ACTION: Notice. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing that a proposed collection of information has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance under SUMMARY: 68787 Act. FDA plans to request safety labeling changes by sending a notification letter to the application holder. Under section 505(o)(4)(B) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 355(o)(4)(B)), the application holder must respond to FDA’s notification by submitting a labeling supplement or notifying FDA that the applicant does not believe the labeling change is warranted and submitting a statement detailing the reasons why the application holder does not believe a change is warranted (a rebuttal statement). The submission of rebuttal statements may result in the collection of information that is not already approved by OMB. Based on FDA’s experience thus far with safety labeling changes requirements under section 505(o)(4) of the FD&C Act, FDA estimates that approximately six application holders will elect to submit approximately one rebuttal statement each year and that each rebuttal statement will take approximately 6 hours to prepare. In addition, in the draft guidance, the Agency states that new labeling prepared in response to a safety labeling change notification should be available on the application holder’s Web site within 10 calendar days of approval, which may result in the collection of information that is not already approved by OMB. FDA estimates that approximately 197 application holders will post new labeling one time each year in response to a safety labeling change notification and that the posting of the labeling will take approximately 4 hours to prepare. In the Federal Register of April 13, 2011 (76 FR 20686), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the draft version of this guidance. None of the comments we received pertained to the information collection provisions. FDA estimates the burden of the collections of information that have not already been approved by OMB is as follows: the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the PRA). DATES: Fax written comments on the collection of information by December 17, 2012. ADDRESSES: To ensure that comments on the information collection are received, OMB recommends that written comments be faxed to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, OMB, Attn: FDA Desk Officer, FAX: 202–395–7285, or emailed to oira_submission@omb.eop.gov.

Agenda: On December 10, 2012, the committee will discuss current knowledge about the safety and effectiveness of the CoAxia NeuroFlo Catheter device for the intended use of diverting cardiac output to the cerebral vasculature via partial occlusion of the descending aorta, including in patients with acute ischemic stroke within 14 hours of symptom onset. The CoAxia NeuroFlo Catheter is a 7F multilumen device with two balloons mounted near the distal tip. The proximal end has a multiport manifold that provides access for the guidewire, monitoring of blood pressure, and independent inflation of the individual balloons. The device is placed in the descending aorta. On March 30, 2005, a humanitarian device exemption application for the CoAxia NeuroFlo Catheter was approved for the following indication for use: The CoAxia NeuroFlo Catheter is intended for the treatment of cerebral ischemia resulting from symptomatic vasospasm following aneurismal subarachnoid hemorrhage, PO 00000 Frm 00058 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 secured by either surgical or endovascular intervention for patients who have failed maximal medical management. Of note, the CoAxia NeuroFlo Catheter is identical in design to the CoAxia FloControl, which is currently cleared for the following general indications for use: 1. The CoAxia FloControl Catheter is intended for use in selectively stopping or controlling flow in the peripheral vasculature (K023914). 2. The CoAxia FloControl Catheter is intended for use in selectively stopping or controlling flow in the peripheral vasculature, which includes the descending aorta (K090970). CoAxia has submitted a de novo application for the NeuroFlo for the following indication: The CoAxia NeuroFlo Catheter is intended for use in diversion of cardiac output via partial occlusion of the descending aorta, including patients with acute ischemic stroke within 14 hours of symptom onset. The CoAxia NeuroFlo Catheter is also intended for use in selectively stopping or controlling blood flow in the peripheral vasculature, which includes the descending aorta. FDA is convening this committee to seek expert scientific and clinical opinion on the risks and benefits of this device based on the available premarket and postmarket data. In particular, the committee will be asked to discuss the safety and effectiveness data from the ‘‘Safety and Efficacy of NeuroFlo Technology in Ischemic Stroke’’ (SENTIS) clinical trial as they relate to the proposed indications for use. FDA intends to make background material available to the public no later than 2 business days before the meeting. If FDA is unable to post the background material on its Web site prior to the meeting, the background material will be made publicly available at the location of the advisory committee meeting, and the background material will be posted on FDA’s Web site after the meeting. Background material is available at https://www.fda.gov/ AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/ default.htm. Scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting link. E:\FR\FM\16NON1.SGM 16NON1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has 
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for 
review and clearance.

Draft Guidance for Industry on Safety Labeling Changes; Implementation 
of Section 505(o)(4) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act--(OMB 
Control Number 0910-New)

    This draft guidance provides information on the implementation of 
section 901 of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007, 
which authorizes FDA to require certain drug and biological product 
application holders to make safety related labeling changes based upon 
new safety information that becomes available after the drug or 
biological product is approved under the Federal Food, Drug, and 
Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) or the Public Health Service Act. FDA plans 
to request safety labeling changes by sending a notification letter to 
the application holder. Under section 505(o)(4)(B) of the FD&C Act (21 
U.S.C. 355(o)(4)(B)), the application holder must respond to FDA's 
notification by submitting a labeling supplement or notifying FDA that 
the applicant does not believe the labeling change is warranted and 
submitting a statement detailing the reasons why the application holder 
does not believe a change is warranted (a rebuttal statement).
    The submission of rebuttal statements may result in the collection 
of information that is not already approved by OMB. Based on FDA's 
experience thus far with safety labeling changes requirements under 
section 505(o)(4) of the FD&C Act, FDA estimates that approximately six 
application holders will elect to submit approximately one rebuttal 
statement each year and that each rebuttal statement will take 
approximately 6 hours to prepare.
    In addition, in the draft guidance, the Agency states that new 
labeling prepared in response to a safety labeling change notification 
should be available on the application holder's Web site within 10 
calendar days of approval, which may result in the collection of 
information that is not already approved by OMB. FDA estimates that 
approximately 197 application holders will post new labeling one time 
each year in response to a safety labeling change notification and that 
the posting of the labeling will take approximately 4 hours to prepare.
    In the Federal Register of April 13, 2011 (76 FR 20686), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the draft 
version of this guidance. None of the comments we received pertained to 
the information collection provisions.
    FDA estimates the burden of the collections of information that 
have not already been approved by OMB is as follows:
