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.
    Exports: Notification and Recordkeeping Requirements--21 CFR Part 1 
(OMB Control Number 0910-0482)--Extension
    In the Federal Register of December 27, 2004 (69 FR 77255), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the information 
collection provisions. No comments were received.
    The total burden estimate of 43,214 is based on the number of 
notifications received by the relevant FDA centers in fiscal year 2004, 
or the last year the figures were available.
    The respondents to this information collection are exporters who 
have notified FDA of their intent to export unapproved products that 
may not be sold or marketed in the United States as allowed under 
section 801(e) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) 
(21 U.S.C. 381). In general, the notification identifies the product 
being exported (e.g., name, description, and, in some cases, country of 
destination)

[[Page 18031]]

 and specifies where the notification should be sent. These 
notifications are sent only for an initial export; subsequent exports 
of the same product to the same destination, or in the case of certain 
countries identified in section 802(b) of the act (21 U.S.C. 382), 
would not result in a notification to FDA.
    The recordkeepers for this information collection are exporters who 
export human drugs, biologics, devices, animal drugs, foods, and 
cosmetics that may not be sold in the United States to maintain records 
demonstrating their compliance with the requirements in section 
801(e)(1) of the act.
