SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521), 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.
Information Sharing Among Constituent Part Applicants--21 CFR 4.103
OMB Control Number 0910-0834--Extension
This information collection request applies to ``constituent part
applicants'' as defined under 21 CFR 4.101 (i.e., any person holding an
application under which a constituent part (drug, device, or biological
product) of a combination product received marketing authorization if
the other constituent part(s) received marketing authorization under an
application held by a different person). Under this collection,
constituent part applicants must share safety information they receive
related to certain events with the other constituent part applicant(s)
and maintain associated records.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The Postmarketing Safety Reporting (PMSR) information
collections for drugs, biological products, and devices found in
Sec. Sec. 314.80, 314.81, 600.80, 600.81, 606.170, 606.171, 803.50,
803.53, 803.56, 806.10, and 806.20 (21 CFR 314.80, 314.81, 600.80,
600.81, 606.170, 606.171, 803.50, 803.53, 803.56, 806.10, and
806.20) have already been approved and are in effect or their
extension is being sought separately as required, including with
respect to burden for combination products (reflected in the
authorization for OMB control number 0910-0834, but, therefore, not
addressed in this extension request). The pertinent PMSR information
collection provisions for Sec. 314.80(c) and (e), as well as for
Sec. 314.81(b) are approved under OMB control numbers 0910-0001,
0910-0230, and 0910-0291. The information collection provisions for
Sec. Sec. 600.80 and 600.81 are approved under OMB control number
0910-0308. Those for Sec. 606.170 are approved under OMB control
number 0910-0116. Those for Sec. 606.171 are approved under OMB
control number 0910-0458. The information collection provisions for
Sec. Sec. 803.50, 803.53, and 803.56 are approved under OMB control
numbers 0910-0291 and 0910-0437. The information collection
provisions for Sec. Sec. 806.10 and 806.20 are approved under OMB
control number 0910-0359.

FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as

Based on a review of the information collection since our last
request for OMB approval, we have made no adjustments to our burden
estimate. We note in this regard that FDA extended the compliance date
for 21 CFR part 4, subpart B, until July 2020 for most combination
products, and until January 2021 for the remainder, in response to
stakeholder feedback, to ensure that Combination Product Applicants
have sufficient time to update reporting and recordkeeping systems and
procedures.\2\ Consequently, entities subject to this rule have not yet
had to comply with this information request.
