Download as PDF 60762 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 190 / Friday, October 1, 2010 / Notices The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the Web site location where it will post a list of guidance documents the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) is considering for development. In addition, FDA has established a docket where stakeholders may provide comments and/or draft language for those topics as well as suggestions for new or different guidances. DATES: Submit either written or electronic comments at any time. ADDRESSES: Submit written comments to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA–305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852. Submit electronic comments to https:// www.regulations.gov. Identify comments with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nancy Pirt, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. WO66, rm. 4438, Silver Spring, MD 20993, 301–796–5739. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: I. Background During negotiations over the reauthorization of the Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act (MDUFMA), FDA agreed, in return for additional funding from industry, to meet a variety of quantitative and qualitative goals intended to help get safe and effective medical devices to market more quickly. These commitments include annually posting a list of guidance documents that CDRH is considering for development and providing stakeholders an opportunity to provide comments and/or draft language for those topics, or suggestions for new or different guidances. This notice announces the Web site location of the list of guidances on which CDRH is intending to work over the next Fiscal Year (FY). We note that the agency is not required to issue every guidance on the list, nor is it precluded from issuing guidance documents that are not on the list. The list includes topics that currently have no guidance associated with them, topics where updated guidance may be helpful, and topics for which CDRH has already issued level 1 drafts that may be finalized following review of public comments. We will consider stakeholder comments as we prioritize our guidance efforts. FDA and CDRH priorities are subject to change at any time. Topics on this and past guidance priority lists may be removed or modified based on current VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:34 Sep 30, 2010 Jkt 220001 priorities. We also note that CDRH’s experience over the years has shown that there are many reasons CDRH staff does not complete the entire annual agenda of guidances it undertakes. Staff are frequently diverted from guidance development to other activities, including review of premarket submissions or postmarket problems. In addition, the Center is required each year to issue a number of guidances that it cannot anticipate at the time the annual list is generated. These may involve newly identified public health issues as well as special control guidance documents for de novo classifications of devices. It will be helpful, therefore, to receive comments that indicate the relative priority of different guidance topics to interested stakeholders. Through feedback from stakeholders, including draft language for guidance documents, CDRH expects to be able to better prioritize and more efficiently draft guidances that will be useful to industry and other stakeholders. This will be the fourth annual list CDRH has posted. FDA intends to update the list each year. FDA invites interested persons to submit comments on any or all of the guidance documents on the list. FDA has established a docket where comments about the FY 2011 list, draft language for guidance documents on those topics, and suggestions for new or different guidances may be submitted (see ADDRESSES). FDA believes this docket is an important tool for receiving information from interested parties and for sharing this information with the public. Similar information about planned guidance development is included in the annual agency-wide notice issued by FDA under its good guidance practices (21 CFR 10.115(f)(5)). This CDRH list, however, will be focused exclusively on device-related guidances and will be made available on FDA’s Web site prior to the beginning of each FY from 2008 to 2012. To access the list of the guidance documents CDRH is considering for development in FY 2011, visit the FDA Web site https://www.fda.gov/Medical Devices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/ Overview/MedicalDeviceUserFee andModernizationActMDUFMA/ ucm109196.htm. II. Request for Comments Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES) either electronic or written comments regarding this document. It is only necessary to send one set of comments. It is no longer necessary to send two copies of mailed comments.
