision of this 
regulation is a one-time burden associated with the creation of 
standard operating procedures, validation, and certification. The 
agency anticipates the use of electronic media will substantially 
reduce the paperwork burden associated with maintaining FDA required 
records.
