Establishment Registration and Product Listing for Manufacturers of 
Human Blood and Blood Products and Licensed Devices--21 CFR Part 607

OMB Control Number 0910-0052--Extension

    This information collection supports Agency regulations. Under 
section 510 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 
360), any person owning or operating an establishment that 
manufactures, prepares, propagates, compounds, or processes a drug or 
device must register with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, 
on or before December 31 of each year, his or her name, places of 
business, and all such establishments, among other information and must 
submit a listing of all drug and device products manufactured, 
prepared, propagated, compounded, or processed by him or her for 
commercial distribution, among other information. In part 607 (21 CFR 
part 607), FDA has issued regulations implementing these requirements 
for manufacturers of human blood and blood products.
    The regulations set forth procedures and requirements pertaining to 
establishment registration and product listing for manufacturers of 
human blood and blood products and licensed devices, including initial 
registration, annual registration, product listing updates, and waiver 
requests. Owners or operators of certain establishments that engage in 
the manufacture of blood products shall register and submit a list of 
every blood product in commercial distribution (Sec.  607.20(a)). 
Initial and subsequent registrations and product listings must be 
submitted electronically through FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation 
and Research (CBER) Blood Establishment Registration and Product 
Listing system, or any future superseding electronic system, unless FDA 
has granted a request for waiver of this requirement prior to the date 
on which the information is due (Sec.  607.22(a)). Waiver requests must 
be submitted in writing and must include, among other information, the 
specific reasons why electronic submission is not reasonable for the 
registrant (Sec.  607.22(b)). Establishment registration and product 
listing information assists FDA in its inspections of facilities, among 
other uses, and its collection is essential to the overall regulatory 
scheme designed to ensure the safety of the Nation's blood supply.
    Description of Respondents: Respondents to this collection of 
information are human blood and plasma donor centers, blood banks, 
certain transfusion services, other blood product manufacturers, 
independent laboratories that engage in quality control and testing for 
registered blood product establishments and manufacturers of devices 
licensed under section 351 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 
262).
    In the Federal Register of February 18, 2021 (86 FR 10085), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. No comments were received.
    We estimate the burden of the information collection as follows:

\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

    Based on our evaluation of Fiscal Year 2019 data from CBER's Blood 
Establishment Registration and Product Listing system, we have adjusted 
the currently approved burden estimate we attribute to establishment 
registration and product listing to reflect a slight increase in 
submissions; however, the overall burden has not changed.

    Dated: June 3, 2021.

Acting Principal Associate Commissioner for Policy.
