Sunlamp Products; Proposed 
Amendment to Performance Standard 
AGENCY : Food and Drug Administration, 
HHS. 
ACTION : Proposed rule. 
SUMMARY : The Food and Drug 
Administration (FDA or Agency) is proposing to amend the performance standard for sunlamp products and ultraviolet (UV) lamps intended for use in these products. This standard was last amended in 1985. The current amendments seek to improve consumer safety by requiring more effective communication regarding the risks posed by these products. They also would reduce risks to consumers by updating technical requirements to reflect current science, and by adopting and incorporating by reference certain elements from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) International Standard 60335–2–27, Ed. 5.0: 2009–12.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
Executive Summary 
Purpose of the Regulatory Action 
The Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 
(Pub. L. 101–629), enacted on November 
28, 1990, transferred the provisions of the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968 (Pub. L. 90–602) from Title III of the Public Health Service Act to Chapter V, subchapter C of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360hh et seq.). Under these provisions, FDA administers an electronic product

radiation control program to protect the 
public health and safety. This authority provides for developing, amending, and administering radiation safety performance standards for electronic products, including sunlamp products. 
A sunlamp product is a device that 
emits UV radiation to induce tanning. The device incorporates one or more UV lamps as a radiation source. Examples of sunlamp products are tanning beds, which are used while lying down, and tanning booths, which are used while standing. UV radiation-emitting products not used for tanning would not be affected by this proposed rule. Devices emitting UV radiation to treat dermatological disorders are regulated separately and are not part of this proposed rule. As electronic products, sunlamp products are subject to the regulations for electronic product radiation control, including parts 1000 to 1010 (21 CFR parts 1000 through 1010) and § 1040.20 (21 CFR 1040.20). 
Sunlamp products emit UV radiation 
to induce tanning. The adverse effects of UV radiation are well known. UV radiation can cause acute injuries such as sunburns and eye irritations (e.g., photokeratitis). Long-term UV exposure has been associated with skin cancer (including squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and melanoma), skin aging, and cataracts. Epidemiological studies of the effects of UV radiation on incidence of cancer and other health problems are complicated by latency between exposure and disease, difficulty controlling for environmental exposure to UV radiation, and other factors. Nevertheless, a recent meta-analysis found an increase in the risk of melanoma for each additional session of sunlamp product use per year (Ref. 1). 
FDA is concerned about the safety 
risks from UV radiation. Therefore, FDA is updating our requirements for sunlamp products which allow for indoor exposure to UV radiation. There have been many changes in our understanding of how UV radiation interacts with human skin since FDA published the document entitled ‘‘Sunlamp Products; Performance Standard’’ in the Federal Register of September 6, 1985 (50 FR 36548). There have also been many changes in the indoor tanning industry which affect the 
type of equipment on the market and the measurement techniques used by manufacturers. FDA is updating requirements for sunlamp products to bring our regulations up to date with current science. FDA also wants to improve consumers’ understanding of the risks related to UV radiation exposure. Summary of the Major Provisions of the Regulatory Action in Question 
The objective of this proposed rule is 
to align the performance standards for sunlamp products with current scientific knowledge and our understanding of how these products are used. This proposed rule seeks to facilitate compliance, improve awareness among operators and consumers about risks of use, and ultimately improve public health. 
FDA proposes to incorporate certain 
elements of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) International Standard 60335–2–27, Ed. 5.0: 2009–12, ‘‘Household and Similar Electrical Appliances—Safety—Part 2– 27: Particular Requirements for Appliances for Skin Exposure to Ultraviolet and Infrared Radiation,’’ by reference. Harmonizing the FDA standard with the current IEC standard would bring it up to date with current science and better protect consumers from the risks posed by these devices. Harmonization would have benefits for sunlamp product manufacturers as well. Currently, many firms producing sunlamp products for sale within the United States and abroad have to follow both IEC and FDA standards. Aligning these standards would mean that such firms would need to comply with a single set of rules instead of two different ones, at least for the particular clauses which are being adopted and incorporated by reference. 
FDA proposes to amend the 
requirements of part 1002 as specified in table 1 to require that manufacturers of UV lamps intended to be used in sunlamp products are subject to the same record and reporting requirements as manufacturers of sunlamp products. FDA wants to ensure that all test data necessary to ensure compliance with § 1040.20 are collected and maintained. Currently, manufacturers of UV lamps are required to submit only product reports. Under proposed § 1002.1, manufacturers of UV lamps would also be required to submit supplemental reports and annual reports and to maintain test records and distribution records. Moreover, proposed § 1002.1 would also require that manufacturers of protective eyewear maintain test records demonstrating that the eyewear complies with applicable UV and visible transmittance requirements as well as distribution records. In addition, proposed § 1002.1 would also require that manufacturers of protective eyewear submit annual reports, supplemental reports, and product reports to FDA. Proposed § 1040.20(c)(1) would set an 
absolute limit for UVC radiation. An 
absolute limit on UVC (200–290 nanometer (nm)) irradiance would provide greater assurance of user safety because a ratio permits higher doses of UVC (as long as they correspond to higher doses in the 260 to 320 nm range). UVC, which is not present in sunlight that reaches the Earth’s surface, is potentially harmful to users while less effective for tanning than UVA or UVB. FDA has chosen not to adopt the limit for UVC radiation in Ed. 5.0 of IEC 60335–2–27 because this limit is 10 times lower than the limit in Ed. 4.2 and FDA believes that it would be difficult for some manufacturers to measure irradiance at this level. 
Proposed § 1040.20(c)(2)(ii) would 
limit the maximum timer interval to one that would result in a biologically effective (also referred to as erythemal- effective) dose that would not exceed 500 joules/meter
2(J/m2) which is 
approximately equivalent to the 624 J/ 
m2value (weighted with the CIE LYTLE 
action spectrum) that was specified in the 1986 FDA Policy Letter on Maximum Timer Interval and Exposure Schedule. FDA has determined that a dose of 500 J/m
2(weighted with the CIE 
erythemal action spectrum) provides a biologically equivalent dose that is more closely matched to the current 624 J/m
2 
value than does the IEC dose limit of 600 J/m
2. 
Proposed § 1040.20(c)(3) would add a 
requirement that the control enabling manual termination of radiation emission (sometimes referred to as the ‘‘panic button’’ or ‘‘emergency stop’’) be easily accessible and readily identifiable to the user. This would ensure that users could easily turn the sunlamp product off for any reason. 
