In table 1, we estimate the burden associated with the submission of waiver requests for postmarketing safety reports in electronic format under §§ 310.305(e)(2), 314.80(g)(2), 329.100(c)(2), 600.80(h)(2), and 600.81(b)(2). We expect few waiver requests. We estimate only one manufacturer will request a waiver annually under §§ 310.305(e)(2), 329.100(c)(2), and 600.81(b)(2), and approximately five manufacturers will request waivers annually under §§ 314.80(g)(2) and 600.80(h)(2). We estimate that each waiver request takes 1 hour to prepare and submit. The burden for this information collection has not increased since the last collection. Dated: February 5, 2018.
