SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. ‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information set forth in this document. With respect to the following collection of information, FDA invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA’s functions, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information technology. Medical Devices: Humanitarian Use Devices—21 CFR Part 814 (OMB Control Number 0910–0332)—Extension This collection of information implements the HUD provision of section 520(m) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360j(m)) and subpart H, part 814 (21 CFR part 814). Under section 520(m) of the FD&C Act, FDA is authorized to exempt an HUD from the effectiveness requirements of sections 55395 514 and 515 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360d and 360e) provided that the device: (1) Is used to treat or diagnose a disease or condition that affects fewer than 4,000 individuals in the United States; (2) would not be available to a person with such a disease or condition unless an exemption is granted because there is no comparable device other than another HUD approved under this exemption that is available to treat or diagnose the disease or condition; and (3) will not expose patients to an unreasonable or significant risk of illness or injury with the probable benefit to health from using the device outweighing the risk of injury or illness from its use. This takes into account the probable risks and benefits of currently available devices or alternative forms of treatment. The information collected will assist FDA in making determinations on the following: (1) Whether to grant HUD designation of a medical device; (2) exempt an HUD from the effectiveness requirements under sections 514 and 515 of the FD&C Act, provided that the device meets requirements set forth under section 520(m) of the FD&C Act; and (3) whether to grant marketing approval(s) for the HUD. Failure to collect this information would prevent FDA from making a determination on the factors listed previously in this document. Further, the collected information would also enable FDA to determine whether the holder of an HUD is in compliance with the HUD provisions under section 520(m) of the FD&C Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal 
Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. 
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of 
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a 
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) 
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal 
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including 
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, 
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with 
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection 
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA 
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection 
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's 
functions, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when 
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Medical Devices: Humanitarian Use Devices--21 CFR Part 814 (OMB Control 
Number 0910-0332)--Extension

    This collection of information implements the HUD provision of 
section 520(m) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C 
Act) (21 U.S.C. 360j(m)) and subpart H, part 814 (21 CFR part 814). 
Under section 520(m) of the FD&C Act, FDA is authorized to exempt an 
HUD from the effectiveness requirements of sections 514 and 515 of the 
FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360d and 360e) provided that the device: (1) Is 
used to treat or diagnose a disease or condition that affects fewer 
than 4,000 individuals in the United States; (2) would not be available 
to a person with such a disease or condition unless an exemption is 
granted because there is no comparable device other than another HUD 
approved under this exemption that is available to treat or diagnose 
the disease or condition; and (3) will not expose patients to an 
unreasonable or significant risk of illness or injury with the probable 
benefit to health from using the device outweighing the risk of injury 
or illness from its use. This takes into account the probable risks and 
benefits of currently available devices or alternative forms of 
treatment.
    The information collected will assist FDA in making determinations 
on the following: (1) Whether to grant HUD designation of a medical 
device; (2) exempt an HUD from the effectiveness requirements under 
sections 514 and 515 of the FD&C Act, provided that the device meets 
requirements set forth under section 520(m) of the FD&C Act; and (3) 
whether to grant marketing approval(s) for the HUD. Failure to collect 
this information would prevent FDA from making a determination on the 
factors listed previously in this document. Further, the collected 
information would also enable FDA to determine whether the holder of an 
HUD is in compliance with the HUD provisions under section 520(m) of 
the FD&C Act.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:
