are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.
2 No burden has been estimated for the recordkeeping requirement in § 107.280 because these records are maintained as a usual and customary part of normal business activities. Manufacturers keep infant formula distribution records for the prescribed period as a matter of routine
business practice.
The reporting and third-party
disclosure burden estimates are based
on Agency data, which shows that there
are six manufacturers of infant formula
and that there have been, on average,
two infant formula recalls per year for
the past 3 years. Based on this
information, we estimate that there are,
on average, approximately two infant
formula recalls per year.
Thus, we estimate that two
respondents conduct recalls annually
pursuant to §§ 107.230, 107.240, and
107.250. The estimated number of
respondents for § 107.260 is minimal
because we seldom use this section;
therefore, we estimate that there are one
or fewer respondents annually for
§ 107.260. The estimated number of
hours per response is an average based
on our experience and information from
firms that have conducted recalls. We
estimate that two respondents will
conduct infant formula recalls under
§ 107.230 and that it takes 4,450 hours
to comply with the requirements of that
section, for a total of 8,900 hours. We
estimate that two respondents conduct
infant formula recalls under § 107.240
and that it takes a respondent 1,482
hours to comply with the requirements
of that section, for a total of 2,964 hours.
We estimate that two respondents
submit recommendations for
termination of infant formula recalls
under § 107.250 and that it takes a
respondent 120 hours to comply with
the requirements of that section, for a
total of 240 hours. Finally, we estimate
that one respondent needs to carry out
additional effectiveness checks and
issue additional notifications, for a total
of 625 hours. Therefore, the total annual
burden hours for reporting is 12,729
hours (8,900 + 2,964 + 240 + 625).
Under 5 CFR 1320.3(b)(2), the time,
effort, and financial resources necessary
to comply with a collection of
information are excluded from the
burden estimate if the reporting,
recordkeeping, or disclosure activities
needed to comply are usual and
customary because they would occur in
the normal course of activities. No
burden has been estimated for the
recordkeeping requirement in § 107.280
because these records are maintained as
a usual and customary part of normal
business activities. Manufacturers keep
infant formula distribution records for
the prescribed period as a matter of
routine business practice.

Table 2 reports FDA’s third-party
disclosure burden estimates for
§§ 107.230 and 107.260. The estimated
burden hours per disclosure is an
average based on our experience with
the information collection. The thirdparty disclosure burden in § 107.230 is
the requirement to promptly notify each
affected direct account (customer) about
the recall, and if the recalled formula
presents a risk to human health, the
recalling firm must also request that
each establishment that sells the
recalled formula post a notice of the
recall at the point of purchase. We
estimate that two respondents conduct
infant formula recalls under § 107.230
and that it takes a respondent 50 hours
to comply with the third-party
disclosure requirements of that section,
for a total of 100 hours. The third-party
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
disclosure burden in § 107.260 is the
requirement to issue additional
notifications where the recall strategy or
implementation is determined to be
deficient. We estimate that one
respondent issues additional
notifications under § 107.260 and that it
takes a respondent 25 hours to comply
with the third-party disclosure
requirements of that section, for a total
of 25 hours. The total annual third-party
disclosure burden is 125 hours (100 +
25).
Based on a review of the information
collection since our last request for
OMB approval, we have made no
adjustments to our burden estimate.

I. Background
FDA is announcing the availability of
a guidance for industry entitled ‘‘Male
Breast Cancer: Developing Drugs for
Treatment.’’ This guidance provides
recommendations for sponsors
regarding the development and labeling
of cancer drugs and biological products
regulated by CDER and CBER for the
treatment of male patients with breast
cancer. Males have historically been
excluded from clinical trials of breast
cancer drugs because breast cancer in
males is rare. This has resulted in
limited FDA-approved treatment
options for males. Clinical management
of male breast cancer is generally based
on experience with and data from
females with breast cancer, rather than
on data from prospective, randomized
clinical trials.
The final guidance recommends
sponsors discuss their breast cancer

khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
drug development plan early in
development with CDER or CBER, as
applicable. The guidance recommends
that eligibility criteria for clinical trials
of breast cancer drugs allow for
inclusion of males. When males have
not been included or when inclusion of
males is very limited in clinical trials
for breast cancer drugs, the guidance
includes clinical development
recommendations for when no
difference in efficacy or safety is
anticipated between males and females
based on the drug’s mechanism of
action and for when there is a concern
for differential efficacy or safety
between males and females.
This guidance finalizes the draft
guidance entitled ‘‘Male Breast Cancer:
Developing Drugs for Treatment’’ issued
on August 27, 2019. FDA considered
comments received on the draft
guidance as the guidance was finalized.
Changes from the draft to the final
guidance include the addition of
examples of topics for early discussion
with FDA and expectations regarding
nonclinical studies.
This guidance is being issued
consistent with FDA’s good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115).
The guidance represents the current
thinking of FDA on ‘‘Male Breast
Cancer: Developing Drugs for
Treatment.’’ It does not establish any
rights for any person and is not binding
on FDA or the public. You can use an
alternative approach if it satisfies the
requirements of the applicable statutes
and regulations.
II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
This guidance refers to previously
approved FDA collections of
information. These collections of
information are subject to review by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3521). The
collections of information in 21 CFR
part 312 have been approved under
OMB control number 0910–0014; the
collections of information in 21 CFR
part 314 have been approved under
OMB control number 0910–0001; the

Abstract: More than just a job search
portal, the goal of the Health Workforce
Connector is to help connect skilled
professionals to communities in need by
allowing approved Site Points of
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00044
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Contact (POCs), including National
Health Service Corps (NHSC) and Nurse
Corps, to post available opportunities
and update site profiles. The Health
Workforce Connector provides a central
platform to connect participants,
including those in both the NHSC and
Nurse Corps programs, and facilities
that are approved for performance of
their NHSC or Nurse Corps service
obligation. The Health Workforce
Connector has become a resource that
engages any health care professional or
student interested in providing primary
care services in underserved
communities and with facilities in need
of health care providers. The Health
Workforce Connector also allows users
to create a profile, search for NHSC and
Nurse Corps sites, find job and training
opportunities, search for other
clinicians who are similarly interested
in working with underserved
populations, and be searchable by Site
POCs. Individuals can use the Health
Workforce Connector’s search capability
with Google Maps.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Information will be
collected from users in the following
two ways:
(1) Account Creation: Creating an
account is optional, but to create an
account the user will be required to
enter their first name, last name, and
email address. Those are the only
mandatory fields in the profile account
creation process and will be used to
send an automated email allowing the
user to validate their login credentials.
This information will also be used to
validate any users who already exist
within the Bureau of Health Workforce
Management Information Systems
Solution (BMISS) database and allow an
initial import of existing data at the
request of the user.
(2) Profile Completion: Users may fill
out a profile, but this function will be
completely optional and will include
fields such as location, discipline,
specialty, and languages spoken. The
information collected, if ‘published’ by
the user, will allow internal BMISS Site
POCs to search for anyone who may be
a potential candidate for job
opportunities at the site. Users also have
the ability to make their profiles
searchable by other end users through a
security and privacy setting and can
make their profiles private at any time.
All information collected will be stored
within existing secure BMISS databases
and will be used internally for report
generation on an as-needed basis.
Likely Respondents: Potential users
will include individuals searching for a
health care job opportunity or an NHSC
or Nurse Corps health care facility, and
