SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of June 26, 1996 (61 FR 33232), FDA issued a final rule implementing the provisions of the Safe Medical Devices Act (the SMDA) regarding Humanitarian Use Devices (HUD's). The final rule contained information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3507). In compliance with section 3507 of the PRA, FDA has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance: Title: Medical Devices; Humanitarian Use Devices. Description: This regulation implements the provision of the SMDA regarding HUD's. A HUD is exempt from the effectiveness requirements of sections 514 and 515 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360d and 360e). In order to implement this exemption, FDA is amending the premarket approval regulations in 21 CFR part 814 by creating new subpart H. This final regulation prescribes the procedures for submitting Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) applications, amendments and supplements; procedures for obtaining an extension of the exemption; and the criteria for FDA review and approval of HDE's. This final rule will create a needed incentive for the development of devices for use in the treatment or diagnosis of diseases or conditions affecting a small number of individuals.
