ADDRESSES: To ensure that comments on the information collection are 
received, OMB recommends that written comments be faxed to the Office 
of Information and Regulatory Affairs, OMB, Attn: FDA Desk Officer, 
FAX: 202-395-7285, or e-mailed to [email protected]. All 
comments should be identified with the OMB control number 0910-0309. 
Also include the FDA docket number found in brackets in the heading of

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Daniel Gittleson, Office of 
Information Management, Food and Drug Administration, 1350 Piccard Dr., 
PI50-400B, Rockville, MD 20850, 301-796-5156, 
[email protected].

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.

The Mammography Quality Standards Act Requirements--21 CFR Part 900 
(OMB Control Number 0910-0309)--Extension

    The Mammography Quality Standards Act requires the establishment of 
a Federal certification and inspection program for mammography 
facilities;

[[Page 33812]]

regulations and standards for accreditation and certification bodies 
for mammography facilities; and standards for mammography equipment, 
personnel, and practices, including quality assurance. The intent of 
these regulations is to assure safe, reliable, and accurate mammography 
on a nationwide level. Under the regulations, as a first step in 
becoming certified, mammography facilities must become accredited by an 
FDA-approved accreditation body. This requires undergoing a review of 
their clinical images and providing the accreditation body with 
information showing that they meet the equipment, personnel, quality 
assurance and quality control standards, and have a medical reporting 
and recordkeeping program, a medical outcomes audit program, and a 
consumer compliant mechanism. On the basis of this accreditation, 
facilities are then certified by FDA or an FDA approved State 
certification agency and must prominently display their certificate. 
These actions are taken to ensure safe, accurate, and reliable 
mammography on a nationwide basis. The following sections of title 21 
of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) were not included in the 
previously mentioned burden tables because they were considered usual 
and customary practice and were part of the standard of care prior to 
the implementation of the regulations. Therefore, they resulted in no 
additional reporting or recordkeeping burden: 21 CFR 900.12(c)(1) and 
(c)(3) and 21 CFR 900.3(f)(1). Section 900.3(c) was not included in the 
previously mentioned burden tables because all four existing 
accreditation bodies are approved until late in 2013; so, no applicants 
will reapply during the requested information collection period. 
Section 900.24(c) was also not included in the previously mentioned 
burden tables because if a certifying state had its approval withdrawn, 
FDA would take over certifying authority for the affected facilities. 
Because FDA already has all the certifying state's electronic records, 
there wouldn't be an additional reporting burden.
    In the Federal Register of March 11, 2010 (75 FR 11542), 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:
