DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Food and Drug Administration [Docket No. FDA–2008–N–0637] Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for Office of Management and Budget Review; Comment Request; Financial Disclosure by Clinical Investigators AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS. ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing that a proposed collection of information has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. DATES: Fax written comments on the collection of information by May 22, 2009. ADDRESSES: To ensure that comments on the information collection are received, OMB recommends that written comments be faxed to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, OMB, Attn: FDA Desk Officer, FAX: 202–395–6974, or e-mailed to oira_submission@omb.eop.gov. All Financial Disclosure by Clinical Investigators—(OMB Control Number 0910–0396)—Extension Respondents are sponsors of marketing applications that contain clinical data from studies covered by the regulations. These sponsors represent pharmaceutical, biologic, and medical device firms. The applicant will incur reporting costs in order to comply with the final rule. Applicants will be required to submit, for example, the complete list of clinical investigators for each covered study, not employed by the applicant and/or sponsor of the covered study, and either certify to the absence of certain financial arrangements with clinical investigators or disclose the nature of those arrangements to FDA and the steps taken by the applicant or sponsor to minimize the potential for bias. The clinical investigator will have to supply information regarding financial interests or payments held in the sponsor of the covered study. In the Federal Register of December 29, 2008 (73 FR 79493), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the information collection provisions. Two comments were received, one comment expressed support for this information collection. The second comment raised several issues, first, the issue of the current cost the commenter incurs in the collection of Financial Disclosure and the estimate of substantial operating costs the commenter incurs in operating costs to support the collection of investigator financial information. FDA appreciates the comment and based on this new data, submitted by the commenter, will undertake a new evaluation whether there are capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. FDA also appreciates the comment concerning the definition of ‘‘clinical investigator’’ and will forward the comment to the FDA office responsible for this collection of information to consider in any future rulemaking. However, these definitions are codified in 21 CFR 54.2. FDA also appreciates the comment regarding the use of Form FDA 1572 to minimize burden. However, 21 CFR 54.4 requires the use of Form FDA 3454 and Form FDA 3455. This comment will also be forwarded to the FDA office responsible for this collection of information to consider in any future rulemaking. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1.—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN1 No. of Respondents 21 CFR Section 54.4(a)(1) and (a)(2)—Form FDA 3454 Total Annual Responses Hours per Response 1 1,000 5 5,000 100 1 100 20 2,000 46,000 54.4(b) .25 11,500 1 11,500 Total 1There Total Hours 1,000 54.4(a)(3)—Form FDA 3455 dwashington3 on PROD1PC60 with NOTICES Annual Frequency per Response 18,500 are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

Currently, sponsors of covered studies must maintain many records with regard to clinical investigators, including protocol agreements and investigator resumes or curriculum vitae.

complete records of compensation agreements with any compensation paid
