The burden estimate for the electronic reporting of adverse events is based on the number of facilities currently participating in MedSun (400). FDA estimates an average of 15 reports per site annually. This estimate is based on MedSun working to promote reporting in general from the sites, as well as promoting reporting from specific parts of the hospitals, such as the pediatric intensive care units, electrophysiology laboratories, and the hospital laboratories. The burden estimate for the emerging signal portion of MedSun is based on the assumption that not all sites will use this part of the software each time questions are asked, because not all sites will use the device in question.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth Berbakos, Office of Information Management, Food and Drug Administration, 1350 Piccard Dr., PI50–400B, Rockville, MD 20850, 301– 796–3792, Elizabeth.Berbakos@fda.hhs.gov. 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. Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products: Establishment Registration and Listing; Form FDA 3356; Eligibility Determination for Donors; and Current Good Tissue Practice—(OMB Control Number 0910– 0543)—Extension Under section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (the PHS Act) (42 U.S.C. 264), FDA may issue and enforce regulations necessary to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases between the States or possessions or from foreign countries into the States. As derivatives of the human body, all human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/Ps) pose some risk of carrying pathogens that could potentially infect recipients or handlers. FDA has issued regulations related to HCT/Ps involving establishment registration and listing using Form FDA 3356, eligibility determination for donors, and current good tissue practice (CGTP). A. Establishment Registration and Listing; Form FDA 3356 The regulations in part 1271 (21 CFR part 1271) require domestic and foreign establishments that recover, process, store, label, package, or distribute an HCT/P described in § 1271.10(a), or that perform screening or testing of the cell or tissue donor to register with FDA (§ 1271.10(b)(1)) and submit a list of each HCT/P manufactured (§ 1271.10(b)). Section 1271.21(a) requires an establishment to follow certain procedures for initial registration and listing of HCT/Ps, and § 1271.25(a) and (b) identifies the required initial registration and HCT/P listing information. Section 1271.21(b), in brief, requires an annual update of the establishment registration. Section 1271.21(c)(ii) requires establishments to submit PO 00000 Frm 00045 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 39537 HCT/P listing updates when an HCT/P is changed as described in § 1271.25(c). Section 1271.25(c) identifies the required HCT/P listing update information. Section 1271.26 requires establishments to submit an amendment if ownership or location of the establishment changes. FDA requires the use of a registration and listing form (Form FDA 3356: Establishment Registration and Listing for Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and TissueBased Products (HCT/Ps)) to submit the required information (§§ 1271.10, 1271.21, 1271.25, and 1271.26). To further facilitate the ease and speed of submissions, electronic submission is accepted (https://www.fda.gov/Biologics BloodVaccines/GuidanceCompliance RegulatoryInformation/Establishment Registration/TissueEstablishment Registration/default.htm). B. Eligibility Determination for Donors In brief, FDA requires certain HCT/P establishments described in § 1271.1(b) to determine donor eligibility based on donor screening and testing for relevant communicable diseases agents and diseases, except as provided under § 1271.90. The documented determination of a donor’s eligibility is made by a responsible person defined in § 1271.3(t) and is based on the results of required donor screening, which includes a donor medical history interview (defined in § 1271.3(n)) and testing (§ 1271.50(a)). Certain records must accompany an HCT/P once the donor-eligibility determination has been made (§ 1271.55(a)). This requirement applies both to an HCT/P from a donor who is determined to be eligible as well as to an HCT/P from a donor who is determined to be ineligible or where the donor-eligibility determination is not complete if there is a documented urgent medical need (§ 1271.60). Once the donor-eligibility determination has been made, the HCT/P must be accompanied by a summary of records used to make the donor-eligibility determination (§ 1271.55(b)) and a statement whether, based on the results of the screening and testing, the donor is determined to be eligible or ineligible (§ 1271.55(a)(2)). Records used in determining the eligibility of a donor, i.e., results and interpretations of testing for relevant communicable disease agents, the donor-eligibility determination, the name and address of the testing laboratory or laboratories, and the name of the responsible person (defined in § 1271.3(t)) who made the donoreligibility determination and the date of the determination, must be maintained (§ 1271.55(d)(1)). If any information on E:\FR\FM\09JYN1.SGM 09JYN1 39538 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 131 / Friday, July 9, 2010 / Notices wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with NOTICES_PART 1 the donor is not in English, the original record must be retained and translated to English and accompanied by a