and iontophoresis devices intended for
any other purposes as class III
(premarket approval). The final rule was
issued after consideration of three
comments submitted in response to the
1979 proposed rule that disagreed with
the proposal classifying into class III
iontophoresis devices for uses other
than diagnosing cystic fibrosis,
application of fluoride in dentistry, or
anesthetizing the tympanic membrane.
Based on FDA’s analysis of the available
literature and input from the Physical
Medicine; Ear, Nose and Throat; and
Dental Device Classification Panels (see
the preamble to the proposed rule 44 FR
50520), FDA disagreed with the
comments and concluded that
insufficient data exist to support uses of
the device other than those specifically
considered. In addition, the final rule
removed the dental application of
fluoride and local anesthesia of the
intact tympanic membrane uses from
the class II definition because it was
determined that there were no marketed
drugs with adequate instructions for use
with an iontophoresis device for these
uses. The effect of this change in the
identification was to classify into class
III iontophoresis devices for these two
uses.
In 1987, FDA published a clarification
by inserting language in the codified
language stating that no effective date
had been established for the
requirement for premarket approval for
iontophoresis devices intended for any
other purposes (52 FR 17742, May 11,
1987).
On August 22, 2000, FDA published
a proposed rule (65 FR 50949) to amend
the iontophoresis device regulation to
remove the class III (premarket
approval) identification because FDA
believed there were no preamendments
iontophoresis devices marketed for uses
other than those described in the class
II identification. The proposed rule
stated that manufacturers of
iontophoresis devices that had been
cleared as class III 510(k)s could revise
the labeling of their devices to meet the
class II identification.
On November 4, 2004, FDA withdrew
the proposed rule issued on August 22,
2000 (65 FR 50949), in response to
comments received (69 FR 64266). FDA
simultaneously issued a Notice of Intent
to reclassify iontophoresis devices
currently in class III into class II (special
controls) and provided an opportunity
for interested persons to submit any
new information concerning the safety
and effectiveness of iontophoresis
devices (69 FR 64313). FDA did not take
further regulatory action regarding
iontophoresis devices prior to issuing
the 2009 515(i) order on April 9, 2009

[Docket No. FDA–2009–M–0101],
relating to their regulatory classification.
The discussion at the committee
meeting will involve making
recommendations regarding regulatory
classification to either reconfirm to class
III (subject to PMA), or reclassify to
class I or class II (subject to 510(k)). The
committee will further be asked to
comment on whether general and/or
special controls are adequate to
reasonably ensure the safety and
effectiveness of the device and whether,
if reclassified to Class II, these devices
should be exempt from premarket
notification requirements.
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

Procedure: Interested persons may
present data, information, or views,
orally or in writing, on issues pending
before the committee. Written
submissions may be made to the contact
person on or before January 31, 2014.
Oral presentations from the public will
be scheduled between approximately
10:45 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. on February
21, 2014. Those individuals interested
in making formal oral presentations
should notify the contact person and

