FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jessica Paulsen, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 66, Rm. 2108, Silver Spring, MD 20993–0002, 301–796–6883. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background In February 2015, FDA published a final order requiring the submission of premarket approval (PMA) applications for new and existing AEDs and necessary AED accessories. The final order required the submission of a PMA application for any preamendments and substantially equivalent AED necessary accessory—such as batteries, pad electrodes, adapters, and hardware keys for pediatric use—within 90 days of the date of the final order; however, the final order also stated that FDA did not intend to enforce compliance with the PMA submission requirement for these necessary AED accessories for 60 months following the date of the final order, which was February 3, 2020. For the reasons described in the guidance, at this time FDA does not intend to enforce compliance with the PMA submission requirement for these necessary AED accessories until February 3, 2022. This guidance is being implemented without prior public comment because the Agency has determined that prior public participation is not feasible or appropriate (see section 701(h)(1)(C) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 371(h)(1)(C)) and 21 CFR 10.115(g)(2)). FDA has determined that this guidance document presents a less burdensome policy that is consistent with public health. Although this guidance is immediately in effect, FDA will consider all comments received and revise the guidance document as appropriate. 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 Necessary Automated External Defibrillator Accessories: Policy Regarding Compliance Date. 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. Electronic Access Persons interested in obtaining a copy of the guidance may do so by downloading an electronic copy from the internet. A search capability for all III. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 While this guidance contains no collection of information, it does refer to previously approved collections of information. Therefore, clearance by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3521) is not required for this guidance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Information Collection Request Title: Enhancing Linkage of Sexually Transmitted Infection and Human Immunodeficiency Virus Surveillance Data in the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Evaluation, OMB No. 0906– xxxx–NEW Abstract: HRSA’s Ryan White HIV/ AIDS Program (RWHAP) funds and coordinates with cities, states, and local clinics/community-based organizations to deliver efficient and effective Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) care, treatment, and support to low-income people with HIV. Nearly two-thirds of clients (patients) live at or below 100 percent of the Federal poverty level and approximately three-quarters of RWHAP clients are racial and ethnic minorities. Since 1990, the RWHAP has developed a comprehensive system of HIV service providers who deliver high quality direct health care and support services to over half a million people with HIV— more than 50 percent of all people with diagnosed HIV in the United States. HRSA’s HIV/AIDS Bureau is conducting a multi-year evaluation of the Enhancing Linkage of Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) and HIV Surveillance Data in the RWHAP (Enhancing STI Linkage) demonstration project. The Enhancing STI Linkage demonstration project is a capacity building cooperative agreement that seeks to improve linkage, re-engagement in care, and health outcomes for people with HIV in the RWHAP. Through this demonstration project, a Technical Assistance Provider is collaborating with four RWHAP Part B jurisdictions to provide them with tailored training and technical assistance to facilitate data sharing across STI and HIV surveillance systems. A persistent barrier to addressing HIV and STI infections simultaneously and jointly is the lack of data systems linking HIV and STI surveillance data. Aside from helping to address problems around coinfection, there are substantial opportunities— particularly for the RWHAP—associated with linking HIV and STI surveillance data, including, but not limited to, identifying people with HIV currently out of care and identifying people with STIs who could be tested for HIV and promptly linked to care. This clearance request is for approval of data collection activities associated with the Enhancing STI Linkage evaluation which will occur simultaneously with the demonstration project, over a 3-year project period. A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on August 20, 2020, vol. 85 No. 162; pp. 51454–51455. There were no public comments. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: This mixed methods evaluation will assess the achievement and effectiveness of the Enhancing STI Linkage demonstration project. HRSA will collect quantitative and qualitative data to inform the HRSA on how to enhance jurisdictions’ use of STI and HIV surveillance data to improve service delivery and HIV-related health outcomes. Information gleaned from the Enhancing STI Linkage evaluation may be used to enhance and coordinate health departments’ responses to HIV and STI epidemics and affect change in HIV care continuum outcomes. Likely Respondents: Multiple respondents from four HRSA RWHAP Part B recipients, including data endusers identified by the Part B recipients within their jurisdiction. Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the information requested. This includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
