SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background Section 204 of the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105–115) amended section 514 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360d). Amended section 514 allows FDA to recognize consensus standards developed by international and national organizations for use in satisfying portions of device premarket review submissions or other requirements. In a notice published in the Federal Register of February 25, 1998 (63 FR 9561), FDA announced the availability of a guidance entitled ‘‘Recognition and Use of Consensus Standards.’’ The notice described how FDA would implement its standard recognition program and provided the initial list of recognized standards. Modifications to the initial list of recognized standards, as published in the Federal Register, can be accessed at https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/ DeviceRegulationandGuidance/ Standards/ucm123792.htm. These notices describe the addition, withdrawal, and revision of certain standards recognized by FDA. The Agency maintains hypertext markup language (HTML) and portable document format (PDF) versions of the list of FDA Recognized Consensus Standards. Both versions are publicly accessible at the Agency’s Internet site. See section VI of this document for electronic access information. Interested persons should review the E:\FR\FM\14JAN1.SGM 14JAN1 2454 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 9 / Tuesday, January 14, 2014 / Notices supplementary information sheet for the standard to understand fully the extent to which FDA recognizes the standard. II. Modifications to the List of Recognized Standards, Recognition List Number: 033 FDA is announcing the addition, withdrawal, correction, and revision of certain consensus standards the Agency will recognize for use in premarket submissions and other requirements for devices. We will incorporate these modifications in the list of FDA Recognized Consensus Standards in the Agency’s searchable database, using the term ‘‘Recognition List Number: 033’’ to identify these current modifications. In table 1 of this document, FDA describes the following modifications: (1) The withdrawal of standards and their replacement by others, if applicable; (2) the correction of errors made by FDA in listing previously recognized standards; and (3) the changes to the supplementary information sheets of recognized standards that describe revisions to the applicability of the standards. In section III of this document, FDA lists modifications the Agency is making that involve the initial addition of standards not previously recognized by FDA.

[FR Doc. 2014–00477 Filed 1–13–14; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4160–01–P Need and Use of Information Collection: This study will be a multicomponent 3-year evaluation of Diabetes HealthSense, an online compendium of psychosocial and behavioral resources to support lifestyle changes. The required forms will support the following evaluation tasks: (1) Assessing community educators’ experience and satisfaction with NDEP resources such as the Diabetes HealthSense Web site; (2) Assess the extent to which, through participation in Diabetes HealthSense educational sessions, community educators can increase their knowledge and ability to promote and use NDEP resources; and (3) Assess the extent to which the Web site, with guided exploration, can facilitate changes in lifestyle to help prevent or manage diabetes. The data collected from this evaluation will provide NDEP with information about how community educators use NDEPcreated resources in their communities and whether the Diabetes HealthSense resource has its intended effect on participants. Such data will help inform NDEP’s future decisions about the Diabetes HealthSense Web site, including whether to make changes to Diabetes HealthSense, and whether to invest additional resources to support, promote, or expand this resource. Frequency of Response: One time study. Affected Public: Adults with diabetes or at risk of diabetes and educators. Type of Respondents: Adult intervention participants and community educators. The annual reporting burden is outlined in the table below, and the annualized cost to respondents is estimated at: $6,597.15. There are no maintenance or capital costs to respondents to report.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Section 204 of the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act 
of 1997 (Pub. L. 105-115) amended section 514 of the Federal Food, 
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360d). Amended section 
514 allows FDA to recognize consensus standards developed by 
international and national organizations for use in satisfying portions 
of device premarket review submissions or other requirements.
    In a notice published in the Federal Register of February 25, 1998 
(63 FR 9561), FDA announced the availability of a guidance entitled 
``Recognition and Use of Consensus Standards.'' The notice described 
how FDA would implement its standard recognition program and provided 
the initial list of recognized standards.
    Modifications to the initial list of recognized standards, as 
published in the Federal Register, can be accessed at https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/Standards/ucm123792.htm.
    These notices describe the addition, withdrawal, and revision of 
certain standards recognized by FDA. The Agency maintains hypertext 
markup language (HTML) and portable document format (PDF) versions of 
the list of FDA Recognized Consensus Standards. Both versions are 
publicly accessible at the Agency's Internet site. See section VI of 
this document for electronic access information. Interested persons 
should review the

[[Page 2454]]

supplementary information sheet for the standard to understand fully 
the extent to which FDA recognizes the standard.

II. Modifications to the List of Recognized Standards, Recognition List 
Number: 033

    FDA is announcing the addition, withdrawal, correction, and 
revision of certain consensus standards the Agency will recognize for 
use in premarket submissions and other requirements for devices. We 
will incorporate these modifications in the list of FDA Recognized 
Consensus Standards in the Agency's searchable database, using the term 
``Recognition List Number: 033'' to identify these current 
modifications.
    In table 1 of this document, FDA describes the following 
modifications: (1) The withdrawal of standards and their replacement by 
others, if applicable; (2) the correction of errors made by FDA in 
listing previously recognized standards; and (3) the changes to the 
supplementary information sheets of recognized standards that describe 
revisions to the applicability of the standards.
    In section III of this document, FDA lists modifications the Agency 
is making that involve the initial addition of standards not previously 
recognized by FDA.

IV. List of Recognized Standards

    FDA maintains the Agency's current list of FDA Recognized Consensus 
Standards in a searchable database that may be accessed directly at our 
Internet site at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfStandards/search.cfm. We will incorporate the modifications and 
revisions described in this notice into the database and, upon 
publication in the Federal Register, this recognition of consensus 
standards will be effective. We will announce additional modifications 
and revisions to the list of recognized consensus standards, as needed, 
in the Federal Register once a year, or more often if necessary. 
Beginning with Recognition List Number: 033, we will no longer be 
announcing minor revisions to the list of recognized consensus 
standards such as technical contact person, relevant guidance, 
processes affected, Code of Federal Regulations citations, and product 
codes.

V. Recommendation of Standards for Recognition by FDA

    Any person may recommend consensus standards as candidates for 
recognition under section 514 of the FD&C Act by submitting such 
recommendations, with reasons for the recommendation, to the contact 
person (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT). To be properly 
considered, such recommendations should contain, at a minimum, the 
following information: (1) Title of the standard, (2) any reference 
number and date, (3) name and address of the national or international 
standards development organization, (4) a proposed list of devices for 
which a declaration of conformity to this standard should routinely 
apply, and (5) a brief identification of the testing or performance or 
other characteristics of the device(s) that would be addressed by a 
declaration of conformity.

VI. Electronic Access

    You may obtain a copy of ``Guidance on the Recognition and Use of 
Consensus Standards'' by using the Internet. The Center for Devices and 
Radiological Health (CDRH) maintains a site on the Internet for easy 
access to information including text, graphics, and files that you may 
download to a personal computer with access to the Internet. Updated on 
a regular basis, the CDRH home page includes the guidance as well as 
the current list of recognized standards and other standards-related 
documents. After publication in the Federal Register, this notice 
announcing ``Modification to the List of Recognized Standards, 
Recognition List Number: 033'' will be available on the CDRH home page. 
You may access the

recognition of consensus standards is available at https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/Standards/ucm123792.htm.

VII. Submission of Comments and Effective Date

    Interested persons may submit either electronic comments concerning 
this document, or recommendations for additional standards for 
recognition, by email to standards@cdrh.fda.gov or written comments to 
the contact person (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT). It is only 
necessary to send one set of comments. Identify comments with the 
docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. FDA 
will consider any comments received in determining whether to amend the 
current listing of modifications to the list of recognized standards, 
Recognition List Number: 033. These modifications to the list of 
recognized standards are effective upon publication of this notice in 
the Federal Register.
