To comply with this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information set forth in this document. With respect to the following collection of information, FDA invites comments on these topics:
(1)Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's functions, including whether the information will have practical utility;
(2)the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
(3)ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(4)ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information technology. Survey of Need for Online Medical Device Information Executive Order 12862 directs agencies to identify the customers who are, or should be, served by the agency, and to survey customers to determine the kind and quality of services they want. This proposed survey will collect data about the information customers want when looking up medical devices on the Internet. It will focus on the ways individuals find, use, and rate existing sources of online medical device information. FDA will use this data to understand more about its customers and to make improvements to its own Web site. FDA will administer this survey to individuals who use the Internet to look for information about medical devices. The survey will consist of three components: A screening tool of 5,000 to identify appropriate respondents, an online survey of 500 customers, and a telephone followup interview with 50 customers. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: **Table 1.—Estimated Annual Reporting Burden** 1 Activity No. of Respondents Annual Frequency per Response Total Annual Responses Hours per Response Total Hours Screening tool 5,000 1 5,000 .05 250 Online survey 500 1 500 .25 125 Telephone followup 50 1 50 .5 25 Total 400 1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.