Proposed § 1040.20(c)(4)(ii) would 
expand application of the performance requirements to all protective eyewear intended to be used with sunlamp products, whether sold together with a sunlamp product or sold separately. UV 
wavelengths can cause serious eye damage, and exposure to the shorter wavelength region of the UV spectrum is especially dangerous. The spectral transmittance requirements for protective eyewear are necessary to protect users of sunlamp products from these risks, which directly result from the UV radiation emitted by the sunlamp product. 
Proposed § 1040.20(d)(1)(i) would 
modify the warning statement required to appear on the label of all sunlamp products. FDA believes that the current warning statement is too long, not user- friendly, and that its content and format could be improved to more effectively 
VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:12 Dec 21, 2015 Jkt 238001 PO 00000 Frm 00020 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 E:\FR\FM\22DEP1.SGM 22DEP1rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS79507 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 245 / Tuesday, December 22, 2015 / Proposed Rules 
communicate the risks of indoor tanning 
to users. Based on its analysis of the consumer testing, FDA concluded that the current warning statement could be made more effective by changing its required language, formatting, and location. FDA believes that the proposed warning statement would most effectively convey the risks of indoor tanning to users. 
The proposed rule would also 
improve user safety by adopting the IEC’s ‘‘equivalency code’’ system for ensuring compatibility between sunlamp products (e.g., tanning beds 
and booths) and the UV lamps that are used in them. Proposed § 1040.20(d)(1)(vi) would require the label of all sunlamp products to indicate the equivalency code range of the UV lamp to be used in the sunlamp product. Proposed § 1040.20(d)(2)(ii) would require the label of each UV lamp to indicate its UV lamp equivalency code. FDA believes the adoption of the IEC’s absolute rating system for replacement UV lamps would eliminate confusion regarding proper lamp replacement, facilitate the enforcement of lamp compatibility requirements, and improve the safety of sunlamp products. 
Proposed § 1040.20(d)(3) would retain 
the requirement of the current FDA standard that the required label information must be legible and readily accessible to view by a sunlamp product user immediately prior to use. Proposed § 1040.20(d)(3)(i) would incorporate specifications into the rule regarding the location, spacing, and font of the required warning statement. FDA believes that these label specifications would ensure that users see the required warning prior to use, and would result in a more comprehensive and effective standard. 
Proposed § 1040.20(e)(3) would add a 
requirement for the provision of the required warning statement in all catalogs, specification sheets, and descriptive brochures intended for consumers in which sunlamp products are offered for sale, and on all consumer-directed Web pages on which sunlamp products are offered for sale. This requirement would ensure that consumers are fully informed of the risks presented by sunlamp products at the time they consider purchasing it. 
Proposed § 1040.20(g) is also modeled 
after the proposed FDA Performance Standard for Laser Products (78 FR 37723, June 24, 2013). FDA believes the addition of these requirements, which have been used successfully over the past two decades for laser products, would improve safety by ensuring that modifications that affect performance would be held to the same standards as 
original manufacturing. 
Costs and Benefits 
Estimated one-time costs are $20,917 
to $113,240 and annual costs are $4,686 
to $7,230. The present discounted costs are $57,181 to $151,390 at 7 percent and $61,498 to $165,883 at 3 percent. Annualized at 7 percent over 10 years, total costs are $8,141 to $21,498. At 3 percent, annualized total costs are $7,867 to $19,447. 
The primary benefit of the proposed 
rule would be from reduced injuries, including sunburn, photokeratitis, skin cancer, cataracts and ocular melanoma, and from reduced exposure to UV radiation. We are unable to quantify the benefits, but where possible, demonstrate that they satisfy breakeven tests using very conservative assumptions. The benefits of this 
proposed rule would justify the costs.

I. Background 
The Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 
(Pub. L. 101–629), enacted on November 
28, 1990, transferred the provisions of the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968 (Pub. L. 90–602) from Title III of the Public Health Service Act to Chapter V, subchapter C of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360hh et seq.). Under these provisions, FDA administers an electronic product radiation control program to protect the public health and safety. This authority provides for developing, amending, and administering radiation safety performance standards for electronic products, including sunlamp products. 
Until recently, sunlamp products 
intended for tanning were class I medical devices and exempt from premarket notification requirements, subject to the limitation in 21 CFR 878.9 (see 53 FR 23856, June 24, 1988; 59 FR 63005, December 7, 1994). On March 25, 2010, FDA held a meeting of the General and Plastic Surgery Devices Panel of the FDA/Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) Medical Devices Advisory committee to seek input on whether the classification or regulatory controls needed to be changed. For a summary of this meeting, see http://www.fda.gov/downloads/
AdvisoryCommittees/CommitteesMeetingMaterials/MedicalDevices/MedicalDevicesAdvisoryCommittee/GeneralandPlasticSurgeryDevicesPanel/UCM206522.pdf. On June 2, 2014, based 
on the panel’s recommendations, among other things, FDA reclassified UV lamps intended to tan the skin from class I and exempt from premarket notification to class II and subject to premarket notification, and renamed them sunlamp products and UV lamps intended for use in sunlamp products (see 21 CFR 878.4635; 79 FR 31205, June 2, 2014). 
As electronic products, sunlamp 
products are subject to the regulations for electronic product radiation control, including parts 1000 through 1010 and § 1040.20. The sunlamp products performance standard in § 1040.20 was originally published in the Federal Register on November 9, 1979 (44 FR 
65352). In the Federal Register of September 6, 1985 (50 FR 36548), FDA amended § 1040.20 and made it applicable to all sunlamp products manufactured on or after September 8, 1986. 
FDA also issued several policy letters 
pertaining to specific aspects of its regulation of sunlamp products. On June 25, 1985, FDA issued a policy letter entitled ‘‘Policy on Warning Label Required on Sunlamp Products’’ (available at http://www.fda.gov/downloads/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/GuidanceDocuments/UCM095333.pdf ) 
(Ref. 2). This document pertained to the location, spacing, and legibility of the required warning label. On August 21, 1986, FDA issued a policy letter entitled ‘‘Policy on Maximum Timer Interval and Exposure Schedule for Sunlamp Products’’ (available at http://www.fda.gov/downloads/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/GuidanceDocuments/UCM095333.pdf) (Ref. 3). This document explained the criteria FDA uses to evaluate the adequacy of the exposure schedule and the recommended maximum exposure time for sunlamp products. On September 2, 1986, FDA issued another policy letter entitled ‘‘Policy on Lamp Compatibility,’’ (available at http://www.fda.gov/downloads/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/GuidanceDocuments/UCM095325.pdf) (Ref. 4). This document listed the criteria FDA uses to

evaluate appropriate replacement lamps 
for sunlamp products. 