statement of authenticity from the translator (§ 1271.55(d)(2)). HCT/P establishments must retain the records pertaining to HCT/Ps at least 10 years after the date of administration, distribution, disposition, or expiration, whichever is latest (§ 1271.55(d)(4)). When a product is shipped in quarantine as defined in § 1271.3(q), before completion of screening and testing, the HCT/P must be accompanied by records identifying the donor; stating that the donor-eligibility determination has not been completed; and stating that the product must not be used until the donor-eligibility determination has been completed (§ 1271.60(c)). When an HCT/P is used in cases of documented urgent medical need, the results of any completed donor screening and testing, and a list of any required screening and testing not yet completed also must accompany the HCT/P (§ 1271.60(d)(2)). When an HCT/P is used in cases of urgent medical need or from a donor who has been determined to be ineligible (as permitted under § 1271.65), documentation by the HCT/P establishment is required showing that the recipient’s physician received notification that the testing and screening were not complete (in cases of urgent medical need), and upon the completion of the donor-eligibility determination, of the results of the determination (§ 1271.60(d)(3) and (d)(4) and § 1271.65(b)(3)). An HCT/P establishment is also required to establish and maintain procedures for all steps that are performed in determining eligibility (§ 1271.47(a)), including the use of a product from a donor testing reactive for cytomegalovirus (§ 1271.85(b)(2)). The HCT/P establishment must record any departure from the procedures (§ 1271.47(d)). C. Current Good Tissue Practice (CGTP) FDA requires certain HCT/P establishments to follow CGTP (§ 1271.1(b)). Section 1271.155(a) permits the submission of a request for FDA approval of an exemption from or alternative to any requirement in subpart C or D of part 1271. Section 1271.290(c) requires such establishments to affix a distinct identification code to each HCT/P that it manufactures that relates the HCT/P to the donor and to all records pertaining to the HCT/P. Whenever an establishment distributes an HCT/P to a consignee, § 1271.290(f) requires the establishment to inform the consignee, VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:17 Jul 08, 2010 Jkt 220001 in writing, of the product tracking requirements and the methods the establishment uses to fulfill the requirements. Non-reproductive HCT/P establishments described in § 1271.10 are required under § 1271.350(a)(1) and (a)(3) to investigate and report to FDA adverse reactions (defined in § 1271.3(y)) using Form FDA–3500A (§ 1271.350(a)(2)). Form FDA–3500A is approved under OMB control no. 0910– 0291. Section 1271.370(b) and (c) requires establishments to include specific information either on the HCT/P label or with the HCT/P. The standard operating procedures (SOP) provisions under part 1271 include the following: (1) Section 1271.160(b)(2) (receiving, investigation, evaluating, and documenting information relating to core CGTP requirements, including complaints, and for sharing information with consignees and other establishments); (2) § 1271.180(a) (to meet core CGTP requirements for all steps performed in the manufacture of HCT/Ps); (3) § 1271.190(d)(1) (facility cleaning and sanitization); (4) § 1271.200(b) (cleaning, sanitizing, and maintenance of equipment); (5) § 1271.200(c) (calibration of equipment); (6) § 1271.230(a) and (c) (validation of changes to a process); (7) § 1271.250(a) (controls for labeling HCT/Ps); (8) § 1271.265(e) (receipt, predistribution shipment, availability for distribution, and packaging and shipping of HCT/Ps); (9) § 1271.265(f) (suitable for return to inventory); (10) § 1271.270(b) (records management system); (11) § 1271.290(b)(1) (system of HCT/P tracking); and (12) § 1271.320(a) (review, evaluation, and documentation of complaints (as defined in § 1271.3(aa))). Section 1271.155(f) requires an establishment operating under the terms of an exemption or alternative to maintain documentation of the terms and date of FDA approval. Section 1271.160(b)(3) requires documentation of appropriate corrective actions taken as a result of an audit of the quality program. Section 1271.160(b)(6) requires documentation of HCT/P deviations. Section 1271.160(d) requires documentation of computer validation or verification activities and results when computers are used to comply with the core CGTP requirements for its intended use. Section 1271.190(d)(2) requires documentation of all facility cleaning and sanitation activities performed to prevent contamination of HCT/Ps. Section 1271.195(d) requires documentation of environmental control and monitoring activities. Section 1271.200(e) requires documentation of PO 00000 Frm 00046 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 equipment maintenance, cleaning, sanitizing, calibration, and other activities. Section 1271.210(d) requires documentation of the receipt, verification, and use of each supply or reagent. Section 1271.230(a) requires documentation of validation activities when the results of a process cannot be fully verified by subsequent inspection and tests. Section 1271.230(c) requires documentation of the review and evaluation of a process and revalidation of the process, if necessary, when any changes to a validated process occur. Section 1271.260(d) and (e) requires documentation of any corrective action taken when proper storage