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. Substances Prohibited From Use in Animal Food or Feed; Animal Proteins Prohibited in Ruminant Feed-21 CFR 589.2000(e)(1)(iv)—(OMB Control Number 0910–0339)—Extension This information collection was established because epidemiological evidence gathered in the United Kingdom suggested that bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), a progressively degenerative central nervous system disease, is spread to ruminant animals by feeding protein derived from ruminants infected with BSE. This regulation places general requirements on persons that manufacture, blend, process, and distribute products that contain or may contain protein derived from mammalian tissue, and feeds made from such products. Specifically, this regulation requires renderers, feed manufacturers, and others involved in feed and feed ingredient manufacturing and distribution to maintain written procedures specifying the cleanout procedures or other means, and specifying the procedures for separating products that contain or may contain protein derived from mammalian tissue from all other protein products from the time of receipt until the time of shipment. These written procedures are intended to help the firm formalize their processes, and then to help inspection personnel confirm that the firm is operating in compliance with the regulation. Inspection personnel will evaluate the written procedure, and confirm it is being followed when they are conducting an inspection. These written procedures must be maintained as long as the facility is operating in a manner that necessitates the record, and if the facility makes changes to an applicable procedure or process the record must be updated. Written procedures required by this section shall be made available for inspection and copying by the Food and Drug Administration. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL RECORDKEEPING BURDEN 1 Number of recordkeepers 21 CFR Section Maintaining written procedures (§ 589.2000 (e)(1)(iv)) ........ 1 400 Total annual records 1 Average burden per recordkeeping 400 14 Total hours 5600 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

Postmarket Surveillance--21 CFR Part 822 (OMB Control Number 0910-
0449)--Extension

    Section 522 of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 
360l) authorizes the FDA to require a manufacturers to conduct 
postmarket surveillance (PS) of any device that meets the criteria set 
forth in the statute. The PS regulation establishes procedures that FDA 
uses to approve and disapprove PS plans. The regulation provides 
instructions to manufacturers so they know what information is required 
in a PS plan submission. FDA reviews PS plan submissions in accordance 
with part 822 (21 CFR part 822) in Sec. Sec.  822.15 through 822.19 of 
the regulation, which describe the grounds for approving or 
disapproving a PS plan. In addition, the PS regulation provides 
instructions to manufacturers to submit interim and final reports in 
accordance with Sec.  822.38. Respondents to this collection of 
information are those manufacturers who require postmarket surveillance 
of their products.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as

three investigators. These estimates are based on FDA's knowledge and 
experience with postmarket surveillance.
