Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid® (caBIG®) Support Service Provider (SSP) Program (NCI), 24889-24890 [2011-10666]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 85 / Tuesday, May 3, 2011 / Notices Web site for guidance documents with current enforcement policies related to premarket requirements for tobacco products (https://www.fda.gov/ TobaccoProducts/default.htm)). With regard to the comment that the number of section 905(j)(1)(A)(i) substantial equivalence reports which FDA estimated to be submitted (150 per year) was too low, FDA has revised its estimate based on information it now has from initial submissions, interactions with industry, and other information, such as the comment received on the 60-day notice on the information collection. As shown 24889 able to refine these estimates. In addition, as discussed previously, the commenter did not suggest an alternative number of hours. FDA’s estimate of 360 hours reflects an amount of time that should provide each submitter enough time to prepare and submit a section 905(j)(1)(A)(i) substantial equivalence report to the Agency. below, FDA is increasing the annual estimate of the number of reports received from 150 to 1,000. With regard to the comment that the number of hours to prepare and submit each report is unrealistic, FDA continues to believe that the currently estimated hours (360 hours annually) is appropriate, particularly given that the premarket requirements for new tobacco products (Section 910 of the FD&C Act) are new and manufacturers’ experience with preparing a submission is just beginning to develop. As the requirements and program become more familiar to respondents, FDA may be Estimation of Burden FDA estimates the burden for this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN 1 FD&C Act sections Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent Total annual responses Average burden per response (in hours) 905(j)(a)(A)(i) and 910(a) ..................................................... Total .............................................................................. 1,000 ........................ 1 ........................ 1,000 ........................ 360 ........................ 1 There 360,000 360,000 are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. FDA has based these estimates on information it now has available from interactions with the industry, comments regarding the submission of 905(j)(1)(A)(i) substantial equivalence reports, and comments on the 60-day information collection notice request for comments published in the Federal Register on January 24, 2011 (76 FR 4116). Table 1 of this document describes the annual reporting burden as a result of the implementation of the substantial equivalence requirements of sections 905(j)(1)(A)(i) and 910(a) of the FD&C Act. FDA estimates that it will receive 1,000 section 905(j) substantial equivalence reports each year and that it will take a manufacturer approximately 360 hours to prepare a report of substantial equivalence for a new tobacco product. Therefore, FDA estimates the burden for submission of substantial equivalence information will be 360,000 hours. Dated: April 27, 2011. Leslie Kux, Acting Assistant Commissioner for Policy.