conditions are not met and documentation of storage temperatures for HCT/Ps. Section 1271.265(c)(1) requires documentation that release criteria have been met before distribution of an HCT/P. Section 1271.265(c)(3) requires documentation of any departure from a procedure at the time of its occurrence. Section 1271.265(e) requires documentation of the receipt, predistribution shipment, distribution, and packaging and shipping of HCT/Ps. Section 1271.270(a) requires documentation of each step in manufacturing required in part 1271, subparts C and D. Section 1271.270(e) requires documentation of the name and address, and a list of responsibilities of any establishment that performs a manufacturing step for an establishment. Section 1271.290(d) and (e) require documentation of a method for recording the distinct identification code and type of each HCT/P distributed to a consignee to enable tracking from the consignee to the donor and to enable tracking from the donor to the consignee or final disposition. Section 1271.320(b) requires an establishment to maintain a record of each complaint that it receives, that contains relevant information for proper review and evaluation. Respondents to this information collection are establishments that recover, process, store, label, package, or distribute any HCT/P, or perform donor screening or testing. The estimates provided below are based on the most recent available information from FDA’s database system and trade organizations. The hours per response and hours per record are based on data provided by the Eastern Research Group, or FDA experience with similar recordkeeping or reporting requirements. There are an estimated 2,281 HCT/P establishments (conventional tissue, eye tissue, peripheral blood stem cell, stem cell products from cord blood, reproductive tissue, and sperm banks), E:\FR\FM\09JYN1.SGM 09JYN1 39539 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 131 / Friday, July 9, 2010 / Notices including 692 manufacturers of HCT/P products regulated under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act and section 351 of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 262), that have registered and listed with FDA. In addition, we estimate that 251 new establishments have registered with FDA (§ 1271.10(b)(1) and (b)(2) and § 1271.25(a) and (b)). There are an estimated 2,230 listing updates (§§ 1271.10(b)(2), 1271.21(c)(ii), and 1271.25(c)) and 565 location/ownership amendments (§ 1271.26). Under § 1271.55(a), an estimated total of 2,167,396 HCT/Ps (which include conventional tissues, eye tissues, hematopoetic stem cells/progenitor cells, and reproductive cells and tissues) and an estimated total of 2,026,024 nonreproductive cells and tissues (total HCT/Ps minus reproductive cells and tissues) are distributed per year by an estimated 1,589 establishments (2,281 692 = 1,589 establishments with approved applications). Under § 1271.60(c) and (d)(2), FDA estimates that 1,375 establishments shipped an estimated 286,000 HCT/Ps under quarantine, and that an estimated 18 establishments requested an exemption from or alternative to any requirement under part 1271, subpart C or D, specifically under § 1271.155(a). Under § 1271.290(c) and § 1271.370(b) and (c), an estimated 1,694 non- reproductive HCT/P establishments label each of their 2,026,024 HCT/Ps with certain information. These establishments are also required to inform their consignees in writing of the requirements for tracking and of their established tracking system under § 1271.290(f). FDA estimates 38 HCT/P establishments submitted 76 adverse reaction reports involving a communicable disease (§ 1271.350(a)(1)). FDA estimates that 251 new establishments will create SOPs, and that 2,281 establishments will review and revise existing SOPs annually. FDA estimates that 1,141 HCT/P establishments (2,281 x 50% = 1,141) and 847 non-reproductive HCT/P establishments (1,694 x 50% = 847) record and justify a departure from the procedures (§§ 1271.47(d) and 1271.265(c)(3)). Under § 1271.50(a), HCT/P establishments are required to have a documented medical history interview about the donor’s medical history and relevant social behavior as part of the donor’s relevant medical records for each of the estimated total of 91,240 donors (which include conventional tissue donors, eye tissue donors, peripheral and cord blood stem cell donors, and reproductive cell and tissue donors), and the estimated total of 86,394 non-reproductive cells and tissue donors (total donors minus reproductive cell and tissue donors). FDA estimates that 684 HCT/P establishments (2,281 x 30% = 684) document an urgent medical need for an HCT/P and notify the physician using the HCT/P (§ 1271.60(d)(3) and (d)(4) and § 1271.65(b)(3)(iii)). FDA also estimates that 1,824 HCT/P establishments (2,281 x 80% = 1,824) have to maintain records for an average of 2 contract establishments that perform a manufacturing process step for them (§ 1271.270(e)) and 1,141 HCT/P establishments maintain an average of 5 complaint records annually (§ 1271.320(b)). In some cases, the estimated burden may appear to be lower or higher than the burden experienced by individual establishments. The estimated burden in these charts is an estimated average burden, taking into account the range of impact each regulation may have. In the Federal Register of March 11, 2010 (75 FR 11545) FDA published a 60day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. No comments were received on the information collection.

