SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance. Reclassification Petitions for Medical Devices OMB Control Number 0910–0138— Extension 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 PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Date approval expires 0910–0206 0910–0432 9/30/2024 9/30/2024 0910–0799 9/30/2024 0910–0858 9/30/2024 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: 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has 
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for 
review and clearance.

Reclassification Petitions for Medical Devices

OMB Control Number 0910-0138--Extension

    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

[[Page 74095]]

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 FDA-initiated 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 (Sec.  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 
(Sec.  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:
