10. Under section 513(i)(1)(E)(i) of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act,
when determining that a device is
substantially equivalent to a predicate
device, FDA may require limitations in
device labeling about off-label use of the
device when ‘‘there is a reasonable
likelihood’’ of such use, and if ‘‘such use
could cause harm.’’ Such determinations
are made on a case by case basis and
other requirements must be met,
including a consultation between FDA
and the 510(k) submitter, before such
limitations can be required. FDA’s policy
on when a device may be found
‘‘substantially equivalent with
limitations’’ is discussed further in the

Indian Health Service
Proposed Information Collection;
Request for Public Comment: Indian
Health Service Loan Repayment
Program (LRP)
Indian Health Service, HHS.
Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
In compliance with Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, which requires
30 days for public comment on
proposed information collection
projects, the Indian Health Service (IHS)
has submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) a
request to review and approve the
information collection listed below.
This proposed information collection
project was previously published in the
Federal Register (77 FR 11558) on
February 27, 2012 and allowed 60 days
for public comment. No public
comment was received in response to
the notice. The purpose of this notice is
to allow 30 days for public comment to
be submitted directly to OMB.
Proposed Collection: Title: 0917–
0014, ‘‘Indian Health Service Loan
Repayment Program.’’ Type of
Information Collection Request:
Revision of currently approved
information collection, 0917–0014,
‘‘Indian Health Service Loan Repayment
Program.’’ The LRP application has been
revised so that it is now available in an
electronically fillable and fileable
SUMMARY:
format. Form(s): The IHS LRP
Information Booklet contains the
instructions and the application
formats. Need and Use of Information
Collection: The IHS LRP identifies
health professionals with pre-existing
financial obligations for education
expenses that meet program criteria and
who are qualified and willing to serve
at, often remote, IHS health care
facilities. Under the program, eligible
health professionals sign a contract
through which the IHS agrees to repay
part or all of their indebtedness for
professional training time in IHS health
care facilities. This program is necessary
to augment the critically low health
professional staff at IHS health care
facilities.
Any health professional wishing to
have their health education loans repaid
may apply to the IHS LRP. A two-year
contract obligation is signed by both
parties, and the individual agrees to
work at an IHS location and provide
health services to American Indian and
Alaska Native individuals.
The information collected via the online application from individuals is
analyzed and a score is given to each
applicant. This score will determine
which applicants will be awarded each
fiscal year. The administrative scoring
system assigns a score to the geographic
location according to vacancy rates for
that fiscal year and also considers
whether the location is in an isolated
area. When an applicant accepts
employment at a location, they in turn
‘‘pick-up’’ the score of that location.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households. Type of Respondents:
Individuals.
The table below provides: Types of
data collection instruments, Estimated
number of respondents, Number of
responses per respondent, Annual
number of responses, Average burden
hour per response, and Total annual
burden hour(s).
