OMB No.: 0970–0386. Description: The Office of Community Services (OCS) will continue collecting key information about projects funded through the Community Economic Development (CED) program. The legislative requirement for this program is in Title IV of the Community Opportunities, Accountability and Training and Educational Services Act (COATS Human Services Reauthorization Act) of October 27, 1998, Public Law 105–285, section 680(b) as amended. The reporting format, Performance Progress Report (PPR), collects information concerning the outcomes and management of CED projects. OCS will use the data to critically review the overall design and effectiveness of the program. The PPR will continue to be administered to all active grantees of the CED program. Grantees will be required to use this reporting tool for their semiannual reports to be submitted twice a year. The current PPR replaced both the annual questionnaire and other semiannual reporting formats, which resulted in an overall reduction in burden for the grantees while significantly improving the quality of the data collected by OCS. OCS seeks to renew this PPR to continue to collect quality data from grantees. To ensure the burden on grantees is not increased, all questions on the current PPR will remain the same—we propose adding only one question to the PPR regarding the total number of jobs grantees are creating with grant funds. Many grantees have asked about this element on the current PPR and currently do not have a place to report that information. This is information that most grantees are already collecting. Adding this field will allow grantees to provide this information in a consistent format and allow OCS to more accurately reflect the total number of jobs created through the CED program. Since grantees are already familiar with the current format and elements, and all questions on the PPR will remain the same (with one added question based on grantee feedback), there will be no additional burden on grantees. Respondents: Current CED grantees.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Medical Devices; Pediatric Uses of Devices; Requirement for Submission of Information on Pediatric Subpopulations That Suffer From a Disease or Condition That a Device Is Intended To Treat, Diagnose, or Cure— (OMB Control Number 0910—New) The draft guidance suggests that applicants who submit certain medical device applications include, if readily available, pediatric use information for diseases or conditions that the device is being used to treat, diagnose, or cure that are outside the device’s approved or proposed indications for use, as well as an estimate of the number of pediatric patients with such diseases or conditions. The information submitted will allow FDA to identify pediatric uses of devices outside their approved or proposed indication for use in order to determine areas where further pediatric device development could be useful. This recommendation applies to applicants who submit the following applications: 1. Any request for a humanitarian device exemption submitted under section 520(m) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360j(m)); 2. Any premarket approval application (PMA) or supplement to a 76151 PMA submitted under section 515 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360e); 3. Any product development protocol submitted under section 515 of the FD&C Act. In the Federal Register of February 19, 2013, (78 FR 11654), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. However, only one comment was interpreted as being related to the proposed collection of information. One comment stated that FDA should not require all readily available information on pediatric uses of devices because it is unduly burdensome, but rather applicants should be required to perform a reasonable search. FDA disagrees with the comment. In order for FDA to be provided useful, comprehensive information and to fulfill the statutory mandate, all readily available information should be submitted to FDA. Moreover, the requirement is not unduly burdensome because FDA is only requiring all information that is readily available, not all information in general. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN 1 Description Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent Total annual responses Average burden per response Total hours Uses outside approved indication ........................................ 148 1 148 0.5 74 pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

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.

Medical Devices; Pediatric Uses of Devices; Requirement for Submission 
of Information on Pediatric Subpopulations That Suffer From a Disease 
or Condition That a Device Is Intended To Treat, Diagnose, or Cure--
(OMB Control Number 0910--New)

    The draft guidance suggests that applicants who submit certain 
medical device applications include, if readily available, pediatric 
use information for diseases or conditions that the device is being 
used to treat, diagnose, or cure that are outside the device's approved 
or proposed indications for use, as well as an estimate of the number 
of pediatric patients with such diseases or conditions. The information 
submitted will allow FDA to identify pediatric uses of devices outside 
their approved or proposed indication for use in order to determine 
areas where further pediatric device development could be useful. This 
recommendation applies to applicants who submit the following 
applications:
    1. Any request for a humanitarian device exemption submitted under 
section 520(m) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C 
Act) (21 U.S.C. 360j(m));
    2. Any premarket approval application (PMA) or supplement to a PMA 
submitted under section 515 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360e);
    3. Any product development protocol submitted under section 515 of 
the FD&C Act.
    In the Federal Register of February 19, 2013, (78 FR 11654), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. However, only one comment was interpreted as 
being related to the proposed collection of information.
    One comment stated that FDA should not require all readily 
available information on pediatric uses of devices because it is unduly 
burdensome, but rather applicants should be required to perform a 
reasonable search. FDA disagrees with the comment. In order for FDA to 
be provided useful, comprehensive information and to fulfill the 
statutory mandate, all readily available information should be 
submitted to FDA. Moreover, the requirement is not unduly burdensome 
because FDA is only requiring all information that is readily 
available, not all information in general.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

    Respondents are permitted to submit information relating to uses of 
the device outside the approved or proposed indication if such uses are 
described or acknowledged in acceptable sources of readily available 
information. We estimate that 20 percent of respondents submitting 
information required by section 515A of the FD&C Act will choose to 
submit this information and that it will take 30 minutes for them to do 
so.
    This draft guidance also refers to previously approved collections 
of information found in FDA regulations. The collections of information 
in part 814 (21 CFR part 814), subpart B have been approved under OMB 
control number 0910-0231, and the collections of information in part 
814, subpart H have been approved under OMB control number 0910-0332.
