companion diagnostic devices that have
inadequate performance characteristics.
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availability of the draft guidance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.

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
