Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501– 3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. ‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information set forth in this document. With respect to the following collection of information, FDA invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA’s functions, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information technology. Title: User Fees and Refunds for Premarket Approval Applications. Description: Section 738 of the act requires the payment of user fees for devices subject to premarket approval (PMA) under section 515 of the act (21 U.S.C. 360e). Section 738(j) of the act allows for refunds of these fees in certain circumstances. This draft guidance document describes requirements associated with user fees and FDA’s recommendation for the kind of information to include in a request for a refund. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1.—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN1 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act No. of Respondents 738(j) 1There Annual Frequency per Response 17 Total Annual Responses 1 Hours per Response 17 Total Hours 0.5 9 are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. The industry-wide burden estimate is based on an FDA actual average fiscal year (FY) annual rate of receipt of 17 refund requests, using FY 2005 through 2007 data. This draft guidance also refers to previously approved collections of information found in FDA regulations. The collections of information in 21 CFR part 814, subparts B and E have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0231. Dated: March 4, 2009. Daniel G.
