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.
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:

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

information technology.
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 §§ 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 § 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 follows:

Explanation of Reporting Burden
Estimate: The burden captured in table

available in FDA’s internal tracking
system. Sections 822.26, 822.27, and
822.34 do not constitute information
collection subject to review under the
PRA because it entails ‘‘no burden other
than that necessary to identify the
respondent, the date, the respondent’s
address, and the nature of the
instrument’’ (5 CFR 1320.3(h)(1)).

are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.
Explanation of Recordkeeping Burden
Estimate: FDA expects that at least some
of the manufacturers will be able to
satisfy the PS requirement using
information or data they already have.
For purposes of calculating burden,
however, FDA has assumed that each PS
order can only be satisfied by a 3-year
clinically-based surveillance plan, using
three investigators. These estimates are
based on FDA’s knowledge and
experience with postmarket
surveillance.
