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 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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. Center for Devices and Radiological Health Appeals Processes OMB Control Number 0910–0738— Extension The guidance document entitled ‘‘Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff; Center for Devices and Radiological Health Appeals Processes’’ 1 describes the processes available to outside stakeholders to request additional review of decisions or actions by CDRH employees. FDA is seeking approval for the reporting burden associated with requests for additional review of decisions and actions by CDRH employees as described in the guidance. Individuals outside of FDA who disagree with a decision or action taken by CDRH and wish to have it reviewed or reconsidered have several processes for resolution from which to choose, including requests for supervisory review of an action, petitions, and hearings. Of these, by far the most commonly used is a request for supervisory review under § 10.75 (21 CFR 10.75) (‘‘10.75 appeal’’). Section 517A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360g–1), added by section 603 of the Food and Drug Safety and Innovation Act, includes requirements pertaining to the process and timelines for 10.75 appeals of ‘‘significant decisions’’ regarding 510(k) premarket notifications, applications for premarket approvals (PMAs), and applications for investigational device exemptions (IDEs). A request for review under § 10.75 should be based on the information that was already present in the administrative file at the time of the decision that is being reviewed as provided in § 10.75(d). Section 517A of the FD&C Act refers to significant decisions regarding the information in the administrative file for premarket notification (section 510(k) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360(k))), PMA (section 515 (21 U.S.C. 360e)), and IDE (section 520(g) (21 U.S.C. 360j(g))) submissions that is collected under existing regulations that specify the information manufacturers must submit so that FDA may properly evaluate the safety and effectiveness of medical devices. The information collections associated with these regulations are currently approved by the OMB as follows: The collections of information in 21 CFR part 807, subpart E (premarket notification) have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0120; the collections of information in 21 CFR part 814 (premarket approval) have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0231; and the collections of information in 21 CFR part 812 (investigational device exemption) have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0078. While CDRH already possesses in the administrative file the information that would form the basis of a decision on a matter under appeal, the submission of particular information regarding the request itself and the data and information relied on by the requestor in the appeal would facilitate timely resolution of the decision under review. The guidance describes the collection of information not expressly specified under existing regulations such as the submission of the request for review, minor clarifications as part of the request, and supporting information. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN 1 Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent Total annual responses Average burden per response Total hours 35 1 35 8 280 CDRH Appeals processes guidance document .................. 1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. 1 https://www.fda.gov/ucm/groups/fdagov-public/ @fdagov-meddev-gen/documents/document/ ucm284670.pdf.

Center for Devices and Radiological Health Appeals Processes

OMB Control Number 0910-0738--Extension

    The guidance document entitled ``Guidance for Industry and Food and 
Drug Administration Staff; Center for Devices and Radiological Health 
Appeals Processes'' \1\ describes the processes available to outside 
stakeholders to request additional review of decisions or actions by 
CDRH employees. FDA is seeking approval for the reporting burden 
associated with requests for additional review of decisions and actions 
by CDRH employees as described in the guidance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ https://www.fda.gov/ucm/groups/fdagov-public/@fdagov-meddev-gen/documents/document/ucm284670.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Individuals outside of FDA who disagree with a decision or action 
taken by CDRH and wish to have it reviewed or reconsidered have several 
processes for resolution from which to choose, including requests for 
supervisory review of an action, petitions, and hearings. Of these, by 
far the most commonly used is a request for supervisory review under 
Sec.  [thinsp]10.75 (21 CFR 10.75) (``10.75 appeal''). Section 517A of 
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360g-1), 
added by section 603 of the Food and Drug Safety and Innovation Act, 
includes requirements pertaining to the process and timelines for 10.75 
appeals of ``significant decisions'' regarding 510(k) premarket 
notifications, applications for premarket approvals (PMAs), and 
applications for investigational device exemptions (IDEs).
    A request for review under Sec.  [thinsp]10.75 should be based on 
the information that was already present in the administrative file at 
the time of the decision that is being reviewed as provided in Sec.  
[thinsp]10.75(d). Section 517A of the FD&C Act refers to significant 
decisions regarding the information in the administrative file for 
premarket notification (section 510(k) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 
360(k))), PMA (section 515 (21 U.S.C. 360e)), and IDE (section 520(g) 
(21 U.S.C. 360j(g))) submissions that is collected under existing 
regulations that specify the information manufacturers must submit so 
that FDA may properly evaluate the safety and effectiveness of medical 
devices. The information collections associated with these regulations 
are currently approved by the OMB as follows: The collections of 
information in 21 CFR part 807, subpart E (premarket notification) have 
been approved under OMB control number 0910-0120; the collections of 
information in 21 CFR part 814 (premarket approval) have been approved 
under OMB control number 0910-0231; and the collections of information 
in 21 CFR part 812 (investigational device exemption) have been 
approved under OMB control number 0910-0078.
    While CDRH already possesses in the administrative file the 
information that would form the basis of a decision on a matter under 
appeal, the submission of particular information regarding the request 
itself and the data and information relied on by the requestor in the 
appeal would facilitate timely resolution of the decision under review. 
The guidance describes the collection of information not expressly 
specified under existing regulations such as the submission of the 
request for review, minor clarifications as part of the request, and 
supporting information.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

    Our estimated burden for the information collection reflects a 
decrease of 15 responses and a corresponding overall decrease of 120 
hours. We attribute this adjustment to a decrease in the number of 
submissions we received over the last few years.
