Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, 
including each proposed extension of an existing collection of 
information, and to allow 60 days for public comment in response to the 
notice. This notice solicits comments on the notification and 
recordkeeping requirements for persons exporting human drugs, 
biological products, devices, animal drugs, food, and cosmetics that 
may not be marketed or sold in the United States.

DATES: Submit either electronic or written comments on the collection 
of information by February 4, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), 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.

Exports: Notification and Recordkeeping Requirements--21 CFR Part 1 
(OMB Control Number 0910-0482)--Extension

    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 FD&C 
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) 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 FD&C 
Act (21 U.S.C. 382)) would not result in a notification to FDA.
    The recordkeepers for this information collection export human 
drugs, biologics, devices, animal drugs, foods, and cosmetics that may 
not be sold in the United States and maintain records demonstrating 
their compliance with the requirements in section 801(e)(1) of the FD&C 
Act.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:
