Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 226 / Friday, November 22, 2019 / Notices PETNet and LivestockNet reports share the following common data elements, the majority of which are drop down menu choices: product details (product name, lot code, product form, and the manufacturer or distributor/ packer (if known)), the species affected, number of animals exposed to the product, number of animals affected, body systems affected, product problem/defect, date of onset or the date product problem was detected, the State where the incident occurred, the origin of the information, whether there are supporting laboratory results, and contact information for the reporting member (i.e., name, telephone number will be captured automatically when member logs in to the system). For the LivestockNet report, additional data elements specific to livestock animals are captured: Product details (indication of whether the product is a medicated product, product packaging, and intended purpose of the product), class of the animal species affected, and production loss. For PETNet reports, the only additional data field is the animal life stage. The SampleNet reports have the following data elements, many of which are drop down menu choices: Product information (product name, lot code, guarantor information, date and location of sample collection, and product description); laboratory information (sample identification 64535 number, the reason for testing, whether the food was reported to the Reportable Food Registry, who performed the analysis); and results information (analyte, test method, analytical results, whether the results contradict a label claim or guarantee, and whether action was taken as a result of the sample analysis). Description of Respondents: Voluntary respondents to this collection of information are Federal, State, and Territorial regulatory and public health Agency employees with membership access to the Animal Feed Network. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN 1 Total annual responses Average burden per response Total hours PETNet ................................................................

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance.

After the events of September 11, 2001, and as part of broader counterterrorism and emergency preparedness activities, FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) began developing operational plans and interventions that would enable CDRH to anticipate and respond to medical device shortages that might arise in the context of federally declared disasters/emergencies or regulatory actions. In particular, CDRH identified the need to acquire and maintain detailed data on domestic inventory, manufacturing capabilities, distribution plans, and raw material constraints for medical devices that would be in high demand and/or would be vulnerable to shortages in specific disaster/emergency situations or following specific regulatory actions. Such data could support prospective risk assessment, help inform risk mitigation strategies, support real-time decision making by the Department of Health and Human Services during actual emergencies or emergency preparedness exercises, and mitigate or prevent harm to the public health. The data collection process will consist of an initial telephone call to firms who have been identified as E:\FR\FM\22NON1.SGM 22NON1 64536 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 226 / Friday, November 22, 2019 / Notices producing an essential medical device. In this initial call, the intent and goals of the data collection effort will be described, and the specific data request made. Data will be collected, using least burdensome methods, in a structured manner to answer specific questions. After the initial outreach, we will request updates to the information on a quarterly basis to keep the data current and accurate. Additional followup correspondence may occasionally be needed to verify/validate data, confirm receipt of followup correspondence(s), and/or request additional details to further inform FDA’s public health response. In the Federal Register of December 28, 2018 (83 FR 67298), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. No comments were received. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN1 Shortages Data Collection ................ 1 There 260 Total annual responses 4 1,040 Average burden per response 0.5 (30 minutes) ............................... Total hours 520 are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. FDA based the burden estimates in table 1 on past experience with direct contact with the medical device manufacturers and anticipated changes in the medical device manufacturing patterns for the specific devices being monitored. FDA estimates that approximately 260 manufacturers would be contacted by telephone and/ or electronic mail 4 times per year either to obtain primary data or to verify/ validate data. Because the requested data represent data elements that are monitored or tracked by manufacturers as part of routine inventory management activities, it is anticipated that for most manufacturers, the estimated time required of manufacturers to complete the data request will not exceed 30 minutes per request cycle. This information collection is a reinstatement without change. There is an increase (an adjustment) of 332 hours in the total estimated burden compared with that identified in the information collection request previously approved by OMB. This increase reflects changes in market demands, in which manufacturers are increasingly adopting just-in-time production methods. Dated: November 18, 2019. Lowell J.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has 
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for 
review and clearance.

Medical Devices; Shortages Data Collection System

OMB Control Number 0910-0491--Reinstatement

    Under section 1003(d)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 
Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 393(d)(2)), the Commissioner of Food and 
Drugs is authorized to implement general powers (including conducting 
research) to carry out effectively the mission of FDA.
    After the events of September 11, 2001, and as part of broader 
counterterrorism and emergency preparedness activities, FDA's Center 
for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) began developing operational 
plans and interventions that would enable CDRH to anticipate and

federally declared disasters/emergencies or regulatory actions. In 
particular, CDRH identified the need to acquire and maintain detailed 
data on domestic inventory, manufacturing capabilities, distribution 
plans, and raw material constraints for medical devices that would be 
in high demand and/or would be vulnerable to shortages in specific 
disaster/emergency situations or following specific regulatory actions. 
Such data could support prospective risk assessment, help inform risk 
mitigation strategies, support real-time decision making by the 
Department of Health and Human Services during actual emergencies or 
emergency preparedness exercises, and mitigate or prevent harm to the 
public health.
    The data collection process will consist of an initial telephone 
call to firms who have been identified as

[[Page 64536]]

producing an essential medical device. In this initial call, the intent 
and goals of the data collection effort will be described, and the 
specific data request made. Data will be collected, using least 
burdensome methods, in a structured manner to answer specific 
questions. After the initial outreach, we will request updates to the 
information on a quarterly basis to keep the data current and accurate. 
Additional followup correspondence may occasionally be needed to 
verify/validate data, confirm receipt of followup correspondence(s), 
and/or request additional details to further inform FDA's public health 
response.
    In the Federal Register of December 28, 2018 (83 FR 67298), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. No comments were received.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

  information.

    FDA based the burden estimates in table 1 on past experience with 
direct contact with the medical device manufacturers and anticipated 
changes in the medical device manufacturing patterns for the specific 
devices being monitored. FDA estimates that approximately 260 
manufacturers would be contacted by telephone and/or electronic mail 4 
times per year either to obtain primary data or to verify/validate 
data. Because the requested data represent data elements that are 
monitored or tracked by manufacturers as part of routine inventory 
management activities, it is anticipated that for most manufacturers, 
the estimated time required of manufacturers to complete the data 
request will not exceed 30 minutes per request cycle.
    This information collection is a reinstatement without change. 
There is an increase (an adjustment) of 332 hours in the total 
estimated burden compared with that identified in the information 
collection request previously approved by OMB. This increase reflects