In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Focus Groups About Drug Products, As Used By the Food and Drug Administration—(OMB Control Number 0910–New) Focus groups provide an important role in gathering information because they allow for a more indepth understanding of individuals’ attitudes, beliefs, motivations, and feelings than do quantitative studies. Focus groups serve the narrowly defined need for direct and informal opinion on a specific topic and as a qualitative research tool have three major purposes: • To obtain information that is useful for developing variables and measures for quantitative studies, • To better understand people’s attitudes and emotions in response to topics and concepts, and • To further explore findings obtained from quantitative studies. FDA will use focus group findings to test and refine its ideas and to help develop messages and other communications, but will generally conduct further research before making important decisions such as adopting new policies and allocating or redirecting significant resources to support these policies. FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Office of the Commissioner, and any other Centers or Offices conducting focus groups about regulated drug products may need to conduct focus groups on a variety of subjects related to consumer, patient, or healthcare professional perceptions and use of drug products and related materials, including but not limited to, direct-to-consumer prescription drug promotion, physician labeling of prescription drugs, Medication Guides, over-the-counter drug labeling, emerging risk communications, patient labeling, online sales of medical products, and consumer and professional education. In the Federal Register of March 22, 2010, (75 FR 13548), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. No comments were received on the information collection.

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.

Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products: 
Establishment Registration and Listing; Form FDA 3356; Eligibility 
Determination for Donors; and Current Good Tissue Practice--(OMB 
Control Number 0910-0543)--Extension

    Under section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (the PHS Act) 
(42 U.S.C. 264), FDA may issue and enforce regulations necessary to 
prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable 
diseases between the States or possessions or from foreign countries 
into the States. As derivatives of the human body, all human cells, 
tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT[sol]Ps) pose some 
risk of carrying pathogens that could potentially infect recipients or 
handlers. FDA has issued regulations related to HCT[sol]Ps involving 
establishment registration and listing using Form FDA 3356, eligibility 
determination for donors, and current good tissue practice (CGTP).

A. Establishment Registration and Listing; Form FDA 3356

    The regulations in part 1271 (21 CFR part 1271) require domestic 
and foreign establishments that recover, process, store, label, 
package, or distribute an HCT[sol]P described in Sec.  1271.10(a), or 
that perform screening or testing of the cell or tissue donor to 
register with FDA (Sec.  1271.10(b)(1)) and submit a list of each 
HCT[sol]P manufactured (Sec.  1271.10(b)). Section 1271.21(a) requires 
an establishment to follow certain procedures for initial registration 
and listing of HCT[sol]Ps, and Sec.  1271.25(a) and (b) identifies the 
required initial registration and HCT[sol]P listing information.
    Section 1271.21(b), in brief, requires an annual update of the 
establishment registration. Section 1271.21(c)(ii) requires 
establishments to submit HCT[sol]P listing updates when an HCT[sol]P is 
changed as described in Sec.  1271.25(c). Section 1271.25(c) identifies 
the required HCT[sol]P listing update information. Section 1271.26 
requires establishments to submit an amendment if ownership or location 
of the establishment changes. FDA requires the use of a registration 
and listing form (Form FDA 3356: Establishment Registration and Listing 
for Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products 
(HCT[sol]Ps)) to submit the required information (Sec. Sec.  1271.10, 
1271.21, 1271.25, and 1271.26). To further facilitate the ease and 
speed of submissions, electronic submission is accepted (https://www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVaccines/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/EstablishmentRegistration/TissueEstablishmentRegistration/default.htm).

B. Eligibility Determination for Donors

    In brief, FDA requires certain HCT[sol]P establishments described 
in Sec.  1271.1(b) to determine donor eligibility based on donor 
screening and testing for relevant communicable diseases agents and 
diseases, except as provided under Sec.  1271.90. The documented 
determination of a donor's eligibility is made by a responsible person 
defined in Sec.  1271.3(t) and is based on the results of required 
donor screening, which includes a donor medical history interview 
(defined in Sec.  1271.3(n)) and testing (Sec.  1271.50(a)). Certain 
records must accompany an HCT[sol]P once the donor-eligibility 
determination has been made (Sec.  1271.55(a)). This requirement 
applies both to an HCT[sol]P from a donor who is determined to be 
eligible as well as to an HCT[sol]P from a donor who is determined to 
be ineligible or where the donor-eligibility determination is not 
complete if there is a documented urgent medical need (Sec.  1271.60). 
Once the donor-eligibility determination has been made, the HCT[sol]P 
must be accompanied by a summary of records used to make the donor-
eligibility determination (Sec.  1271.55(b)) and a statement whether, 
based on the results of the screening and testing, the donor is 
determined to be eligible or ineligible (Sec.  1271.55(a)(2)).
    Records used in determining the eligibility of a donor, i.e., 
results and interpretations of testing for relevant communicable 
disease agents, the donor-eligibility determination, the name and 
address of the testing laboratory or laboratories, and the name of the 
responsible person (defined in Sec.  1271.3(t)) who made the donor-
eligibility determination and the date of the determination, must be 
maintained (Sec.  1271.55(d)(1)). If any information on

[[Page 39538]]

the donor is not in English, the original record must be retained and 
translated to English and accompanied by a statement of authenticity 
from the translator (Sec.  1271.55(d)(2)). HCT[sol]P establishments 
must retain the records pertaining to HCT[sol]Ps at least 10 years 
after the date of administration, distribution, disposition, or 
expiration, whichever is latest (Sec.  1271.55(d)(4)).
    When a product is shipped in quarantine as defined in Sec.  
1271.3(q), before completion of screening and testing, the HCT[sol]P 
must be accompanied by records identifying the donor; stating that the 
donor-eligibility determination has not been completed; and stating 
that the product must not be used until the donor-eligibility 
determination has been completed (Sec.  1271.60(c)). When an HCT[sol]P 
is used in cases of documented urgent medical need, the results of any 
completed donor screening and testing, and a list of any required 
screening and testing not yet completed also must accompany the 
HCT[sol]P (Sec.  1271.60(d)(2)). When an HCT[sol]P is used in cases of 
urgent medical need or from a donor who has been determined to be 
ineligible (as permitted under Sec.  1271.65), documentation by the 
HCT[sol]P establishment is required showing that the recipient's 
physician received notification that the testing and screening were not 
complete (in cases of urgent medical need), and upon the completion of 
the donor-eligibility determination, of the results of the 
determination (Sec.  1271.60(d)(3) and (d)(4) and Sec.  1271.65(b)(3)).
    An HCT[sol]P establishment is also required to establish and 
maintain procedures for all steps that are performed in determining 
eligibility (Sec.  1271.47(a)), including the use of a product from a 
donor testing reactive for cytomegalovirus (Sec.  1271.85(b)(2)). The 
HCT[sol]P establishment must record any departure from the procedures 
(Sec.  1271.47(d)).

C. Current Good Tissue Practice (CGTP)

    FDA requires certain HCT[sol]P establishments to follow CGTP (Sec.  
1271.1(b)). Section 1271.155(a) permits the submission of a request for 
FDA approval of an exemption from or alternative to any requirement in 
subpart C or D of part 1271. Section 1271.290(c) requires such 
establishments to affix a distinct identification code to each 
HCT[sol]P that it manufactures that relates the HCT[sol]P to the donor 
and to all records pertaining to the HCT[sol]P. Whenever an 
establishment distributes an HCT[sol]P to a consignee, Sec.  
1271.290(f) requires the establishment to inform the consignee, in 
writing, of the product tracking requirements and the methods the 
establishment uses to fulfill the requirements. Non-reproductive 
HCT[sol]P establishments described in Sec.  1271.10 are required under 
Sec.  1271.350(a)(1) and (a)(3) to investigate and report to FDA 
adverse reactions (defined in Sec.  1271.3(y)) using Form FDA-3500A 
(Sec.  1271.350(a)(2)). Form FDA-3500A is approved under OMB control 
no. 0910-0291. Section 1271.370(b) and (c) requires establishments to 
include specific information either on the HCT[sol]P label or with the 
HCT[sol]P.
    The standard operating procedures (SOP) provisions under part 1271 
include the following: (1) Section 1271.160(b)(2) (receiving, 
investigation, evaluating, and documenting information relating to core 
CGTP requirements, including complaints, and for sharing information 
with consignees and other establishments); (2) Sec.  1271.180(a) (to 
meet core CGTP requirements for all steps performed in the manufacture 
of HCT[sol]Ps); (3) Sec.  1271.190(d)(1) (facility cleaning and 
sanitization); (4) Sec.  1271.200(b) (cleaning, sanitizing, and 
maintenance of equipment); (5) Sec.  1271.200(c) (calibration of 
equipment); (6) Sec.  1271.230(a) and (c) (validation of changes to a 
process); (7) Sec.  1271.250(a) (controls for labeling HCT[sol]Ps); (8) 
Sec.  1271.265(e) (receipt, predistribution shipment, availability for 
distribution, and packaging and shipping of HCT[sol]Ps); (9) Sec.  
1271.265(f) (suitable for return to inventory); (10) Sec.  1271.270(b) 
(records management system); (11) Sec.  1271.290(b)(1) (system of 
HCT[sol]P tracking); and (12) Sec.  1271.320(a) (review, evaluation, 
and documentation of complaints (as defined in Sec.  1271.3(aa))).
    Section 1271.155(f) requires an establishment operating under the 
terms of an exemption or alternative to maintain documentation of the 
terms and date of FDA approval. Section 1271.160(b)(3) requires 
documentation of appropriate corrective actions taken as a result of an 
audit of the quality program. Section 1271.160(b)(6) requires 
documentation of HCT[sol]P deviations. Section 1271.160(d) requires 
documentation of computer validation or verification activities and 
results when computers are used to comply with the core CGTP 
requirements for its intended use. Section 1271.190(d)(2) requires 
documentation of all facility cleaning and sanitation activities 
performed to prevent contamination of HCT[sol]Ps. Section 1271.195(d) 
requires documentation of environmental control and monitoring 
activities. Section 1271.200(e) requires documentation of equipment 
maintenance, cleaning, sanitizing, calibration, and other activities. 
Section 1271.210(d) requires documentation of the receipt, 
verification, and use of each supply or reagent. Section 1271.230(a) 
requires documentation of validation activities when the results of a 
process cannot be fully verified by subsequent inspection and tests. 
Section 1271.230(c) requires documentation of the review and evaluation 
of a process and revalidation of the process, if necessary, when any 
changes to a validated process occur. Section 1271.260(d) and (e) 
requires documentation of any corrective action taken when proper 
storage conditions are not met and documentation of storage 
temperatures for HCT[sol]Ps. Section 1271.265(c)(1) requires 
documentation that release criteria have been met before distribution 
of an HCT[sol]P. Section 1271.265(c)(3) requires documentation of any 
departure from a procedure at the time of its occurrence. Section 
1271.265(e) requires documentation of the receipt, predistribution 
shipment, distribution, and packaging and shipping of HCT[sol]Ps. 
Section 1271.270(a) requires documentation of each step in 
manufacturing required in part 1271, subparts C and D. Section 
1271.270(e) requires documentation of the name and address, and a list 
of responsibilities of any establishment that performs a manufacturing 
step for an establishment. Section 1271.290(d) and (e) require 
documentation of a method for recording the distinct identification 
code and type of each HCT[sol]P distributed to a consignee to enable 
tracking from the consignee to the donor and to enable tracking from 
the donor to the consignee or final disposition. Section 1271.320(b) 
requires an establishment to maintain a record of each complaint that 
it receives, that contains relevant information for proper review and 
evaluation.
    Respondents to this information collection are establishments that 
recover, process, store, label, package, or distribute any HCT[sol]P, 
or perform donor screening or testing. The estimates provided below are 
based on the most recent available information from FDA's database 
system and trade organizations. The hours per response and hours per 
record are based on data provided by the Eastern Research Group, or FDA 
experience with similar recordkeeping or reporting requirements.
    There are an estimated 2,281 HCT[sol]P establishments (conventional 
tissue, eye tissue, peripheral blood stem cell, stem cell products from 
cord blood, reproductive tissue, and sperm banks),