Before prescribing any electronic 
product performance standards, FDA is required to consult a statutory advisory committee, the Technical Electronic Product Radiation Safety Standards Committee (TEPRSSC). See section 534(f)(1)(A) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360kk(f)(1)(A)). At the September 23 and 24, 1998, meeting of TEPRSSC, FDA presented general concepts for amendments to the performance standard for sunlamp products, which are embodied in this proposed rule. The committee recommended that FDA pursue development of the amendments. 
On February 9, 1999, CDRH published 
an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) (Docket No. 98N– 1170), 64 FR 6288 (February 9, 1999), for the following reasons: 
1. FDA was concerned that 
inadequate attention was being given to recommended exposure schedules, which are designed to minimize consumer risk. 
2. FDA was concerned that the 
warnings for sunlamp products were not reaching many users of sunlamp products prior to their purchase and use, and that purchasers may not be aware of the risks associated with UV exposure from sunlamp products. 
3. Sunlamp products technology has 
changed since the FDA Performance Standard was amended in 1985. These changes can affect both the intensity and spectral characteristics of the UV emission from sunlamps. 
4. Because there is no uniform 
grading/rating system, choosing a replacement lamp can be confusing for sunlamp product owners and tanning facilities. It also makes the job of tanning facility inspectors more difficult because they cannot easily verify whether the correct lamps are installed in the sunlamp products. The use of incorrect replacement lamps can lead to sunburns. 
The specific amendments under 
consideration were as follows: 
1. Harmonizing the sunlamp product 
performance standard with IEC Standard 60335–2–27; 
2. Revising and updating the August 
21, 1986, guidance entitled ‘‘Policy on Maximum Timer Interval and Exposure Schedule for Sunlamp Products,’’ and incorporating the updated guidance into the sunlamp product performance standard; 
3. Adding a provision clarifying that 
‘‘manufacturing’’ under the FD&C Act includes a modification of a sunlamp product that affects any aspect of its performance or intended function for which § 1040.20 has an applicable 
requirement; 
4. Updating the warning statement 
required by § 1040.20(d)(1)(i) to simplify the wording and to highlight the risk of developing skin cancers; 
5. Requiring reproduction of the text 
of the warning statement specified in § 1040.20(d)(1)(i) in catalogs, specification sheets, and brochures; and 
6. Developing a biological efficacy 
rating scale for UV lamps intended for use in sunlamp products to simplify appropriate lamp replacement. 
In response to this ANPRM, FDA 
received 26 comments from State and local radiation control agencies, manufacturers, the American Academy of Dermatology, the Skin Cancer Foundation, an industry educational association, a tanning facility owner, and a trade organization. FDA considered these comments in developing this proposal. 
FDA presented recommendations for 
amendments to the sunlamp performance standard to TEPRSSC on June 21, 2000. FDA explained to TEPRSSC that it was prepared to move forward with some of the amendments 
at that time, but did not have sufficient scientific data to move forward with the lamp classification or the exposure schedule amendment. TEPRSSC advised FDA to develop scientifically-based exposure schedule guidelines before incorporating these requirements into the Performance Standard itself. FDA scientists obtained special funding from FDA’s Office of Women’s Health to conduct this research. Upon completion, FDA presented guidelines for exposure schedules to the IEC TC (Technical Committee) 61, MT (Maintenance Team) 16 that is responsible for developing standards for these products. The IEC accepted these guidelines and incorporated them into IEC 60335–2–27 standard (Ed. 5.0), which published on December 14, 2009. 
In February 2002, FDA held a 2-day 
meeting with the indoor tanning industry and representatives from the U.S. Army Environmental Hygiene Agency, Health Canada, the Swedish Radiation Protection Institute, and the North Carolina Department of Radiation Protection. The purpose of this meeting was to solicit input from the affected parties on the lamp equivalence issue and other possible amendments to the FDA Performance Standard for Sunlamp Products, which we considered in the development of this proposed rule. 
The IEC TC 61, MT 16 committee met 
in October 2002, and decided to work with IEC SC (subcommittee) 34A to develop practical standardized test methods and a classification scheme for low-pressure, fluorescent tanning lamps to facilitate replacement of these lamps when they wear out. IEC SC 34A has responsibility for the IEC 61228 standard entitled ‘‘Fluorescent Ultraviolet Lamps Used for Tanning— Measurement and Specification Method’’ (Ref. 5). At their meeting in 2003, IEC TC 61, MT 16 and IEC SC 34A reached a consensus position on lamp testing and classification. This position has now been incorporated into the IEC 60335–2–27, Ed. 5.0 standard (Ref. 6) and the IEC 61228, Ed. 2.0 standard (Ref. 5). 
In October 2003, FDA presented six 
amendments to TEPRSSC and all were approved with modifications to two of the proposals. These six amendments, along with others, are being presented in this proposed rule and are outlined in section II. 
In addition, FDA has informed 
radiological health representatives from the states of our intentions to amend the Sunlamp Products Performance Standard through semi-annual meetings with the state Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors. See Web site at http://www.crcpd.org/. 
FDA is concerned about the safety 
risks from UV radiation. Therefore, FDA is updating our requirements for sunlamp products—which allow for indoor exposure to UV radiation. 
FDA is undertaking three initiatives to 
address the risks associated with sunlamp products. First, in a final reclassification order that issued June 2, 2014 (79 FR 31205 at 31213), FDA reclassified sunlamp products and UV lamps intended for use in sunlamp products from class I to class II, and established special controls and premarket notification (510(k)) requirements under the medical device authorities of the FD&C Act. The special controls include performance testing and labeling requirements, including a warning that sunlamp products are not to be used on persons under the age of 18 years. 
Second, and simultaneously with this 
proposed rule, FDA is proposing device restrictions under section 520(e) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360j(e)), which authorizes FDA to issue regulations imposing restrictions on the sale, distribution or use of a device, if, because of its potentiality for harmful effects or the collateral measures necessary to its use, FDA determines that absent such restrictions, there cannot be a reasonable assurance of its safety and effectiveness. As explained elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, the proposed device restrictions would require that: 
VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:12 Dec 21, 2015 Jkt 238001 PO 00000 Frm 00022 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 E:\FR\FM\22DEP1.SGM 22DEP1rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS79509 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 245 / Tuesday, December 22, 2015 / Proposed Rules 
1. Tanning facility operators permit 
use of sunlamp products only if the 
prospective user is age 18 or older; 
2. Tanning facility operators, upon 
request by the user or prospective user, provide a copy of the sunlamp product user manual or name and address of the manufacturer or distributor from who a user manual may be obtained; 
3. 510(k) holders assure that a user 
manual accompanies each sunlamp product and, upon request, provide a copy of the user manual to any tanning facility operator, user or prospective user; and 
4. Tanning facility operators obtain 
each prospective user’s signature on a risk acknowledgement certification before use that states that they have been informed of the risks to health that may result from use of these devices. 
These device restrictions would 
primarily apply to tanning facility operators, and to a lesser extent, device manufacturers and distributors. FDA would not consider people who use their own tanning beds (home users) to be tanning facility operators. 
Finally, in this action, FDA is 
proposing amendments to the sunlamp products and UV lamps performance standard at § 1040.20 (21 CFR 1040.20) (last updated in 1985), which includes technical and labeling requirements issued under the radiological health provisions of the FD&C Act. FDA is taking this action to reflect current scientific knowledge related to sunlamp product use, harmonize it more closely with IEC International Standard 60335– 2–27, Ed. 5.0: 2009–12, and strengthen the warning statement required by § 1040.20(d)(1)(i) in accordance with the results of the study FDA conducted under section 230 of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110–85). 
II. Contents of the Proposed Regulation A. Overview 
This preamble will focus on the 
proposed changes to § 1002.1 and 
§ 1040.20, which include: 
•Requiring that UV lamp 
manufacturers follow the same reporting requirements as sunlamp product manufacturers, 
•Requiring that protective eyewear 
manufacturers maintain distribution records and test records relating to the UV and visible transmittance of the eyewear as well as requiring the submission of annual reports, supplemental reports, and product reports to FDA, 
•Changing the content, format, and 
location of the required warning statement to make it more effective at communicating the risks of indoor tanning to consumers, 
•Replacing the current limit on the 
ratio of UVC to UVB irradiance with an absolute limit on UVC irradiance, 
•Limiting the maximum timer 
interval to one that would not exceed a maximum dose of 500 J/m
2, weighted 
with the CIE Reference Action Spectrum for Erythema (1999), 
•Adopting the IEC ‘‘equivalency 
code’’ system for labeling and measuring the strength of replacement lamps to prevent original lamps being replaced with more powerful lamps, which can lead to sunburn, 
•Changing the current subjective 
requirement regarding the visible transmittance of protective eyewear to an objective, quantitative requirement, adopted from the IEC standard, 
•Adding a cap on the amount of 
visible transmittance allowed through the protective eyewear, to protect the users’ retina from intense visible light, 
•Updating the guidelines for the 
required manufacturer-recommended exposure schedule, by requiring conformity to the IEC standard, which is based on current science, 
•Requiring that a reproduction of the 
warning label be provided in all catalogs, specification sheets, brochures, and consumer-directed Web pages on which sunlamp products are offered for sale, and 
•Requiring that persons involved in 
significant modification of sunlamp products re-certify the product just as the manufacturer of a new product would. This requirement currently exists in the FDA Laser Standard (21 CFR 1040.10(i)). 
B. Changes to § 1002.1 
FDA proposes to amend the 
requirements of part 1002 as specified 
in table 1 to require that manufacturers of UV lamps intended to be used in sunlamp products are subject to the same record and reporting requirements as manufacturers of sunlamp products. When table 1 was first codified, it was common for the manufacturers of UV lamps to be the same entity that manufactured the sunlamp product. Today, the market has changed and there are some manufacturers that manufacture only UV lamps. FDA wants to ensure that all test data necessary to ensure compliance with § 1040.20 are collected and maintained. Currently, manufacturers of UV lamps are required to submit only product reports. Under proposed § 1002.1, manufacturers of UV lamps would also be required to submit supplemental reports and annual reports and to maintain test records and distribution records. In addition, manufacturers of protective eyewear would also need to maintain distribution records as well as test records demonstrating that the eyewear complies with applicable UV and visible transmittance requirements. Proposed § 1002.1 would also require that manufacturers of protective eyewear submit annual reports, supplemental reports, and product reports to FDA. 
C. Changes to § 1040.20 1. Incorporation by Reference 
FDA proposes to incorporate certain 
elements of the IEC International 
Standard 60335–2–27, Ed. 5.0: 2009–12 entitled ‘‘Household and Similar Electrical Appliances—Safety—Part 2– 27: Particular Requirements for Appliances for Skin Exposure to Ultraviolet and Infrared Radiation,’’ by reference (Ref. 6). See proposed § 1040.20(a)(2). A similar approach has been used successfully with the FDA standard for laser products, § 1040.10, see FDA Guidance, ‘‘Laser Products— Conformance With IEC 60825–1 and IEC 60601–2–22’’ (Ref. 7), and FDA has proposed to incorporate by reference several provisions of IEC 60825–1, Ed. 2, into the laser products performance standard (78 FR 37723). Harmonizing the FDA standard with the current IEC standard would bring it up to date with current science and better protect consumers from the risks posed by these devices. FDA has representation on the IEC committee and has had significant influence on changes made to the IEC standard over the past decade. Working with this committee, which includes representatives from industry, government, and the medical community, has provided FDA with useful expertise and perspectives to which it may not otherwise have access. 
Harmonization would have benefits 
for sunlamp product manufacturers as well. Currently, many firms producing sunlamp products for sale within the United States and abroad have to follow both IEC and FDA standards. Aligning these standards would mean that such firms would need to comply with a single set of rules instead of two different ones, at least for the particular clauses which are being adopted and incorporated by reference. 
2. Definitions 
‘‘Protective goggles’’ would be added 
to the definition of ‘‘protective eyewear’’ 
in proposed § 1040.20(b) since this is the synonymous term used in the IEC standard. 
The definition of ‘‘sunlamp product’’ 
would be amended to make clear that 
VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:12 Dec 21, 2015 Jkt 238001 PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 E:\FR\FM\22DEP1.SGM 22DEP1rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS79510 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 245 / Tuesday, December 22, 2015 / Proposed Rules 
tanning beds and tanning booths are 
included within this term. 
We propose adding a definition for 
‘‘tanning course.’’ This term is used in Annex DD of IEC 60335–2–27, Ed. 5.0, to aid the manufacturer in the development of its exposure schedule. In the context of exposure schedules, ‘‘tanning course’’ means the period of time over which a tan is developed, starting with the first short exposure and building up to longer exposures over time, usually requiring a period of 3 to 4 weeks. In an effort to ensure that a useful recommendation is provided to the user about maximum annual exposure, this concept is utilized in the exposure schedule requirements at proposed § 1040.20(d)(1)(iv) and the example exposure schedule provided therein. FDA is uncertain how users might best keep track of their exposure over many weeks and months, and is particularly interested in comments on the best approach for informing users about limiting their annual exposure. 
