Alternate contact: Office of Policy, 301–796–4830. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance for the public and FDA staff entitled ‘‘Gifts to FDA: Evaluation and Acceptance.’’ The Secretary of HHS has the authority to accept conditional or unconditional gifts on behalf of the United States. The Secretary has delegated this gift authority to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs. This guidance provides the process and principles we will use in implementing this authority. FDA will consider gifts from all sources except the Reagan-Udall Foundation (RUF) on a case-by-case basis using a balancing test, described in the guidance. While any person may offer a gift, there are five reasons we should reject a gift without additional evaluation. We should not accept a gift if: (1) The donor imposes conditions that are illegal, are contrary to public policy, are unreasonable to administer, are contrary to FDA’s current policies and procedures, or are contrary to generally accepted public standards; (2) the donor requires us to provide the donor with some privilege, concession, or other present or future benefit in return for the gift; (3) a debarred entity offers the gift; (4) a different authority or financial mechanism applies; or (5) the total costs associated with acceptance are expected to exceed the cost of purchasing a similar item and the cost of normal care and maintenance. In the Federal Register of June 29, 2016 (81 FR 42365), FDA announced the availability of a draft guidance entitled ‘‘Gifts to FDA: Evaluation and Acceptance: Evaluation and Acceptance.’’ FDA received one comment expressing concern regarding the policy described in the guidance. It appears the commenter may have misunderstood the policy and incorrectly believed that gifts would not be limited, would be unreported, and would be provided to Federal employees themselves. As explained in the guidance, that is not the case. Rather, the recipients of any gifts would be the Agency, gifts are extensively reviewed to ensure receipt would be appropriate, and the Agency intends to publish a summary of received gifts. The Agency has made only minor changes to the guidance to clarify that the evaluation of gifts from RUF will reflect RUF’s unique role in support of PO 00000 Frm 00067 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 91181 the Agency and the statutory safeguards in 21 U.S.C. 379dd. In addition, the discussion of restrictions on funds for travel has been clarified to better reflect the scope of statutes and policies governing the use of non-Agency funds for travel. This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the current thinking of FDA on this matter. It does not establish any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the public. You can use an alternative approach if it satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. II.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 PO 00000 Frm 00068 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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 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. Medical Devices; Pediatric Uses of Devices; Requirement for Submission of Information on Pediatric Subpopulations That Suffer From a Disease or Condition That a Device Is Intended To Treat, Diagnose, or Cure— 21 CFR Part 814—OMB Control Number 0910–0748—Extension Section 515A(a) of the FD&C Act requires applicants who submit certain medical device applications to include readily available information providing a description of any pediatric subpopulations that suffer from the disease or condition that the device is intended to treat, diagnose, or cure, and the number of affected pediatric patients. The information submitted will allow FDA to track the number of approved devices for which there is a pediatric subpopulation that suffers from the disease or condition that the device is intended to treat, diagnose, or cure and the review time for each such device application. These requirements apply to applicants who submit humanitarian device exemption requests (HDEs), premarket approval applications (PMAs) or PMA supplements, or a product development protocol (PDP). FDA expects to receive approximately 45 original PMA/PDP/HDE applications E:\FR\FM\16DEN1.SGM 16DEN1 91183 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 242 / Friday, December 16, 2016 / Notices each year, 5 of which FDA expects to be HDEs. This estimate is based on the average of FDA’s receipt of new PMA applications. The Agency estimates that 10 of the estimated 40 original PMA submissions will fail to provide the required pediatric use information and their sponsors will therefore be required to submit PMA amendments. The Agency also expects to receive approximately 700 supplements that will include the pediatric use Furthermore, because supplements may include readily available information on pediatric populations by referencing a previous submission, FDA estimates the average time to obtain and submit the required information in a supplement to be 2 hours. FDA estimates that the total estimated burden is 1,760 hours. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: information required by section 515A(a) of the FD&C Act and part 814 (21 CFR part 814). All that is required is to gather, organize, and submit information that is readily available, using any approach that meets the requirements of section 515A(a) of the FD&C Act and part 814. We believe that because the applicant is required to organize and submit only readily available information, no more than 8 hours will be required to comply.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 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.

Medical Devices; Pediatric Uses of Devices; Requirement for Submission 
of Information on Pediatric Subpopulations That Suffer From a Disease 
or Condition That a Device Is Intended To Treat, Diagnose, or Cure--21 
CFR Part 814--OMB Control Number 0910-0748--Extension

    Section 515A(a) of the FD&C Act requires applicants who submit 
certain medical device applications to include readily available 
information providing a description of any pediatric subpopulations 
that suffer from the disease or condition that the device is intended 
to treat, diagnose, or cure, and the number of affected pediatric 
patients. The information submitted will allow FDA to track the number 
of approved devices for which there is a pediatric subpopulation that 
suffers from the disease or condition that the device is intended to 
treat, diagnose, or cure and the review time for each such device 
application.
    These requirements apply to applicants who submit humanitarian 
device exemption requests (HDEs), premarket approval applications 
(PMAs) or PMA supplements, or a product development protocol (PDP).
    FDA expects to receive approximately 45 original PMA/PDP/HDE 
applications

[[Page 91183]]

each year, 5 of which FDA expects to be HDEs. This estimate is based on 
the average of FDA's receipt of new PMA applications. The Agency 
estimates that 10 of the estimated 40 original PMA submissions will 
fail to provide the required pediatric use information and their 
sponsors will therefore be required to submit PMA amendments. The 
Agency also expects to receive approximately 700 supplements that will 
include the pediatric use information required by section 515A(a) of 
the FD&C Act and part 814 (21 CFR part 814).
    All that is required is to gather, organize, and submit information 
that is readily available, using any approach that meets the 
requirements of section 515A(a) of the FD&C Act and part 814. We 
believe that because the applicant is required to organize and submit 
only readily available information, no more than 8 hours will be 
required to comply. Furthermore, because supplements may include 
readily available information on pediatric populations by referencing a 
previous submission, FDA estimates the average time to obtain and 
submit the required information in a supplement to be 2 hours. FDA 
estimates that the total estimated burden is 1,760 hours.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
