A person submitting information must identify the information for which it claims business proprietary treatment by enclosing the information within single brackets. The submitting person must provide with the information an explanation of why each item of bracketed information is entitled to business proprietary treatment. A person submitting a request for business proprietary treatment also must include an agreement to permit disclosure under an administrative protective order, unless the submitting party claims that there is a clear and compelling need to withhold the information from disclosure under an administrative protective order. (2) Information claimed to be exempt from disclosure under administrative protective order. (i) If the submitting person claims that there is a clear and compelling need to withhold certain information from disclosure under an administrative protective order (see paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section), the submitting person must identify the information by enclosing the information within double brackets, and must include a full explanation of the reasons for the claim. (ii) In an investigation, the submitting person may enclose business VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:46 Jul 27, 2010 Jkt 220001 proprietary customer names within double brackets (see paragraph (a)(1)(iii) of this section). (iii) The submitting person may exclude the information in double brackets from the Business Proprietary/ APO Version of the submission served on authorized applicants. See § 351.303 for filing and service requirements. (c) Public version. (1) A person filing a submission that contains information for which business proprietary treatment is claimed must file a public version of the submission. The public version must be filed on the first business day after the filing deadline for the business proprietary document (see § 351.303(b)). The public version must contain a summary of the bracketed information in sufficient detail to permit a reasonable understanding of the substance of the information. If the submitting person claims that summarization is not possible, the claim must be accompanied by a full explanation of the reasons supporting that claim. Generally, numerical data will be considered adequately summarized if grouped or presented in terms of indices or figures within 10 percent of the actual figure. If an individual portion of the numerical data is voluminous, at least one percent representative of that portion must be summarized. A submitter should not create a public summary of business proprietary information of another person. (2) If a submitting party discovers that it has failed to bracket information correctly, the submitter may file a complete, corrected business proprietary document along with the public version (see § 351.303(b)). At the close of business on the day on which the public version of a submission is due under paragraph (c)(2) of this section, however, the bracketing of business proprietary information in the original business proprietary document or, if a corrected version is timely filed, the corrected business proprietary document will become final. Once bracketing has become final, the Secretary will not accept any further corrections to the bracketing of information in a submission, and the Secretary will treat non-bracketed information as public information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In the Federal Register of April 5, 2010 (75 FR 17093), FDA 
published a proposed rule to amend certain neurological device and 
physical medicine device regulations to establish special controls for 
these class II devices and to exempt some of these devices from the 
premarket notification requirements of the Federal Food, Drug, and 
Cosmetic Act. Interested persons were given until July 6, 2010, to 
comment on the proposed rule.

II. Request for Comments

    Following publication of the April 5, 2010, proposed rule, FDA 
received requests to allow interested persons additional time to 
comment. The requests asserted that the 90-day time period was 
insufficient to respond fully to FDA's specific requests for comments 
and to allow potential respondents to thoroughly evaluate and address 
pertinent issues. The agency has considered the requests and is 
reopening the comment period until September 7, 2010. The agency 
believes the additional comment period allows adequate time for 
interested persons to submit comments without significantly delaying 
rulemaking on these important issues.