Information Collection Request Title:
Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood
Home Visiting Program Information
System
emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
OMB No. 0915–0357—Revision
Abstract: On March 23, 2010, the
President signed into law the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act of
2010 (Pub. L. 111–148), historic and
transformative legislation designed to
make quality, affordable health care
available to all Americans, reduce costs,
improve health care quality, enhance
disease prevention, and strengthen the
health care workforce. Through a
provision authorizing the creation of the
Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood
Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program, the
Act responds to the diverse needs of
children and families in communities at
risk and provides an unprecedented
opportunity for collaboration and
partnership at the federal, state, and
community levels to improve health and
development outcomes for at-risk
children through voluntary evidencebased home visiting programs. The
MIECHV Program is designed: (1) To
strengthen and improve the programs
and activities carried out under Title V
of the Social Security Act; (2) to
improve coordination of services for atrisk communities; and (3) to identify
and provide comprehensive services to
improve outcomes for families who
reside in at-risk communities.
The program is jointly administered
by HRSA and ACF and includes grants
to states, jurisdictions, and eligible nonprofits (State MIECHV program) and
grants to Tribes (including consortia of
tribes), Tribal Organizations, and Urban
Indian Organizations (Tribal MIECHV
program).
The Social Security Act, Title V,
Section 511 (42 U.S.C. 711), as amended
by the Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act of 2010, requires that State and
Tribal MIECHV grantees collect data to
measure improvements for eligible
families in six specified areas (referred
to as ‘‘benchmark areas’’) that
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:36 Dec 23, 2013
Jkt 232001
encompass the major goals for the
program: (1) Improved maternal and
newborn health; (2) prevention of child
injuries, child abuse, neglect, or
maltreatment, and reduction of
emergency room visits; (3) improvement
in school readiness and achievement;
(4) reduction in crime or domestic
violence; 5) improvements in family
economic self-sufficiency; and (6)
improvements in the coordination and
referrals for other community resources
and supports.
The Supplemental Information
Request for the Submission of the
Updated State Plan for a State Home
Visiting Program, published on
February 8, 2011, further listed a variety
of constructs under each benchmark
area for which State MIECHV grantees
were to select and submit relevant
performance measures. Per Section
511(d)(1)(B)(i) of the legislation, no later
than 30 days after the end of the third
year of the program, grantees are
required to demonstrate improvement in
at least four of the six benchmark areas.
Funding opportunity announcements,
notices of award, and program guidance
documents for competitive, formula,
and non-profit grants also require
annual reporting on the constructs
under each benchmark area, as well as
on demographic, service utilization,
budgetary, and other administrative data
related to program implementation.
Tribal MIECHV grantees must also
report annually on demographic, service
utilization, budgetary, and other
administrative data related to program
implementation. In addition, Tribal
MIECHV grantees must propose a plan
for meeting the benchmark requirements
specified in the legislation and must
report on improvement on constructs
under each benchmark area at the end
of Year 4 and Year 5 of their 5-year
grants.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The data collected from the
proposed Home Visiting (HV) forms will
be used to track State and Tribal
MIECHV grantees’ progress in
demonstrating improvement under each
benchmark area and provide an overall
picture of the population being served.
The proposed data collection forms are
as follows:
Home Visiting Form 1—Demographic
and Service Utilization Data for
Enrollees and Children—This form
requests data to determine the
unduplicated number of participants
and of participant groups by primary
insurance coverage. This form also
requests data on the demographic
characteristics of program participants
such as race, ethnicity, and income. The
PO 00000
Frm 00049
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
77691
form is used by both State and Tribal
MIECHV grantees. As this form has
current approval from OMB and is in
use, no changes are proposed.
Home Visiting Form 2—State Grantee
Performance Measures: Grantees have
already selected relevant performance
measures for the legislatively identified
benchmark areas. This form provides a
template for grantees to report aggregate
data on their selected performance
measures. This form is used by State
MIECHV grantees only. As this form has
current approval from OMB and is in
use, no changes are proposed.
Home Visiting Form 3—Tribal
Grantee Performance Measures: To
show quantifiable, measurable
improvement in benchmark areas, each
Tribal MIECHV grantee must submit
data demonstrating improvement on
constructs in each of the six benchmark
areas. The purpose of the proposed
collection on Home Visiting Form 3 will
be to track Tribal MIECHV grantees’
progress in demonstrating improvement
under each benchmark area. This form
is used by Tribal MIECHV grantees only.
As this form was not included in the
previous submission to OMB, this form
is new to the information system.
Likely Respondents: Home Visiting
Form 1 is used by all MIECHV Program
grantees. Home Visiting Form 2 is used
by the states, the District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands,
the Northern Mariana Islands, American
Samoa, and non-profit organizations
providing services within states through
the State MIECHV Program. Home
Visiting Form 3 will be used by Tribal
MIECHV grantees.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this Information
Collection Request are summarized in
the table below.