3. Performance Requirements 
Proposed § 1040.20(c)(1) would set 
the irradiance limit for UVC radiation 
(200–290 nm) at 0.03 Watts/meter
2(W/ 
m2) at the shortest recommended 
exposure distance from the sunlamp product. This limit is the same as the one in the previous version of IEC 60335–2–27 (Ed. 4.2: 2007–04). This requirement would replace the current limit on the ratio of irradiance in the 200 to 260 nm wavelength range to the irradiance in the 260 to 320 nm wavelength range (see § 1040.20(c)(1)). One of the comments received in response to the 1999 ANPRM recommended that the current ratio limit in § 1040.20(c)(1) be dropped since it is no longer necessary, considering current low-pressure lamp technology, and because a limit on the UVC/UVB ratio provides less safety than an absolute limit on the UVC emissions from a sunlamp product. FDA agrees with this comment. An absolute limit on UVC (200–290 nm) irradiance would provide greater assurance of user safety because a ratio permits higher doses of UVC (as long as they correspond to higher doses in the 260 to 320 nm range). UVC, which is not present in sunlight that reaches the Earth’s surface, is potentially harmful to users while less effective for tanning than UVA or UVB. FDA has chosen not to adopt the limit for UVC radiation in Ed. 5.0 of IEC 60335–2–27 because this limit is 10 times lower than the limit in Ed. 4.2 and FDA believes that it would be difficult for some manufacturers to measure irradiance at this level. FDA is particularly interested in comments on 
this proposal. 
FDA proposes to change 
§ 1040.20(c)(2) by adding a dose-based limit similar to the one in FDA’s 1986 FDA Policy Letter on Maximum Timer Interval and Exposure Schedule (Ref. 3) to the maximum timer interval requirement in paragraph (c)(2)(ii). FDA also proposes to remove paragraph (v) from § 1040.20(c)(2). 
Proposed § 1040.20(c)(2)(ii) would 
incorporate by reference the action spectrum used in figure 103 of IEC 60335–2–27, Ed. 5.0 for calculating the effective dose that defines the maximum timer interval. This method uses the internationally-accepted CIE Reference Action Spectrum for Erythema (Ref. 8) instead of the CIE LYTLE action spectrum that was defined in the 1986 FDA Policy Letter on Maximum Timer Interval and Exposure Schedule (Ref. 3). Since 1986, the CIE Action Spectrum for Erythema has been verified and accepted by research laboratories across the globe. As a result, it is used worldwide in the calculation of the UV Index. 
The 1986 FDA Policy Letter on 
Maximum Timer Interval and Exposure Schedule also recommends the use of the Parrish 1982 melanogenesis action spectrum, in addition to the CIE LYTLE erythema action spectrum, as a secondary means of calculating the maximum timer interval. As it has been found that the two action spectra are highly correlated, this calculation does not provide independent characterization data and the requirement is redundant. Therefore, proposed § 1040.20(c)(2)(ii) would not require a second calculation of the maximum timer interval. 
Proposed § 1040.20(c)(2)(ii) would 
limit the maximum timer interval to one that would result in a biologically- effective (also referred to as erythemal- effective) dose that would not exceed 500 J/m
2, which is approximately 
equivalent to the 624 J/m2value 
(weighted with the CIE LYTLE action 
spectrum) that was specified in the 1986 FDA Policy Letter on Maximum Timer Interval and Exposure Schedule (Ref. 3). Although the FDA would like to harmonize its standard as much as possible with the IEC standard, consumer safety is our main concern. Based on spectral irradiance data submitted to the Agency and on data presented at the 2004 Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage (CIE) Symposium on ‘‘Light and Health: Non- visual effects’’ (Ref. 10), FDA has determined that a dose of 500 J/m
2 
(weighted with the CIE erythemal action spectrum) provides a biologically- equivalent dose that is more closely 
matched to the current 624 J/m
2value 
than does the IEC dose limit of 600 J/ 
m2. FDA invites comment on this 
proposal. 
Proposed § 1040.20(c)(3) would add a 
requirement that the control enabling manual termination of radiation emission (sometimes referred to as the ‘‘panic button’’ or ‘‘emergency stop’’) be easily accessible and readily identifiable to the user. This would ensure that users can easily turn the sunlamp product off for any reason. 
Proposed § 1040.20(c)(4)(ii) would 
expand application of the performance requirements to all protective eyewear intended to be used with sunlamp products, whether sold together with a sunlamp product or sold separately. As we have previously explained, UV wavelengths can cause serious eye damage, and exposure to the shorter wavelength region of the UV spectrum is especially dangerous. (See 42 FR 65189 at 65191, December 30, 1977.) Short-term risks include photokeratitis, which is very painful and causes temporary loss of vision, and there is also a risk of retinal damage from short- term or long-term exposure, which could cause blind spots to form in the retina. Repeated, long-term UV exposure increases the risk of cataracts, and there is evidence of an association between UV exposure and ocular melanoma (Ref. 11). 
The spectral transmittance 
requirements for protective eyewear are necessary to protect users of sunlamp products from these risks, which directly result from the UV radiation emitted by the sunlamp product. Users of sunlamp products, especially those who tan in tanning facilities, often use protective eyewear manufactured by an entity other than the manufacturer of the sunlamp product. Use of sunlamp products with eyewear that does not meet these requirements would increase the risk posed by the radiation emitted by the sunlamp product and undermine 
the protection provided by the performance standard. Therefore it is necessary to apply the standard to all protective eyewear intended to be used with sunlamp products. 
The proposal would also modify the 
protective eyewear transmittance requirements of § 1040.20(c)(4)(ii) to better ensure user safety and achieve harmony with the IEC standard. (See clause 32.102 of IEC 60335–2–27, Ed. 5.0.) The requirements for spectral transmittance in the UV range of 200– 400 nm would remain the same as in the current FDA standard. The proposed rule would adopt the limit of 5 percent on the visible transmittance in the range 
VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:12 Dec 21, 2015 Jkt 238001 PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 E:\FR\FM\22DEP1.SGM 22DEP1rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS79511 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 245 / Tuesday, December 22, 2015 / Proposed Rules 
of 400–550 nm from clause 32.102 of the 
IEC standard. This requirement would provide additional safety to protect the retina from intense visible light. Currently, there is no such requirement included in the FDA standard. The proposed rule would abandon the current requirement that spectral transmittance shall be sufficient over the wavelength range greater than 400 nm to provide visibility to the user, and instead adopt the lower limit of 1 percent on luminous transmission from clause 32.102 of the IEC standard. Replacing the subjective standard with an objective one would make compliance easier to verify and improve uniformity and consistency. 
