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 guidance entitled ‘‘Determination of Intended Use for 510(k) Devices; Guidance for CDRH Staff (Update to K98–1),’’ available at https:// www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Device RegulationandGuidance/Guidance Documents/ucm082162.htm, December 3, 2003. 11.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: 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 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 on-line 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.
