Product Jurisdiction: Assignment of Agency Component for Review of 
Premarket Applications--(OMB Control Number 0910-0523)--Extension

    This regulation relates to Agency management and organization and 
has two purposes. The first is to implement section 503(g) of the 
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 353(g)), as added by 
the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-629), and amended by 
the Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-
250), by specifying how FDA will determine the organizational component 
within FDA assigned to have primary jurisdiction for the premarket 
review and regulation of products that are comprised of any combination 
of: (1) A drug and a device; (2) a device and a biological product; (3) 
a biological product and a drug; or (4) a drug, a device, and a 
biological product. The second purpose of this regulation is to enhance 
the efficiency of Agency management and operations by providing 
procedures for classifying and determining which Agency component is 
designated to have primary jurisdiction for any drug, device, or 
biological product where such jurisdiction is unclear or in dispute.
    The regulation establishes a procedure by which an applicant may 
obtain an assignment or designation determination. The regulation 
requires that the request include the identity of the applicant, a 
comprehensive description of the product and its proposed use, and the 
applicant's recommendation as to which Agency component should have 
primary jurisdiction, with an accompanying statement of reasons. The 
information submitted would be used by FDA as the basis for making the 
assignment or designation decision. Most information required by the 
regulation is already required for premarket applications affecting 
drugs, devices, biological products, and combination products. The 
respondents will be businesses or other for-profit organizations.
    In the Federal Register of May 2, 2013 (78 FR 25746), 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:
