Download as PDF lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 130 / Monday, July 10, 2023 / Notices announced advisory committee meeting cannot always be published quickly enough to provide timely notice. Therefore, you should always check FDA’s website at https://www.fda.gov/ AdvisoryCommittees/default.htm and scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting link or call the advisory committee information line to learn about possible modifications before the meeting. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Agenda: The meeting presentations will be heard, viewed, captioned, and recorded through an online teleconferencing and/or video conferencing platform. The committee will discuss dosimetry data needed to support the initial clinical study in an original investigational new drug (IND) application for certain new positron emission tomography (PET) drugs. FDA would like to obtain the committee’s input on the following: (1) the sufficiency of available data from animal or human studies involving certain positron emitting radionuclides (e.g., C11, F18) to allow a reasonable calculation of radiation-absorbed dose to the whole body and critical organs upon administration of a new PET drug containing certain radionuclides to a human subject in first-in-human studies; and (2) the reasonableness of a proposed list of numerical radioactivity thresholds for new PET drugs containing these radionuclides, such that Phase 1 studies that will both (a) administer sub-threshold activities and (b) obtain sufficient human data for dosimetry calculations may be found safe-to-proceed in the absence of dosimetry data based on prior animal administration of the new PET drug under investigation. FDA intends to make background material available to the public no later than 2 business days before the meeting. If FDA is unable to post the background material on its website prior to the meeting, the background material will be made publicly available on FDA’s website at the time of the advisory committee meeting. Background material and the link to the online teleconference and/or video conference meeting will be available at https:// www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/ Calendar/default.htm. Scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting link.

Manufacturers of HCT/Ps regulated solely under the authority of section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (the PHS Act) (42 U.S.C. 264) are required to register and list HCT/Ps pursuant to part 1271 (21 CFR part 1271) whether or not the HCT/P enters into interstate commerce. Manufacturers of HCT/Ps regulated as drugs, devices and/or biological products under section 351 of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 262) and/or section 201 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 321), are required to register and list HCT/Ps following the procedures in part 207 (21 CFR part 207) (if a drug and/or biological product) or part 807 (21 CFR part 807) (if a device). Information collection associated with the registration and listing requirements in parts 207 and 807 are currently approved in OMB control numbers 0910–0045 and 0910–0625, respectively. Agency regulations in part 1271 set forth general provisions applicable to HCT/Ps in subpart A (§§ 1271.1 through 1271.20). Those HCT/Ps that are regulated solely under the authority of section 361 of the PHS Act are described in § 1271.10. Provisions in part 1271, subpart B (§§ 1271.21 through 1271.37), establish procedures for registration and listing including format and content elements along with scheduled timeframes for the submission of certain information and action by FDA. The regulations also provide for waivers from the electronic format requirement, amendments to establishment registration, and requesting information on registration and listing from FDA. Registrants use Form FDA 3356, Establishment Registration and Listing for HCT/Ps, to submit HCT/P establishment registration and listing information to the Electronic Human Cell and Tissue Establishment Registration System (eHCTERS). Electronic submission of HCT/P establishment and product listing information is required under § 1271.22. However, a request for waiver of the electronic submission requirement may be submitted pursuant to § 1271.23. If the waiver request is granted, Form FDA 3356 (and accompanying instructions) may be downloaded to complete and submit by mail. The Tissue Establishment Registration page (https:// www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/ biologics-establishment-registration/ tissue-establishment-registration) provides access to eHCTERS, instructions for using eHCTERS, and other resource information that may be helpful to respondents. Provisions in part 1271, subpart C (§§ 1271.45 through 1271.90), establish requirements for determining donor eligibility, including donor screening and testing, explaining these requirements are a component of current good tissue practice (CGTP) requirements set forth in part 1271, subpart D (§§ 1271.145 through 1271.320). The provisions in part 1271, subparts C and D, govern the methods used in, and the facilities and controls used for, the manufacture of HCT/Ps, including, but not limited to all steps in recovery, donor screening, donor testing, processing, storage, labeling, packaging, and distribution. The regulations in part 1271, subpart E and subpart F (§§ 1271.330 through 1271.440), establish additional requirements for establishments described in § 1271.10, including inspection and enforcement provisions, and recordkeeping requirements providing for the retention, notification to third parties, and disclosure of such records to FDA. In the Federal Register of April 19, 2023 (88 FR 24193), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. FDA received one comment in response to the notice. The comment was outside the scope of the four collection of information topics on which the notice solicited comments.

Our estimated burden for the information collection reflects an overall reduction of 150,137 hours and 347,843 responses annually, which corresponds to a decrease in the number HCT/P establishments and a decrease in the number HCT/Ps distributed since our last evaluation.

    This information collection helps support the implementation of 
statutory and regulatory requirements that govern certain human cells, 
tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/Ps). Manufacturers 
of HCT/Ps regulated solely under the authority of section 361 of the 
Public Health Service Act (the PHS Act) (42 U.S.C. 264) are required to 
register and list HCT/Ps pursuant to part 1271 (21 CFR part 1271) 
whether or not the HCT/P enters into interstate commerce. Manufacturers 
of HCT/Ps regulated as drugs, devices and/or biological products under 
section 351 of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 262) and/or section 201 of the 
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 321), are required to

to respondents.
    Provisions in part 1271, subpart C (Sec. Sec.  1271.45 through 
1271.90), establish requirements for determining donor eligibility, 
including donor screening and testing, explaining these requirements 
are a component of current good tissue practice (CGTP) requirements set 
forth in part 1271, subpart D (Sec. Sec.  1271.145 through 1271.320). 
The provisions in part 1271, subparts C and D, govern the methods used 
in, and the facilities and controls used for, the manufacture of HCT/
Ps, including, but not limited to all steps in recovery, donor 
screening, donor testing, processing, storage, labeling, packaging, and 
distribution.
    The regulations in part 1271, subpart E and subpart F (Sec. Sec.  
1271.330 through 1271.440), establish additional requirements for 
establishments described in Sec.  1271.10, including inspection and 
enforcement provisions, and recordkeeping requirements providing for 
the retention, notification to third parties, and disclosure of such 
records to FDA.

    Based on current data from eHCTERS, we estimate there are 2,374 
HCT/P current registrants and 157 new registrants, for a total of 2,531 
respondents annually. Information collection provisions that include 
reporting activities are identified in table 1. The estimated burden 
for each of the individual reporting activities was calculated based on

    To calculate burden associated with the establishment and 
maintenance of operating procedures in accordance with applicable CGTP 
requirements, we assume twice the time is necessary for new 
establishments. Burden we attribute to recordkeeping activities 
associated with the remaining provisions in part 1271 is assumed to be 
distributed among the individual elements and averaged among 
respondents.

    As part of the recordkeeping requirements, certain provisions in 
part 1271 require the disclosure of information to third parties, 
particularly as it pertains to the distribution of HCT/Ps. We estimate 
a proportion of the respondents to the information collection (1,611) 
will incur burden resulting from these disclosures and have therefore 
accounted for burden that may be attributable to these distinct 
activities.
    Our estimated burden for the information collection reflects an 
overall reduction of 150,137 hours and 347,843 responses annually, 
which corresponds to a decrease in the number HCT/P establishments and 
a decrease in the number HCT/Ps distributed since our last evaluation.

    Dated: July 3, 2023.

Associate Commissioner for Policy.
