Respondents may submit a humanitarian device exemption (HDE) application seeking exemption from the effectiveness requirements of sections 514 and 515 of the FD&C Act as authorized by section 520(m)(2). The information collected will assist FDA in making determinations on the following: (1) Whether to grant HUD designation of a medical device; (2) whether to exempt an HUD from the effectiveness requirements under sections 514 and 515 of the FD&C Act, provided that the device meets requirements set forth under section 520(m) of the FD&C Act; and (3) whether to grant marketing approval(s) for the HUD. Failure to collect this information would prevent FDA from making a determination on the factors listed previously in this document. Further, the collected information would also enable FDA to determine whether the holder of an HUD is in compliance with the HUD provisions under section 520(m) of the FD&C Act. In the Federal Register of October 16, 2017 (82 FR 48096), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. No comments were received.

The number of annual reports submitted under § 814.126(b)(1) in table 1 reflects 35 respondents with approved HUD applications. Under § 814.126(b)(2) in table 2, the estimated number of recordkeepers is 247. The number of respondents has been adjusted to reflect updated respondent data.
