Background The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) believes that computer modeling and simulation (M&S) has the potential to substantially augment traditional models used to evaluate medical devices; i.e., animal, VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:52 Apr 01, 2015 Jkt 235001 bench, and human models, and to accelerate and streamline the total product life cycle of a medical device. The use of computer models to simulate multiple use conditions and to visualize and display complex processes and data can revolutionize the way medical outcomes and medical devices are understood. Non-proprietary computer models could benchmark device performance, yet lack of access to biomedical data to construct the models and rigorous methods to validate the models limit their credibility and use. To foster good science for M&S in the medical device community, CDRH needs to leverage the expertise in industry and academia to advance M&S for regulatory uses. II. Topics for Discussion at the Public Workshop A large number of issues will be discussed at the conference with the overall theme being the application of modeling and simulation for medical devices at different stages in the total product life cycle. Topics include, but are not limited to the following: • Model foundations for device design ideation; • concept development and design optimization; • modeling for robust design; • design verification and validation; • patient specific design; • integration of modeling with clinical studies; • modeling and device commercialization. This public workshop may also form the basis for future discussions related to computer modeling and simulation that could benefit U.S. public health. Dated: March 27, 2015.

Submit written comments on the collection of information to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA–305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852. All comments should be identified with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: FDA PRA Staff, Office of Operations, Food and Drug Administration, 8455 Colesville Rd., COLE–14526, Silver Spring, MD 20993–0002, PRAStaff@ fda.hhs.gov. for approval. To comply with this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information set forth in this document. With respect to the following collection of information, FDA invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA’s functions, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information technology. Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. ‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB New Animal Drugs for Investigational Uses—21 CFR Part 511 (OMB Control Number 0910–0117)—(Extension) SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA has the authority under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) to approve new animal drugs. Section 512(j) of the Act (21 U.S.C. 360b(j)), authorizes FDA to issue regulations relating to the investigational use of new animal drugs. The regulations setting forth the conditions for investigational use of new animal drugs have been codified at 21 CFR part 511. If the new animal drug is only for tests in vitro or in laboratory research animals, the person distributing the new animal drug must maintain records showing the name and post office address of the expert or expert organization to whom it is shipped and the date, quantity, and batch or code mark of each shipment and delivery for a period of 2 years after such shipment or delivery. Before shipping a new animal drug for clinical investigations in animals, a sponsor must submit to FDA a Notice of Claimed Investigational Exemption (NCIE). The NCIE must contain, among other things, the following specific information: (1) Identity of the new animal drug, (2) labeling, (3) statement of compliance of any non-clinical laboratory studies with good laboratory practices, (4) name and address of each clinical investigator, (5) the approximate number of animals to be treated or amount of new animal drug(s) to be shipped, and (6) information regarding the use of edible tissues from investigational animals. Part 511 also requires that records be established and maintained to document the distribution and use of the investigational new animal drug to assure that its use is safe and that the distribution is controlled to prevent potential abuse. The Agency uses these required records under its Bio-Research Monitoring Program to monitor the validity of the studies submitted to FDA to support new animal drug approval and to assure that proper use of the drug is maintained by the investigator. Investigational new animal drugs are used primarily by drug industry firms, academic institutions, and the government. Investigators may include individuals from these entities, as well as research firms and members of the medical professions. Respondents to this collection of information are the persons who use new animal drugs for investigational purposes.

New Animal Drugs for Investigational Uses--21 CFR Part 511 (OMB Control 
Number 0910-0117)--(Extension)

    FDA has the authority under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 
Act (the FD&C Act) to approve new animal drugs. Section 512(j) of the 
Act (21 U.S.C. 360b(j)), authorizes FDA to issue regulations relating 
to the investigational use of new animal drugs. The regulations setting 
forth the conditions for investigational use of new animal drugs have 
been codified at 21 CFR part 511. If the new animal drug is only for 
tests in vitro or in laboratory research animals, the person 
distributing the new animal drug must maintain records showing the name 
and post office address of the expert or expert organization to whom it 
is shipped and the date, quantity, and batch or code mark of each 
shipment and delivery for a period of 2 years after such shipment or 
delivery. Before shipping a new animal drug for clinical investigations 
in animals, a sponsor must submit to FDA a Notice of Claimed 
Investigational Exemption (NCIE). The NCIE must contain, among other 
things, the following specific information: (1) Identity of the new 
animal drug, (2) labeling, (3) statement of compliance of any non-
clinical laboratory studies with good laboratory practices, (4) name 
and address of each clinical investigator, (5) the approximate number 
of animals to be treated or amount of new animal drug(s) to be shipped, 
and (6) information regarding the use of edible tissues from 
investigational animals. Part 511 also requires that records be 
established and maintained to document the distribution and use of the 
investigational new animal drug to assure that its use is safe and that 
the distribution is controlled to prevent potential abuse. The Agency 
uses these required records under its Bio-Research Monitoring Program 
to monitor the validity of the studies submitted to FDA to support new 
animal drug approval and to assure that proper use of the drug is 
maintained by the investigator.
    Investigational new animal drugs are used primarily by drug 
industry firms, academic institutions, and the government. 
Investigators may include individuals from these entities, as well as 
research firms and members of the medical professions. Respondents to 
this collection of information are the persons who use new animal drugs 
for investigational purposes.
    FDA estimates the burden of this information collection as follows:
