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.
Inspection by Accredited Persons Program Under the Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act of 2002-(OMB Control Number 0910-0510)-Extension
The Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act of 2002 (MDUFMA) (Pub. L. 107-250) was signed into law on October 26, 2002. Section 201 of MDUFMA adds a new paragraph (g) to section 704 of the Federal, Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 374), directing FDA to accredit third parties (accredited persons) to conduct inspections of eligible manufacturers of class II or class III devices. This is a voluntary program. FDA has a guidance document that provides information for those interested in participating in this program. The guidance is entitled "Implementation of the Inspection by Accredited Persons Program Under the Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act of 2002; Accreditation Criteria."
FDA based these estimates on conversations with industry, trade association representatives, and internal FDA estimates. Once an organization is accredited, it will not be required to reapply.
In the Federal Register of May 09, 2012 (77 FR 27234), 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:
| Section of the FD&C Act | Activity | Number of respondents | Number of responses per respondent | Total annual responses | Average burden per response | Total hours |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 704(g) | Request for accreditation | 1 | 1 | 1 | 80 | 80 |
| Total | 80 | |||||
| 1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. | ||||||