4. Label Requirements 
Proposed § 1040.20(d)(1)(i) would 
modify the warning statement required 
to appear on the label of all sunlamp products. FDA believes that the current warning statement is too long, not user- friendly, and that its content and format could be improved to more effectively communicate the risks of indoor tanning to users. As discussed in section I, FDA has been considering updating the required warning since 1999. In 2007, Congress required FDA to conduct consumer focus group testing to evaluate the adequacy of sunlamp product warning labels in conveying certain risk information to consumers, including the risk of skin cancer. (See section 230 of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007, Pub. L. 110–85.) Based on its analysis of the consumer testing, FDA concluded that the current warning statement could be made more effective by changing its required language, formatting, and location. See the FDA Report to Congress entitled ‘‘Labeling Information on the Relationship Between the Use of Indoor Tanning Devices and Development of Skin Cancer or Other Skin Damage’’ (Ref. 12). 
FDA would like to harmonize its 
standard as much as possible with the IEC 60335–2–27 Ed. 5.0 standard. However, based on the results of the focus group testing, we believe it is appropriate for some differences to remain between the FDA warning 
statement and the IEC warning statement, especially since the IEC warning statement provides only the general substance to be conveyed (since it is intended for use in multiple languages) and does not provide formatting specifications. FDA believes that the proposed warning statement would most effectively convey the risks of indoor tanning to users. Specifically, the label of each sunlamp product would have to contain a warning statement with the following language and format: 
‘‘DANGER—Ultraviolet Radiation (UV) 
UV can cause: 
•Skin Cancer 
•Skin Burns 
•Premature Skin Aging such as 
wrinkles and age spots 
•Eye Damage (both short- and long- 
term) 
Wear FDA-compliant protective 
eyewear to prevent eye damage, such as 
burns or cataracts. 
Follow the recommended exposure 
schedule to avoid severe skin burns. 
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist 
before tanning if you use medicines and/or cosmetics. Some of these products can make you more sensitive to skin and eye damage from UV.’’ 
Currently, § 1040.20(d)(1)(iv) requires 
sunlamp product labels to include a recommended exposure schedule containing certain information. FDA proposes to add a requirement that the exposure schedule be developed in accordance with the specific parameters in IEC 60335–2–27, Ed. 5.0, Annex DD, which would be incorporated by reference. The proposed rule provides an example of a recommended exposure schedule that would meet the guidelines/parameters in IEC 60335–2– 27, Ed. 5.0, Annex DD. See proposed § 1040.20(d)(1)(iv). These parameters are different from those provided in the 1986 FDA Policy Letter on Maximum Timer Interval and Exposure Schedule (Ref. 3), and are based on current science, including recent human research conducted at FDA. This requirement is aimed at reducing the cumulative UV dose to sunlamp product users and attaining closer harmonization of FDA and the IEC standard. 
Proposed § 1040.20(d)(1)(iv) would 
also require a warning to appear either directly above or below the exposure schedule stating ‘‘Skin Type I individuals (always burns, never tans) should never use sunlamp products.’’ This warning is based on years of published research showing that Skin Type I individuals sunburn easily and cannot tan and are therefore at the greatest risk for skin cancer. By ‘‘Skin Type’’ we are referring to the historical Fitzpatrick skin typing system (Ref. 13) developed in 1975 by dermatologist Thomas Fitzpatrick to predict skin reactivity in phototherapy. Under this categorization scheme, Skin Type I is the fairest and most sensitive while Skin Type VI is the darkest and least sensitive to UV radiation. The Skin Types that are most likely to tan through the use of sunlamp products are Skin Types II through IV. It has been shown 
(Ref. 14) that Skin Types III and IV can attain a tan with UV doses that are similar to what is needed for Skin Type II. Thus, the same dose can be used to develop and maintain a tan for all three Skin Types. This was confirmed in clinical studies performed at FDA (Ref. 15). This is a change from the approach of the 1986 Policy Letter, which called for exposure schedules to be differentiated by Skin Type. 
The proposed rule would also 
improve user safety by adopting the IEC’s ‘‘equivalency code’’ system for ensuring compatibility between sunlamp products (e.g., tanning beds 
and booths) and the UV lamps (sometimes referred to as light bulbs) that are used in them. Proposed § 1040.20(d)(1)(vi) would require the label of all sunlamp products to indicate the equivalency code range of the UV lamp to be used in the sunlamp product. The equivalency code range would have to be determined in accordance with clause 22.111 and Annex CC of IEC 60335–2–27, Ed. 5.0, which would be incorporated by reference. Proposed § 1040.20(d)(2)(ii) would require the label of each UV lamp to indicate its UV lamp equivalency code, as defined in Annex CC of IEC 60335–2–27, Ed. 5.0. In determining the ‘‘UV code’’ component of the UV lamp equivalency code, output would have to be measured in accordance with IEC 61228, Ed. 2.0, ‘‘Fluorescent Ultraviolet Lamps used for Tanning—Measurement and Specification Method,’’ (Ref. 5) which would be incorporated by reference. 
FDA believes the adoption of the 
IEC’s absolute rating system for replacement lamps would eliminate confusion regarding proper lamp replacement, facilitate the enforcement of lamp compatibility requirements, and improve the safety of sunlamp products. Currently, FDA relies on a relative system in which the lamp manufacturer has to provide to FDA and to users a list of lamps with which the manufacturer’s lamp is compatible. (See §§ 1002.10 and 1040.20(e)(2)(iii).) As new lamp manufacturers and new lamp models enter the marketplace, while other manufacturers abandon old models of lamps or leave the marketplace, it is increasingly cumbersome to keep track of which lamps are compatible with the lamps originally provided with the sunlamp product. This can cause confusion for tanning facility owners, FDA, and State or local inspectors. When incorrect lamps are used as replacements, the erythema-effective intensity may be greater, resulting in 
burns. Therefore, FDA has decided that an absolute rating system is needed, 
VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:12 Dec 21, 2015 Jkt 238001 PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 E:\FR\FM\22DEP1.SGM 22DEP1rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS79512 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 245 / Tuesday, December 22, 2015 / Proposed Rules 
which would require that a code be 
printed on the lamp to indicate its erythema-effective output, and a code range be printed on the sunlamp product, to indicate which lamps to use with it. Another advantage of adopting the provisions in both of these IEC standards is that they provide detailed measurement specifications, which would ensure consistency among manufacturers. 
Proposed § 1040.20(d)(3) would retain 
the requirement of the current FDA standard that the required label information must be legible and readily accessible to view by a sunlamp product user immediately prior to use. FDA provided details regarding compliance with this requirement in its June 25, 1985, policy letter entitled ‘‘Policy on Warning Label Required on Sunlamp Products’’ (Ref. 2). Proposed § 1040.20(d)(3)(i) would incorporate similar specifications into the rule regarding the location, spacing, and font of the required warning statement. The proposal specifies that the warning statement would have to be readily accessible to view whether the tanning bed canopy or tanning booth door is open or closed when the user approaches, which may necessitate that it appear in more than one location on the sunlamp product. FDA believes that these label specifications would ensure that users see the required warning prior to use, and would result in a more comprehensive and effective standard. 
