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.
Medical Device Labeling Regulations
OMB Control No. 0910-0485-Revision
This information collection supports implementation of medical device labeling requirements governed by section 502 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 352), codified in Agency regulations, and discussed in associated Agency guidance. Medical device labeling requirements, among other things, provide for the label or labeling content of a medical device so that it is not misbranded and subject to regulatory action. Certain provisions under section 502 of the FD&C Act require that manufacturers, importers, and distributors of medical devices disclose information about themselves or the devices on the labels or labeling for the devices. Section 502 provides, in part, that a device shall be misbranded if, among other things, its label or labeling fails to bear certain required information concerning the device, is false or misleading in any particular way, or fails to contain adequate directions for use. Medical device labeling regulations in parts 800, 801, 809, and associated regulations in parts 660 and 1040 (21 CFR parts 660, 800, 801, 809, and 1040), prescribe the disclosure of specific information by manufacturers, importers, and distributors of medical devices about themselves and/or the devices, on the label or labeling for the devices, to health professionals and consumers.
In conjunction with provisions in part 800, part 801, subpart A sets forth general labeling provisions applicable to all medical devices, including content and format requirements pertaining to intended uses, adequate directions for use, misleading statements, and the prominence of required labeling. Provisions found in part 801, subpart B pertaining to labeling requirements for Unique Device Identification are currently approved under OMB control number 0910-0720 and not covered in this information collection request. Information collection associated with labeling requirements for Over-the-Counter (OTC) Devices are found in part 801, subpart C, and cover principal display panel; statement of identity; declaration of net quantity of contents; and certain warning statement elements. Information collection associated with exemptions from adequate directions for use and other exemptions are found in part 801, subparts D and E, respectively. Information collection associated with special labeling requirements applicable to specific devices are found in part 801, subpart H. We also include information collection associated with labeling for in vitro diagnostic products for human use, as set forth in part 809, subpart B. In addition to the labeling requirements in part 801 and the certification and identification requirements of 21 CFR 1010.2 and 1010.3, sunlamp products and ultraviolet lamps are subject to specific labeling requirements as set forth in part 1040.
The information collection also includes provisions associated with stand-alone symbols (not accompanied by explanatory text adjacent to the symbol), when accompanied by a symbols glossary, as set forth in part 660, additional standards for diagnostic substances for laboratory standards for biological products, subparts A, C, D, E, and F. The requirements are also found in the general medical device labeling regulations part 801, subpart A, and part 809, subpart B.
[top] The information collection also helps to implement section 502(b) of the FD&C Act which requires that, for packaged devices, labeling must bear the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor; and an accurate statement of the quantity of the contents. Section 502(f) of the FD&C Act requires also that the labeling for a device must contain adequate directions for use unless FDA grants an exemption. Section 502(u) requires reprocessed single-use devices (SUDs) to bear prominently and conspicuously the name of the manufacturer, a generally recognized abbreviation of such name, or a unique and generally recognized symbol identifying the manufacturer. Under this provision, if the original SUD or an attachment to it prominently and conspicuously bears the name of the manufacturer, then the reprocessor of the SUD is required to identify itself by
In the Federal Register of July 13, 2021 (86 FR 36752), FDA 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:

Our figures are based on data from the FDA Unified Registration and Listing System and the OASIS shipment information. FDA regulations allow for the use of stand-alone graphical representations of information, or symbols, in the labeling for the medical devices and diagnostic substances for laboratory standards, if the symbol has been established in a Standards Development Organization developed standard, provided that such symbol is explained in a symbols glossary that is included in the labeling for the medical device and otherwise complies with section 502 (misbranding) of the FD&C Act. These labeling requirements are set forth in part 660, subparts A, C, D, E, and F, in the additional standards for diagnostic substances for laboratory standards for biological products, including: General requirements (§?660.2), using antibody to Hepatitis B surface antigen (§?660.28), blood grouping reagent (§?660.35), reagent red blood cells (§?660.45), Hepatitis B surface antigen (§?660.45); and anti-human globulin (§?660.55). The requirements are also found in the general medical device labeling regulations part 801, subpart A and in the in vitro diagnostic product labeling regulations part 809, subpart B.

Because many labeling provisions correspond to specific recordkeeping requirements, we have accounted for burden attendant to the provisions enumerated in table 3 as third-party disclosures. These figures reflect what we believe to be the average burden incurred by respondents to applicable information collection activities.
Overall, the information collection reflects changes and adjustments. For efficiency of operations, we have consolidated related information collection previously approved under OMB control numbers 0910-0577 and 0910-0740. This results in an increase to the information collection by 15,095 burden hours annually (for reporting and disclosure burden related to the symbols glossary regulatory requirements and disclosure burden related to Section 502(u)). We have increased our estimate of the total responses by 21,647,170 annually. The increase is due to adjustments reflecting updated data and the inclusion of the consolidated information collection. At the same time, we have reduced our estimate of disclosure responses by 1,597,520 annually. Upon review, we believe we previously double-counted burden ascribed to disclosures provisions having accounted for the same burden as that associated with recordkeeping activities. Finally, upon submission of the ICR, we are correcting inadvertent calculation errors to the burden hour increase (by adding 12,000 burden hours to account for disclosure of the symbols glossary) and decrease in total responses displayed in our 60-day notice in the Federal Register of July 13, 2021.
