When an appropriate scientific rationale supports such an approach, FDA encourages the joint development of therapeutic products and diagnostic devices that are essential for the safe and effective use of those therapeutic products. To facilitate the development and approval of therapeutic products that are intended for use with IVD companion diagnostic devices, as well as the development of the IVD companion diagnostic devices themselves, FDA is clarifying relevant policies related to these devices and products. In the Federal Register of July 14, 2011 (76 FR 41506), FDA announced the availability of the draft guidance document. Interested persons were invited to comment by October 12, 2011 (76 FR 51993). Thirty two sets of comments were received and reviewed by FDA. The guidance was updated to address comments where appropriate. II. Significance of Guidance This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the Agency’s current thinking on IVD companion diagnostic devices. It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES III.

AGENCY: ACTION: Notice. In compliance with the requirement for opportunity for public comment on proposed data collection projects (Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995), the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) announces plans to submit an Information Collection Request (ICR), described below, to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Prior to submitting the ICR to OMB, HRSA seeks comments from the public regarding the burden estimate, below, or any other aspect of the ICR.

DATES: Submit your comments to paperwork@hrsa.gov or mail the HRSA Information Collection Clearance Officer, Room 10–29, Parklawn Building, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857. ADDRESSES: To request more information on the proposed project or to obtain a copy of the data collection plans and draft instruments, email paperwork@hrsa.gov or call the HRSA Information Collection Clearance Officer at (301) 443–1984.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00062 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 45815 Information Collection Request Title: Information/Referral and Professional Training Surveys (OMB No. 0915–xxxx)—[New] Abstract: These surveys are designed to collect information from recipients of information/referral services and professional training provided by the following two HRSA-funded programs: (1) Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) State Implementation Partnership Grants and (2) Protection and Advocacy for TBI Grants. Additionally, grant recipients administering these surveys will submit a summary report aggregating the responses from these two surveys. The authority for this program is the Public Health Service Act, Title XII, Section 1252, as amended (42 U.S.C. 300d–52). Per the authorizing legislation, the intent of these programs is to improve access to rehabilitation and other services regarding traumatic brain injury. The HRSA State Implementation Partnership Grants and State Protection and Advocacy Grants support this charge by providing information to individuals with TBI and their families about TBI, and making referrals to local providers equipped to meet the unique needs of each survivor. Additionally, these grant programs train providers in various settings to identify and effectively serve individuals with TBI and their families. Individuals with TBI present with a host of different symptoms, which exist with varying levels of severity. Comprehensive, appropriate care often requires a variety of services such as physical rehabilitation, speech rehabilitation, cognitive rehabilitation, special education accommodations, vocational skills coaching, and independent living skills training. These services are often located across many state/local agencies and providers. For this reason, individuals with TBI and their family members often have difficulty identifying local providers with the skills and expertise to deliver services that will promote recovery and maximize independence. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: HRSA proposes that the data collection surveys be administered by grant recipients to individuals with TBI, their family members, and professional providers for two categories of activities—information/referral services and professional training. These surveys were developed to capture the following: (1) The effectiveness of information and referral services provided to individuals with TBI and their family members, and (2) the effectiveness of training about TBI for professionals who may encounter E:\FR\FM\06AUN1.SGM 06AUN1
