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.

Electronic Submission of Medical Device Registration and Listing--21 
CFR Part 807, Subparts A Through E; OMB Control Number 0910-0625--
Extension

    Under section 510 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the 
FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360) and part 807, subparts A through D (21 CFR 
part 807, subparts A through D), medical device establishment owners 
and operators are required to electronically submit establishment 
registration and device listing information.
    Complete and accurate registration and listing information is 
necessary to accomplish a number of statutory and regulatory 
objectives, such as: (1) Identification of establishments producing 
marketed medical devices, (2) identification of establishments 
producing a specific device when that device is in short supply or is 
needed for national emergency, (3) facilitation of recalls for devices 
marketed by owners and operators of device establishments, (4) 
identification and cataloguing of marketed devices, (5) administering 
postmarketing surveillance programs for devices, (6) identification of 
devices marketed in violation of the law, (7) identification and 
control of devices imported into the country from foreign 
establishments, (8) and scheduling and planning inspections of 
registered establishments under section 704 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 
374)
    Respondents to this information collection are owners or operators 
of establishments that engage in the manufacturing, preparation, 
propagation, compounding, or processing of a device or devices, who 
must register their establishments and submit listing information for 
each of their devices in commercial distribution. Notwithstanding 
certain exceptions, foreign device establishments that manufacture, 
prepare, propagate, compound, or process a device that is imported or 
offered for import into the United States must also comply with the 
registration and listing requirements. The number of respondents is 
based on data from the FDA Unified Registration and Listing System.
    Burden estimates are based on recent experience with the existing 
medical device registration and listing program, electronic system 
operating experience, and the economic analysis for the final

rule entitled ``Implementation of Device Registration and Listing 
Requirements Enacted in the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism 
Preparedness and Response Act of 2002, the Medical Device User Fee and 
Modernization Act of 2002, and Title II of the Food and Drug 
Administration Amendments Act of 2007.''
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:
