In compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of
1995, the FTC is seeking public
comments on its request to OMB for a
three-year extension of the current PRA
clearance for the information collection
requirements contained in the Contact
Lens Rule. That clearance expires on
July 31, 2013 (OMB Control No. 3084–
0127).
DATES: Comments must be received by
August 22, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties may file a
comment online or on paper, by
following the instructions in the
Request for Comment part of the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section
below.
SUMMARY:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for additional information or
copies of the proposed information
requirements should be addressed to
Alysa S. Bernstein, Attorney, or Bonnie
McGregor, Federal Trade Investigator,
Division of Advertising Practices,
Bureau of Consumer Protection, Federal
Trade Commission, 600 Pennsylvania

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Contact Lens Rule (Rule), 16
CFR Part 315.
OMB Control Number: 3084–0127.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: The FTC promulgated the
Rule pursuant to the Fairness to Contact
Lens Consumers Act (FCLCA), Public
Law 108–164 (Dec. 6, 2003), which was
enacted to enable consumers to
purchase contact lenses from the seller
of their choice. The Rule became
effective on August 2, 2004. As
mandated by the FCLCA, the Rule
requires the release and verification of
contact lens prescriptions and contains
recordkeeping requirements applying to

23JYN1
ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 141 / Tuesday, July 23, 2013 / Notices
both prescribers and sellers of contact
lenses.
Specifically, the Rule requires that
prescribers provide a copy of the
prescription to the consumer upon
completion of a contact lens fitting and
verify or provide prescriptions to
authorized third parties. The Rule also
mandates that a contact lens seller may
sell contact lenses only in accordance
with a prescription that the seller either:
(a) Has received from the patient or
prescriber; or (b) has verified through
direct communication with the
prescriber. In addition, the Rule
imposes recordkeeping requirements on
contact lens prescribers and sellers. For
example, the Rule requires prescribers
to document in their patients’ records
the medical reasons for setting a contact
lens prescription expiration date of less
than one year. The Rule requires contact
lens sellers to maintain for three years
records of all direct communications
involved in obtaining verification of a
contact lens prescription, as well as
prescriptions, or copies thereof, that
they receive directly from customers or
prescribers.
The information retained under the
Rule’s recordkeeping requirements is
used by the Commission to determine
compliance with the Rule and may also
provide a basis for the Commission to
bring an enforcement action. Without
the required records, it would be
difficult either to ensure that entities are
complying with the Rule’s requirements
or to bring enforcement actions for Rule
violations.
On February 8, 2013, the Commission
sought comment on the Rule’s
information collection requirements.1
One comment was received, from the
American Optometric Association
(‘‘AOA’’). That comment stated that the
majority of the information collected by
the FTC is accurate, but it provided
alternate figures for some data,
expressed disfavor of passive
verification, and sought more effective
enforcement of the Rule. Data provided
by the AOA is reflected in updated
burden estimates set out below and are
addressed in more detail within the
Agency’s ‘‘Supporting Statement for
Information Collection Provisions of the
Contact Lens Rule,’’ which is available
upon request from the FTC contact
officials and separately at
www.reginfo.gov.
As required by OMB regulations, 5
CFR Part 1320, the FTC is providing this
second opportunity for public comment.
Likely Respondents: Contact lens
prescribers and contact lens sellers.

ACTION:
Section 30.18 of the Department of
Health and Human Services’ claims
collection regulations (45 CFR Part 30)
provides that the Secretary shall charge
an annual rate of interest, which is
determined and fixed by the Secretary
of the Treasury after considering private
consumer rates of interest on the date
that the Department of Health and
Human Services becomes entitled to
recovery. The rate cannot be lower than
the Department of Treasury’s current
value of funds rate or the applicable rate
determined from the ‘‘Schedule of
Certified Interest Rates with Range of
Maturities’’ unless the Secretary waives
interest in whole or part, or a different
rate is prescribed by statute, contract, or
repayment agreement. The Secretary of
the Treasury may revise this rate
quarterly. The Department of Health and
Human Services publishes this rate in
the Federal Register.
The current rate of 103⁄8% as fixed by
the Secretary of the Treasury, is certified
for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.
This rate is based on the Interest Rates
for Specific Legislation, ‘‘National
Health Services Corps Scholarship
Program (42 U.S.C. 254o(b)) and
‘‘National Research Service Award
Program (42 U.S.C. 288(c)(4)(B)).’’ This
interest rate will be applied to overdue
debt until the Department of Health and

Format and Content Requirements for
OTC Drug Product Labeling—(OMB
Control Number 0910–0340)—Extension
In the Federal Register of March 17,
1999 (64 FR 13254) (the 1999 labeling
final rule), we amended our regulations
governing requirements for human drug
products to establish standardized
format and content requirements for the
labeling of all marketed OTC drug
products in part 201 (21 CFR Part 201).
The regulations in part 201 require OTC
drug product labeling to include
uniform headings and subheadings,
presented in a standardized order, with
minimum standards for type size and
other graphical features. Specifically,
the 1999 labeling final rule added new
§ 201.66 to part 201. Section 201.66 sets
content and format requirements for the
Drug Facts portion of labels on OTC
drug products.
On June 20, 2000 (65 FR 38191), we
published a Federal Register final rule
that required all OTC drug products
marketed under the OTC monograph
system to comply with the labeling
requirements in § 201.66 by May 16,
2005, or sooner (65 FR 38191 at 38193).
Currently marketed OTC drug products
are already required to be in compliance
with these labeling requirements, and
thus will incur no further burden to
comply with Drug Facts labeling
requirements in § 201.66. Modifications
of labeling already required to be in
Drug Facts format are usual and
customary as part of routine redesign
practice, and thus do not create

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995,
the FTC is seeking public comments on its request to OMB for a three-
year extension of the current PRA clearance for the information
collection requirements contained in the Contact Lens Rule. That
clearance expires on July 31, 2013 (OMB Control No. 3084-0127).
DATES: Comments must be received by August 22, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties may file a comment online or on paper, by
following the instructions in the Request for Comment part of the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or
copies of the proposed information requirements should be addressed to
Alysa S. Bernstein, Attorney, or Bonnie McGregor, Federal Trade
Investigator, Division of Advertising Practices, Bureau of Consumer
Protection, Federal Trade Commission, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW.,

(McGregor).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Contact Lens Rule (Rule), 16 CFR Part 315.
OMB Control Number: 3084-0127.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: The FTC promulgated the Rule pursuant to the Fairness to
Contact Lens Consumers Act (FCLCA), Public Law 108-164 (Dec. 6, 2003),
which was enacted to enable consumers to purchase contact lenses from
the seller of their choice. The Rule became effective on August 2,
2004. As mandated by the FCLCA, the Rule requires the release and
verification of contact lens prescriptions and contains recordkeeping
requirements applying to
[[Page 44123]]
both prescribers and sellers of contact lenses.
Specifically, the Rule requires that prescribers provide a copy of
the prescription to the consumer upon completion of a contact lens
fitting and verify or provide prescriptions to authorized third
parties. The Rule also mandates that a contact lens seller may sell
contact lenses only in accordance with a prescription that the seller
either: (a) Has received from the patient or prescriber; or (b) has
verified through direct communication with the prescriber. In addition,
the Rule imposes recordkeeping requirements on contact lens prescribers
and sellers. For example, the Rule requires prescribers to document in
their patients' records the medical reasons for setting a contact lens
prescription expiration date of less than one year. The Rule requires
contact lens sellers to maintain for three years records of all direct
communications involved in obtaining verification of a contact lens
prescription, as well as prescriptions, or copies thereof, that they
receive directly from customers or prescribers.
The information retained under the Rule's recordkeeping
requirements is used by the Commission to determine compliance with the
Rule and may also provide a basis for the Commission to bring an
enforcement action. Without the required records, it would be difficult
either to ensure that entities are complying with the Rule's
requirements or to bring enforcement actions for Rule violations.
On February 8, 2013, the Commission sought comment on the Rule's
information collection requirements.\1\ One comment was received, from
the American Optometric Association (``AOA''). That comment stated that
the majority of the information collected by the FTC is accurate, but
it provided alternate figures for some data, expressed disfavor of
passive verification, and sought more effective enforcement of the
Rule. Data provided by the AOA is reflected in updated burden estimates
set out below and are addressed in more detail within the Agency's

Contact Lens Rule,'' which is available upon request from the FTC
contact officials and separately at www.reginfo.gov.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See 78 FR 9391.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As required by OMB regulations, 5 CFR Part 1320, the FTC is
providing this second opportunity for public comment.
Likely Respondents: Contact lens prescribers and contact lens
sellers.
Estimated Annual Hours Burden: 1,594,981 hours (derived from
685,514 hours + 909,467 hours).
Contact Lens Prescribers: 633,333 hours (38 million contact
lens wearers x 1 minute per prescription/60 minutes) + 52,181 hours
(1,043,613 wearers x 3 minutes/60 minutes) = 685,514 hours
Contact Lens Sellers: 852,625 hours (10,231,500 wearers x
5 minutes/60 minutes) + 56,842 hours (3,410,500 wearers x 1 minute/60
minutes) = 909,467 hours).
Estimated Annual Cost Burden: $48,991,000 (rounded to the nearest
thousand), which is derived from ($52.80 x 685,514 hours) + ($14.07 x
909,467 hours) = $48,991,340.\2\

comment--including your name and your state--will be placed on the
public record of this proceeding, including, to the extent practicable,
on the public Commission Web site, at https://www.ftc.gov/os/publiccomments.shtm. As a matter of discretion, the Commission tries to
remove individuals' home contact information from comments before
placing them on the Commission Web site.
Because your comment will be made public, you are solely
responsible for making sure that your comment does not include any
sensitive personal information, such as anyone's Social Security
number, date of birth, driver's license number or other state
identification number or foreign country equivalent, passport number,
financial account number, or credit or debit card number. You are also
solely responsible for making sure that your comment does not include
any sensitive health information, like medical records or other
individually identifiable health information. In addition, do not
include any ``[t]rade secret or any commercial or financial information
which is . . . privileged or confidential,'' as discussed in Section
6(f) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 46(f), and FTC Rule 4.10(a)(2), 16 CFR
4.10(a)(2). In particular, do not include competitively sensitive
information such as costs, sales statistics, inventories, formulas,
patterns, devices, manufacturing processes, or customer names.
If you want the Commission to give your comment confidential
treatment, you must file it in paper form, with a request for
confidential treatment, and you are required to follow the procedure
explained in FTC Rule 4.9(c), 16 CFR 4.9(c). Your comment will be kept
confidential only if the FTC General Counsel, in his or her sole
discretion, grants your request in accordance with the law and the
public interest.
