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. 513(g) Request for Information OMB Control Number 0910–0705— Extension Section 513(g) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360c(g)) provides a means for obtaining the Agency’s views about the classification and regulatory requirements that may be applicable to a particular device. Section 513(g) provides that, within 60 days of the receipt of a written request of any person for information respecting the class in which a device has been classified or the requirements applicable to a device under the FD&C Act, the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall provide such person a written statement of the classification (if any) of such device and the requirements of the FD&C Act applicable to the device. The guidance document entitled ‘‘FDA and Industry Procedures for Section 513(g) Requests for Information Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff’’ establishes procedures for submitting, reviewing, and responding to requests for information respecting the class in which a device has been classified or the requirements applicable to a device under the FD&C Act that are submitted in accordance with section 513(g) of the FD&C Act. FDA does not review data related to substantial equivalence or safety and effectiveness in a 513(g) request for information. FDA’s responses to 513(g) requests for information are not device classification decisions and do not constitute FDA clearance or approval for marketing. Classification decisions and clearance or approval for marketing require submissions under different sections of the FD&C Act. Additionally, the FD&C Act, as amended by the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110–85), requires FDA to collect user fees for 513(g) requests for information. The guidance document entitled ‘‘Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff; User Fees for 513(g) Requests for Information’’ assists FDA staff and regulated industry by describing the user fees associated with 513(g) requests. The Medical Device User Fee Cover Sheet (Form FDA 3601), which accompanies the supplemental material described in this information collection is approved under OMB control number 0910–0511 and expires August 31, 2019. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN Number of respondents Activity Number of responses per respondent Average burden per response Total annual responses Total hours CDRH 513(g) requests ........................................................ CBER 513(g) requests ......................................................... 114 4 1 1 114 4 12 12 1,368 48 Total .............................................................................. ........................ ........................ ........................ ........................ 1,416 1 There are no capital costs of operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection off information. Respondents of this collection of information are mostly device manufacturers; however, anyone may submit a 513(g) request for information.

NNOHA participated in the IOHPCP initiative and in fiscal year (FY) 2012 received supplemental funding (U30CS09745–05–02) to implement a pilot project in safety net settings to inform the impact and effectiveness of oral health core clinical competencies and inter-professional collaboration in primary care settings. The goal of the project was to increase integration of oral health and primary health care.

In order to achieve this goal, HRSA will provide supplemental funding to the NNOHA to advance and expand the implementation of oral health core clinical competencies in health centers, focusing on services for pregnant women and children. Additionally, these demonstration projects will directly align with four HRSA recommendations for effectively incorporating the competencies into clinical practice as described in the 2014 Integrating Oral Health and Primary Care Practice report. This activity is consistent with the current work plan of NNOHA and includes providing training and technical assistance on IOHPCP. NNOHA’s primary roles are to coordinate all activities at the planning, implementation, evaluation, and dissemination stages, as well as provide technical assistance and training to participating HCs. NNOHA shall select no fewer than six HCs, which it supports as part of the current HRSAfunded National Training and Technical Assistance Cooperative Agreement Program (U30CS29051).
