Pulmonary-Allergy Drugs Advisory Committee; Notice of Meeting, 59782-59783 [2014-23548]

Download as PDF 59782 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 192 / Friday, October 3, 2014 / Notices mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES FDA acknowledges that according to the CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) program at CMS (August 2014), there are approximately 11,000 CLIA-certified high complexity labs that have the appropriate certifications to manufacture LDTs. However, FDA is not aware of information describing the exact number of certified high complexity laboratories currently offering LDTs. Therefore, FDA has relied upon the information provided by New York State when creating these estimates. FDA acknowledges that, without firm data on the number of labs offering LDTs or the number of tests offered per lab, the estimate of the number of respondents is necessarily uncertain. After the initial notification, respondents will only notify FDA of new tests or modifications that affect performance or intended use. We estimate the number of tests in subsequent years to be approximately 5 percent of the estimated number of initial notifications. FDA bases its estimate of the average burden per response on Agency creation of a mock notification. We would expect labs to take up to an hour for their first notification and only 30 minutes for subsequent notifications, due to familiarity with the system. Therefore, we estimate the total reporting burden to respondents to be 5,850 hours for the first year and 325 hours for subsequent years. This draft guidance also refers to previously approved collections of information found in FDA regulations. These collections of information are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). The collections of information in 21 CFR part 803 (medical device reporting) have been approved under OMB control numbers 0910–0291 and 0910–0437; the collections of information in 21 CFR part 806 (reports of corrections and removals) have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0359; and the collections of information in 21 CFR part 807, subparts B and C (registration and listing) have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0625.
