SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has

review and clearance.

Providing Information About Pediatric Uses of Medical Devices Under 
Section 515A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act

OMB Control Number 0910-0762--Extension

    The guidance document entitled ``Providing Information About 
Pediatric Uses of Medical Devices--Guidance for Industry and Food and 
Drug Administration Staff'' suggests that applicants who submit certain 
medical device applications include, if readily available, pediatric 
use information for diseases or conditions that the device is being 
used to treat, diagnose, or cure that are outside the device's approved 
or proposed indications for use, as well as an estimate of the number 
of pediatric patients with such diseases or conditions. The information 
submitted will allow FDA to identify pediatric uses of devices outside 
their approved or proposed indication for use to determine areas where 
further pediatric device development could be useful. This 
recommendation applies to applicants who submit the following 
applications: (1) Any request for a humanitarian device exemption 
submitted under section 520(m) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 
Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360j(m)); (2) any premarket approval 
application (PMA) or supplement to a PMA submitted under section 515 of 
the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360e); and (3) any product development protocol 
submitted under section 515 of the FD&C Act.
    Respondents are permitted to submit information relating to uses of 
the device outside the approved or proposed indication if such uses are 
described or acknowledged in acceptable sources of readily available 
information. We estimate that 20 percent of respondents submitting 
information required by section 515A of the FD&C Act will choose to 
submit this information and that it will take 30 minutes for them to do 
so.
    In the Federal Register of December 5, 2016 (81 FR 87575), 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:
