The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (FD&C Act) establishes the
following three categories (classes) of
devices, reflecting the regulatory
controls needed to provide reasonable
assurance of their safety and
effectiveness: Class I (general controls),
class II (special controls), and class III
(premarket approval) (section 513(a)(1)
of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360c(a)(1)).
To change a device classification, FDA
can initiate a reclassification, or an
interested person can petition FDA to
reclassify a device based on new

information (section 513(e) of the FD&C
Act). On July 9, 2012, the Food and
Drug Administration Safety and
Innovation Act (FDASIA) was enacted,
changing the reclassification process
under section 513(e) of the FD&C Act
from rulemaking to an administrative
order process. To reclassify a device
under section 513(e) of the FD&C Act,
FDA must do the following before
making the reclassification final: (1)
Publish a proposed order in the Federal
Register that includes the proposed
reclassification and a summary of the
valid scientific evidence that supports
the reclassification, (2) convene a device
classification panel meeting, and (3)
consider comments from the relevant
public docket.
FDASIA also amended the provisions
of the FD&C Act authorizing FDA to
require submission of a premarket
approval application (PMA) for a
preamendments class III device (referred
to as a ‘‘call for PMAs’’).
Preamendments devices are devices that
were in commercial distribution before
the enactment of the 1976 Amendments.
Under the FD&C Act, preamendments
devices classified into class III may be
marketed upon clearance of a 510(k)
submission, and submission of a PMA is
not required until FDA has issued a
final order requiring premarket approval
(section 515(b) of the FD&C Act (21
U.S.C. 360e(b)). As amended by
FDASIA, the FD&C Act requires that
FDA, in its call for PMAs, publish a
proposed order in the Federal Register,
hold a classification panel meeting, and
E:\FR\FM\29DEN1.SGM
29DEN1
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:
