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.

Premarket Notification--(OMB Control Number 0910-0120)--Extension

    Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the 
FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360(k)) and the implementing regulation under part 
807 (21 CFR part 807, subpart E) requires a person who intends to 
market a medical device to submit a premarket notification submission 
to FDA at least 90 days before proposing to begin the introduction, or 
delivery for introduction into interstate commerce, for commercial 
distribution of a device intended for human use. Based on the 
information provided in the notification, FDA must determine whether 
the new device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed 
device, as defined in Sec.  807.92(a)(3). If the device is determined 
to be not substantially equivalent to a legally marketed device, it 
must have an approved premarket approval application (PMA), product 
development protocol, humanitarian device exemption (HDE), petition for 
Evaluation of Automatic Class III Designation (de novo), or be 
reclassified into class I or class II before being marketed. FDA makes 
the final decision of whether a device is substantially equivalent or 
not equivalent.
    Section 807.81 states when a premarket notification is required. A 
premarket notification is required to be submitted by a person who is:
    (1) Introducing a device to the market for the first time;
    (2) introducing a device into commercial distribution for the first 
time by a person who is required to register; and
    (3) introducing or reintroducing a device which is significantly 
changed or modified in design, components, method of manufacturer, or 
the intended use that could affect the safety and effectiveness of the 
device.
    Form FDA 3514, a summary cover sheet form, assists respondents in 
categorizing administrative 510(k) information for submission to FDA. 
This form also assists respondents in categorizing information for 
other FDA medical device programs such as PMAs, investigational device 
exemptions, and HDEs. Under Sec.  807.87(h), each 510(k) submitter must 
include in the 510(k) either a summary of the information in the 510(k) 
as required by Sec.  807.92 (510(k) summary) or a statement certifying 
that the submitter will make available upon request the information in 
the 510(k) with certain exceptions as per Sec.  807.93 (510(k) 
statement). If the 510(k) submitter includes a 510(k) statement in the 
510(k) submission, Sec.  807.93 requires that the official 
correspondent of the firm make available within 30 days of a request 
all information included in the submitted premarket notification on 
safety and effectiveness. This information will be provided to any 
person within 30 days of a request if the device described in the 
510(k) submission is determined to be substantially equivalent. The 
information provided will be a duplicate of the 510(k) submission 
including any safety and effectiveness information, but excluding all 
patient identifiers and trade secret and commercial confidential 
information.
    Section 204 of the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act 
(FDAMA) (Pub. L. 105-115) amended section 514 of the FD&C Act (21 
U.S.C. 360d). Amended section 514 allows FDA to recognize consensus 
standards developed by international and national organizations for use 
in satisfying portions of device premarket review submissions including 
premarket notifications or other requirements. FDA has published and 
updated the list of recognized standards regularly since enactment of 
FDAMA and has allowed 510(k) submitters to certify conformance to 
recognized standards to meet the requirements of Sec.  807.87. Form FDA 
3654, the 510(k) Standards Data Form, standardizes the format for 
submitting information on consensus standards that a 510(k) submitter 
chooses to use as a portion of their premarket notification submission 
(Form FDA 3654 is not for declarations of conformance to a recognized 
standard). FDA believes that use of this form will simplify the 510(k)

preparation and review process for 510(k).
    Under Sec.  807.90, submitters may request information on their 
510(k) review status 90 days after the initial login date of the 
510(k). Thereafter, the submitter may request status reports every 30 
days following the initial status request. To obtain a 510(k) status 
report, the submitter should complete the status request form, Form FDA 
3541, and fax it to the Center for Devices and Radiological Health 
office identified on the form.
    The most likely respondents to this information collection will be 
specification developers and medical device manufacturers.
    In the Federal Register of July 23, 2013 (78 FR 44130), 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
