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

Medical Devices: Humanitarian Use Devices--21 CFR Part 814 (OMB Control 
Number 0910-0332)--Extension

    This collection of information implements the humanitarian use 
device (HUD) provision of section 520(m) of the Federal Food, Drug, and 
Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 360j(m)) and subpart H, part 814 (21 
CFR part 814). Under section 520(m) of the act, FDA is authorized to 
exempt a HUD from the effectiveness requirements of sections 514 and 
515 of the act (21 U.S.C. 360d and 360e) provided that the device: (1) 
Is used to treat or diagnose a disease or condition that affects fewer 
than 4,000 individuals in the United States; (2) would not be

[[Page 76358]]

available to a person with such a disease or condition unless an 
exemption is granted, because there is no comparable device other than 
another HUD approved under this exemption that is available to treat or 
diagnose the disease or condition; and (3) will not expose patients to 
an unreasonable or significant risk of illness or injury with the 
probable benefit to health from using the device outweighing the risk 
of injury or illness from its use. This takes into account the probable 
risks and benefits of currently available devices or alternative forms 
of treatment.
    The information collected will assist FDA in making determinations 
on the following: (1) Whether to grant HUD designation of a medical 
device; (2) exempt a HUD from the effectiveness requirements under 
sections 514 and 515 of the act, provided that the device meets 
requirements set forth under section 520(m) of the act; and (3) whether 
to grant marketing approval(s) for the HUD. Failure to collect this 
information would prevent FDA from making a determination on the 
factors listed previously in this document. Further, the collected 
information would also enable FDA to determine whether the holder of a 
HUD is in compliance with the HUD provisions under section 520(m) of 
the act.
    In the Federal Register of October 1, 2008 (73 FR 57108), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the information 
collection provisions. No comments were received.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
