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

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.

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.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
310.

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