Proposed § 1040.20(d)(3)(ii) specifies 
that required UV lamp information would have to appear on the packaging of the lamp in addition to being permanently affixed or inscribed on the lamp itself. This would ensure that anyone replacing a UV lamp would be aware of the lamp equivalency code and required warnings before and after purchase. 
We propose revising 
§ 1040.20(d)(3)(iv) to achieve consistency with the requirement in the device labeling regulations at 21 CFR 801.15(c)(1) that all words, statements, and other information required by or under authority of the FD&C Act to appear on the label or labeling of a device must appear in the English language (or a foreign language for articles distributed solely in Puerto Rico or in a Territory where the predominant 
language is not English). Since the labeling of UV lamps must comply with the labeling requirements of part 801 and § 1040.20, we propose to remove the language in § 1040.20(d)(3)(iv) that permits the manufacturer to express the manufacturer’s name and month and year of manufacture as code or symbols. FDA is not aware of any request to use symbols or codes for this purpose in the past. 
5. User Information 
The proposal would remove 
§ 1040.20(e)(1)(iv) since the 
recommended exposure schedule no longer needs to be differentiated by skin type and would be required to be prominently displayed at the beginning of the users’ instructions under proposed § 1040.20(e)(1)(i). 
Proposed § 1040.20(e)(1)(v) would 
add a requirement for the provision of instructions and warnings regarding assembly, operation, and maintenance, which is modeled on the proposed FDA Performance Standard for Laser Products (78 FR 37723). This would better protect individuals who assemble, test, and maintain sunlamp products. 
Proposed § 1040.20(e)(3) would add a 
requirement for the provision of the required warning statement in all catalogs, specification sheets, and descriptive brochures intended for consumers in which sunlamp products are offered for sale, and on all consumer-directed Web pages on which sunlamp products are offered for sale. This requirement would ensure that consumers are fully informed of the risks presented by sunlamp products at the time they consider purchasing it. 
6. Test for Determination of Compliance 
Proposed § 1040.20(f) would add a 
requirement that the performance 
requirements for the measuring instrument in clause 32.101 of IEC 60335–2–27 Ed. 5.0 would apply. 
7. Modification of Certified Sunlamp 
Products 
Proposed § 1040.20(g) is also modeled 
after the proposed FDA Performance Standard for Laser Products (78 FR 37723). FDA believes the addition of these requirements, which have been used successfully over the past 2 decades for laser products, would improve safety by ensuring that modifications that affect performance would be held to the same standards as original manufacturing. 
III. Legal Authority 
Section 532 of the FD&C Act (21 
U.S.C. 360ii) authorizes FDA to 
establish and administer an electronic product radiation control program to protect the public health and safety. Section 534 of the FD&C Act gives FDA authority to issue regulations establishing performance standards for electronic products to control their emission of radiation. These standards may include requirements for product testing and radiation measurement, the attachment of warning signs and labels, 
and the provision of instructions for product installation, operation, and use. Section 1003(b)(2)(E) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 393(b)(2)(E)) requires FDA to ensure that public health and safety are protected from electronic product radiation. In addition, section 701(a) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 371(a)) authorizes the Agency to issue regulations for the efficient enforcement of the FD&C Act. 
Section 230 of the Food and Drug 
Administration Amendments Act of 
2007 (Pub. L. 110–85) directed FDA to determine whether changes to the warning statement would more effectively communicate the risks of indoor tanning, such as skin cancer, and to submit a report that includes an explanation of the measures being implemented to significantly reduce the risks associated with indoor tanning devices. As explained in section II, based on consumer testing, FDA determined that the proposed warning statement would better communicate the risks of indoor tanning to consumers, and is proposing these amendments to the sunlamp products performance standard to significantly reduce the risks associated with these products. 
IV. Proposed Effective Date 
FDA proposes that any final rule 
issued based on this proposal become 
effective 1 year after the date of publication of the final rule in the Federal Register. 
V. Environmental Impact, No 
Significant Impact 
The Agency has determined under 21 
CFR 25.34(c) that this proposed action is of a type that does not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. Therefore, neither an environmental assessment nor an environment impact statement is required. 
VI. Economic Analysis of Impacts 
FDA has examined the impacts of the 
proposed rule under Executive Order 
12866, Executive Order 13563, the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601–612), and the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4). Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct Agencies to assess all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, when regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety, and other advantages; distributive impacts; and equity). We have 
VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:12 Dec 21, 2015 Jkt 238001 PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 E:\FR\FM\22DEP1.SGM 22DEP1rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS79513 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 245 / Tuesday, December 22, 2015 / Proposed Rules 
developed a comprehensive Economic 
Analysis of Impacts that assesses the impacts of the proposed rule. The Agency believes that this proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action as defined by Executive Order 12866. 
The Regulatory Flexibility Act 
requires Agencies to analyze regulatory options that would minimize any significant impact of a rule on small entities. We do not believe this proposed rule would result in a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities, but the impacts are uncertain so we are explicitly seeking comment on the 
impacts. 
Section 202(a) of the Unfunded 
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 requires that Agencies prepare a written statement, which includes an assessment of anticipated costs and 
benefits, before proposing ‘‘any rule that includes any Federal mandate that may 
result in the expenditure by State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100,000,000 or more (adjusted annually for inflation) in any one year.’’ The current threshold after adjustment for inflation is $144 million, using the most current (2014) Implicit Price Deflator for the Gross Domestic Product. FDA does not expect this proposed rule to result in any 1- year expenditure that would meet or exceed this amount. 
The proposed rule would affect 
several aspects of the performance standards to reduce risks associated with use. The costs are summarized in table 1. Estimated one-time costs are $20,917 to $113,240 and annual costs 
are $4,686 to $7,230. The present discounted costs are $57,181 to 
$151,390 at 7 percent and $61,498 to $165,883 at 3 percent. Annualized at 7 percent over 10 years, total costs are $8,141 to $21,498. At 3 percent, annualized total costs are $7,867 to $19,447. 
The primary benefit of the proposed 
rule would be from reduced injuries, including sunburn, photokeratitis, skin cancer, cataracts and ocular melanoma and from reduced exposure to UV radiation. We are unable to quantify the benefits, but demonstrate that they satisfy breakeven tests using very conservative assumptions. The benefits of this proposed rule would justify the costs.

