Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection: Public Comment Request SHIP COVID-19 Testing and Mitigation Program Data Collection, 74095-74096 [2021-28268]

Download as PDF 74095 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 247 / Wednesday, December 29, 2021 / Notices consider comments on the proposed order (section 515(b) of the FD&C Act, as amended by FDASIA). Under the FD&C Act, FDA’s call for PMAs must, among other things, contain an opportunity for interested persons to request a change in the classification of the device based on new information (section 515(b)(2) of the FD&C Act). After consideration of comments on the proposed order and findings, FDA must either: (1) Finalize the call for PMAs by issuing an administrative order requiring approval of a PMA and publishing in the Federal Register findings with respect to: (i) The degree of risk of illness or injury designed to be eliminated or reduced by requiring the device to have an approved PMA or a declared completed product development protocol and (ii) the benefit to the public from the use of the device; or (2) publish a notice in the Federal Register terminating the proceeding and initiate a reclassification proceeding based on new information (section 515(b)(3) of the FD&C Act, as amended by FDASIA; see section 513(e) of the FD&C Act). The FD&C Act, as amended by FDASIA, now requires the use of administrative orders, rather than rulemaking, when FDA calls for PMAs for a preamendments device remaining in class III (section 515(b) of the FD&C Act, as amended by FDASIA). FDA refers to a device that was not in commercial distribution before the 1976 Amendments as a postamendments device. Postamendments devices are classified automatically into class III by statute, without any rulemaking process (section 513(f)(1) of the FD&C Act). A postamendments device remains in class III and is subject to the PMA requirements unless and until: (1) FDA reclassifies the device into class I or II; (2) FDA issues an order classifying the device into class I or II via the De Novo classification process (see section 513(f)(2) of the FD&C Act); or (3) FDA issues an order finding the device to be substantially equivalent to a predicate device that does not require the filing of a PMA (see section 513(i) of the FD&C Act). FDA may initiate, or the manufacturer or importer of a device may petition for, the reclassification of a postamendments device classified into class III by operation of law (section 513(f)(3) of the FD&C Act). This FDAinitiated reclassification process consists of a proposed reclassification order, optional panel consultation, and a final reclassification order published in the Federal Register following consideration of comments and any panel recommendations or comments (§ 860.134(c) (21 CFR 860.134(c))). The reclassification order may, as appropriate, establish special controls to provide reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device (§ 860.134(d)). Under the 1976 Amendments, Congress classified all those devices previously regulated as new drugs into class III (generally referred to as transitional devices). Under the FD&C Act, FDA may initiate, or the manufacturer or importer of a device may petition for, the reclassification of a transitional device remaining in class III (section 520(l)(2) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360j(l)(2)). The process for reclassification of transitional devices initiated by FDA is detailed in 21 CFR ?860.136(c). This process consists of a proposed reclassification order, optional panel consultation, and a final reclassification order published in the Federal Register following consideration of comments and any panel recommendations or comments. In the Federal Register of September 7, 2021 (86 FR 50132), we published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. No comments were received. We estimate the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN 1 § 860.123; supporting data for reclassification petitions ...... 1 There Number of responses per respondent Number of respondents 21 CFR section; information collection activity 6 1 6 Total hours 497 2,982 are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. Based on a review of the information collection since our last request for OMB approval, we have made no adjustments to our burden estimate. Dated: December 22, 2021. Lauren K.
