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.

Medical Device Recall Authority

OMB Control Number 0910-0432--Extension

    This collection of information implements section 518(e) of the 
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360h(e)) and 
part 810 (21 CFR part 810), mandatory medical device recall authority 
provisions. Section 518(e) of the FD&C Act provides FDA with the 
authority to issue an order requiring an appropriate person, including 
manufacturers, importers, distributors, and retailers of a device, if 
FDA finds that there is reasonable probability that the device intended 
for human use would cause serious adverse health consequences or death, 
to: (1) Immediately cease distribution of such device and (2) 
immediately notify health professionals and device-user facilities of 
the order and to instruct such professionals and facilities to cease 
use of such device.
    FDA will then provide the person named in the cease distribution 
and notification order with the opportunity for an informal hearing on 
whether the order should be amended to require a mandatory recall of 
the device.
    If, after providing the opportunity for an informal hearing, FDA 
determines that such an order is necessary, the Agency may amend the 
order to require a mandatory recall.
    FDA issued part 810 to implement the provisions of section 518 of 
the FD&C Act. The information collected under the mandatory recall 
authority provisions will be used by FDA to implement mandatory 
recalls.
    In the Federal Register of February 22, 2018 (83 FR 7740), 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:
