Export Notification and Recordkeeping Requirements

OMB Control Number 0910-0482--Extension

    Sections 801 and 802 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 
(FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 381 and 382) charge the Secretary of Health and 
Human Services, through FDA, with the responsibility of helping to 
ensure that exports of unapproved new drugs, biologics, devices, animal 
drugs, food, cosmetics, and tobacco products that are not to be sold in 
the United States meet the requirements of the country to which the 
product is to be exported. The respondents to this information 
collection are exporters who have notified FDA of their intent to 
export unapproved products that may not be sold or offered for sale in 
domestic commerce in the United States as allowed under section 801(e) 
of the FD&C Act. In general, the notification

[[Page 24322]]

identifies the product being exported (e.g., name, description, and in 
some cases, country of destination) and specifies where the 
notifications were sent. These notifications are sent only for an 
initial export. Subsequent exports of the same product to the same 
destination or to certain countries identified in section 802(b) of the 
FD&C Act would not result in a notification to FDA.
    Respondents to the information collection are exporters of products 
that may not be sold in the United States and are regulated by FDA's 
Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER); Center for Biologics 
Evaluation and Research (CBER); Center for Devices and Radiological 
Health (CDRH); Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM); Center for Food 
Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN); and Center for Tobacco Products. 
Respondents to this collection of information maintain records 
demonstrating their compliance with the requirements in 21 CFR 1.101.
    In the Federal Register of January 25, 2022 (87 FR 3811), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. No comments were received.
    We estimate the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

    Based on a review of Agency data, we decreased our estimate by 
24,251 burden hours. This decrease reflects an overall downward trend 
in the number of export certification requests across programs and 
commodities. The estimate for tobacco products remains steady.
