FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amber Sanford, Office of Operations, Food and Drug Administration, Three White Flint North, 10A-12M, 11601 Landsdown St., North Bethesda, MD 20852, 301-796-8867, *PRAStaff@fda.hhs.gov.* 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. Center for Devices and Radiological Health Appeals Processes OMB Control Number 0910-0738—Extension The guidance document entitled “Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff; Center for Devices and Radiological Health Appeals Processes” 1 describes the processes available to outside stakeholders to request additional review of decisions or actions by Center for Devices and Radiological Health

(CDRH)employees. FDA is seeking approval for the reporting burden associated with requests for additional review of decisions and actions by CDRH employees as described in the guidance. 1 *https://www.fda.gov/ucm/groups/fdagov-public/@fdagov-meddev-gen/documents/document/ucm284670.pdf.* Individuals outside of FDA who disagree with a decision or action taken by CDRH and wish to have it reviewed or reconsidered have several processes for resolution from which to choose, including requests for supervisory review of an action, petitions, and hearings. Of these, by far the most commonly used is a request for supervisory review under § 10.75 (21 CFR 10.75) (“10.75 appeal”). Section 517A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360g-1), added by section 603 of the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act, includes requirements pertaining to the process and timelines for 10.75 appeals of “significant decisions” regarding 510(k) premarket notifications, applications for premarket approvals (PMAs), and applications for investigational device exemptions (IDEs). A request for review under § 10.75 should be based on the information that was already present in the administrative file at the time of the decision that is being reviewed as provided in § 10.75(d). Section 517A of the FD&C Act refers to significant decisions regarding the information in the administrative file for premarket notification (section 510(k) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360(k))), PMA (section 515 (21 U.S.C. 360e)), and IDE (section 520(g) (21 U.S.C. 360j(g))) submissions that is collected under existing regulations that specify the information manufacturers must submit so that FDA may properly evaluate the safety and effectiveness of medical devices. The information collections associated with these regulations are currently approved by the OMB as follows: The collections of information in 21 CFR part 807, subpart E (premarket notification) have been approved under OMB control number 0910-0120; the collections of information in 21 CFR part 814 (premarket approval) have been approved under OMB control number 0910-0231; and the collections of information in 21 CFR part 812 (investigational device exemption) have been approved under OMB control number 0910-0078. While CDRH already possesses in the administrative file the information that would form the basis of a decision on a matter under appeal, the submission of particular information regarding the request itself and the data and information relied on by the requestor in the appeal would facilitate timely resolution of the decision under review. The guidance describes the collection of information not expressly specified under existing regulations such as the submission of the request for review, minor clarifications as part of the request, and supporting information. In the **Federal Register** of March 8, 2019 (84 FR 8530), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. No comments were received. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: Table 1—Estimated Annual Reporting Burden 1 Activity Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent Total annual responses Average burden per response Total hours CDRH Appeals Processes Guidance Document 35 1 35 8 280 1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. Our estimated burden for the information collection reflects a decrease of 15 responses and a corresponding overall decrease of 120 hours. We attribute this adjustment to a decrease in the number of submissions we received over the last few years. Dated: July 12, 2019. Lowell J. Schiller, Principal Associate Commissioner for Policy.