[[Page 39539]]

including 692 manufacturers of HCT[sol]P products regulated under the 
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act and section 351 of the PHS Act 
(42 U.S.C. 262), that have registered and listed with FDA. In addition, 
we estimate that 251 new establishments have registered with FDA (Sec.  
1271.10(b)(1) and (b)(2) and Sec.  1271.25(a) and (b)). There are an 
estimated 2,230 listing updates (Sec. Sec.  1271.10(b)(2), 
1271.21(c)(ii), and 1271.25(c)) and 565 location/ownership amendments 
(Sec.  1271.26).
    Under Sec.  1271.55(a), an estimated total of 2,167,396 HCT[sol]Ps 
(which include conventional tissues, eye tissues, hematopoetic stem 
cells/progenitor cells, and reproductive cells and tissues) and an 
estimated total of 2,026,024 non-reproductive cells and tissues (total 
HCT[sol]Ps minus reproductive cells and tissues) are distributed per 
year by an estimated 1,589 establishments (2,281 - 692 = 1,589 
establishments with approved applications).
    Under Sec.  1271.60(c) and (d)(2), FDA estimates that 1,375 
establishments shipped an estimated 286,000 HCT[sol]Ps under 
quarantine, and that an estimated 18 establishments requested an 
exemption from or alternative to any requirement under part 1271, 
subpart C or D, specifically under Sec.  1271.155(a).
    Under Sec.  1271.290(c) and Sec.  1271.370(b) and (c), an estimated 
1,694 non-reproductive HCT[sol]P establishments label each of their 
2,026,024 HCT[sol]Ps with certain information. These establishments are 
also required to inform their consignees in writing of the requirements 
for tracking and of their established tracking system under Sec.  
1271.290(f).
    FDA estimates 38 HCT[sol]P establishments submitted 76 adverse 
reaction reports involving a communicable disease (Sec.  
1271.350(a)(1)).
    FDA estimates that 251 new establishments will create SOPs, and 
that 2,281 establishments will review and revise existing SOPs 
annually.
    FDA estimates that 1,141 HCT[sol]P establishments (2,281 x 50% = 
1,141) and 847 non-reproductive HCT[sol]P establishments (1,694 x 50% = 
847) record and justify a departure from the procedures (Sec. Sec.  
1271.47(d) and 1271.265(c)(3)).
    Under Sec.  1271.50(a), HCT[sol]P establishments are required to 
have a documented medical history interview about the donor's medical 
history and relevant social behavior as part of the donor's relevant 
medical records for each of the estimated total of 91,240 donors (which 
include conventional tissue donors, eye tissue donors, peripheral and 
cord blood stem cell donors, and reproductive cell and tissue donors), 
and the estimated total of 86,394 non-reproductive cells and tissue 
donors (total donors minus reproductive cell and tissue donors).
    FDA estimates that 684 HCT[sol]P establishments (2,281 x 30% = 684) 
document an urgent medical need for an HCT[sol]P and notify the 
physician using the HCT[sol]P (Sec.  1271.60(d)(3) and (d)(4) and Sec.  
1271.65(b)(3)(iii)).
    FDA also estimates that 1,824 HCT[sol]P establishments (2,281 x 80% 
= 1,824) have to maintain records for an average of 2 contract 
establishments that perform a manufacturing process step for them 
(Sec.  1271.270(e)) and 1,141 HCT[sol]P establishments maintain an 
average of 5 complaint records annually (Sec.  1271.320(b)).
    In some cases, the estimated burden may appear to be lower or 
higher than the burden experienced by individual establishments. The 
estimated burden in these charts is an estimated average burden, taking 
into account the range of impact each regulation may have.
    In the Federal Register of March 11, 2010 (75 FR 11545) FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. No comments were received on the information 
collection.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
