SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521), Federal Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. "Collection of information" is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. 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.

[top] This information collection supports implementation of recommendations found in FDA guidance. As discussed in the document entitled "Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff; Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) Appeals Processes" (March 2022), there are various processes by which appeals requests regarding review of decisions or actions by CDRH may be submitted to the Agency. The guidance is available for download from our website at https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/center-devices-and-radiological-health-cdrh-appeals-processes. The guidance document provides general format and content recommendations in this regard, discusses applicable regulations with regard to the timing of such submissions, and 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. While CDRH already possesses in the
FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows:
| Activity | Number of respondents | Number of responses per respondent | Total annual responses | Average burden per response | Total hours |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CDRH Appeals Processes | 75 | 1 | 75 | 8 | 504 |
| 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 an overall increase of 320 hours and a corresponding increase of 40 responses/records. We attribute this adjustment to an increase in the number of submissions we received over the last few years.