analysis is available in Docket FDA–

VII. Federalism 
FDA has analyzed this proposed rule 
in accordance with the principles set 
forth in Executive Order 13132. Section 4(a) of the Executive Order requires Agencies to ‘‘construe * * * a Federal statute to preempt State law only where the statute contains an express preemption provision or there is some other clear evidence that the Congress intended preemption of State law, or where the exercise of State authority conflicts with the exercise of Federal authority under the Federal statute.’’ Federal law includes an express preemption provision at section 542 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360ss) that preempts the States from establishing, or continuing in effect, any standard with respect to an electronic product which is applicable to the same aspect of product performance as a Federal standard prescribed under section 534 of the FD&C Act and which is not identical to the Federal standard. If this proposed rule is made final, the final rule would prescribe a Federal standard under section 534 of the FD&C Act. However, section 542 of the FD&C Act does not ‘‘prevent the Federal Government or the government of any State or political subdivision thereof from establishing a requirement with respect to emission of radiation from electronic products procured for its own use if such requirement imposes a more restrictive standard than that required to comply with the otherwise applicable Federal standard.’’ (Section 542 of the FD&C Act.) 
VIII. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
This proposed rule contains 
information collection provisions that 
are subject to review by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). A description of these provisions is given in the paragraphs that follow with an estimate of the annual reporting, recordkeeping, and third-party disclosure burden. Included in the estimate is the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing each 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. 
Title: Sunlamp Products; Proposed 
Amendment to § 1002.1 (Record and Reporting Requirements) and § 1040.20 (Performance Standard). 
Description: The Safe Medical Devices 
Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101–629) transferred the provisions of the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968 (Pub. L. 90–602) from Title III of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 201 et seq.) to Chapter V, 
subchapter C of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.). Under the FD&C Act, FDA 
administers an electronic product radiation control program to protect the public health and safety. FDA also develops and administers radiation safety performance standards for electronic products, including sunlamp products. 
Current § 1002.1 requires that 
sunlamp product manufacturers submit product reports, supplemental reports, and annual reports and requires that test records and distribution records are maintained, used for summary data submitted in the annual report, and made available upon request. In addition, current § 1002.1 requires UV 
VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:12 Dec 21, 2015 Jkt 238001 PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 E:\FR\FM\22DEP1.SGM 22DEP1rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS79514 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 245 / Tuesday, December 22, 2015 / Proposed Rules 
lamp manufacturers to submit product 
reports. Proposed § 1002.1 would require that manufacturers of UV lamps also submit supplemental reports and annual reports and maintain test records and distribution records. 
Proposed § 1002.1 would also require 
that manufacturers of protective eyewear maintain test records and distribution records as well as submit annual reports, supplemental reports, and product reports. The eyewear must meet certain transmittance limits in the UV and visible wavelength range. Both manufacturers of sunlamp products that include eyewear with their products and manufacturers of protective eyewear that is sold separately would be responsible for maintaining records of the results yielded by the testing and reporting these results to FDA. (See § 1002.1.) There are no operating and maintenance costs associated with testing the eyewear because this requirement reflects current market practices. 
Proposed § 1040.20(d)(2)(ii) would 
require that the UV lamp labeling include a replacement lamp code instead of a list of compatible replacement lamps. Although the single UV lamp manufacturer in the United States is already required to conduct spectral irradiance testing of lamps in order to demonstrate compatibility with other model lamps (whether made by that company or other manufacturers), proposed § 1040.20(d)(2)(ii) would require testing in accordance with test methods as specified in IEC 61228, Ed. 2.0, ‘‘Fluorescent Ultraviolet Lamps Used for Tanning—Measurement and Specification Method.’’ The spectral irradiance data obtained is used to calculate the UV code that would be required to be printed on the lamp by proposed § 1040.20(d)(2)(ii). Manufacturers would be responsible for maintaining and reporting records of the results yielded by the testing as well as imprinting the lamp with the replacement lamp code. 
Proposed § 1040.20(d)(2)(iii) would 
require that each UV lamp have a label containing the model identification of the lamp, if applicable. Manufacturers would be responsible for printing the model number on the lamp itself. 
Proposed § 1040.20(d)(3)(iii) would 
permit the manufacturer of the sunlamp product or UV lamp to submit a request to the Director, Office of In Vitro Diagnostics and Radiological Health, Center for Devices and Radiological Health for an approval of alternate labeling if the size, configuration, design, or function of the sunlamp product or UV lamp would preclude compliance with the requirements for any required label or would render the required wording of such label inappropriate or ineffective. In these circumstances, manufacturers would be responsible for reporting the request to FDA. The operating and maintenance costs associated with this provision are based on correspondence costs (postage) for non-email communications. 
Proposed § 1040.20(d)(3)(iv) would 
permit manufacturers of UV lamps to permanently affix or inscribe the tags or labels required by §§ 1010.2(b) and 1010.3(a) on the lamp packaging associated with the UV lamps, rather than the UV lamps themselves. The third party disclosure burden of this provision would be the time it takes to inscribe the label or tag on the UV lamp packaging. 
Proposed § 1040.20(e)(1)(v) would 
require instructions for sunlamp ‘‘assembly, operation, and maintenance,’’ and would include a schedule of maintenance. This information would also protect those maintaining and assembling sunlamp products from inadvertent exposure to UV radiation by providing adequate instructions to avoid UV exposure during assembly or maintenance. We presume that the maintenance schedules would be developed from known information about how to properly maintain these devices. The third party disclosure burden of this provision would be the time spent bringing this known information into a user-friendly format and disclosing it to users. We also assume that this information would be identical for all units of a given model of sunlamp products. 
Proposed § 1040.20(g) would require 
that those who change the function or performance characteristics of a sunlamp are manufacturers and would need to recertify and re-identify the device. This requirement applies only if the modification affects any aspect of the product’s performance or intended function(s) for which § 1040.20 has an applicable requirement. We believe some sunlamp owners (e.g., tanning 
facility owners) view such modifications as a less expensive alternative to purchasing a new sunlamp product. We believe some owners, otherwise inclined to alter their sunlamp’s performance characteristics, would be deterred from doing so by our proposal because recertification would cost a tanning facility owner more than $30,000 in operating and maintenance costs since tanning facility owners do not typically have the equipment necessary to recertify sunlamp products. However, if a tanning facility owner chooses to recertify the sunlamp product, documentation must be submitted to FDA. 
Description of Respondents: 
Respondents for these information collections are manufacturers of sunlamp products and UV lamps intended for use in sunlamp products, and manufacturers of protective eyewear that is intended to be used with sunlamp products. 
FDA estimates the burden of this 
collection of information as follows:

1There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. 
A. Reporting Burden 
For § 1002.1(b)—Lamp only, we 
estimate the single U.S.-based 
manufacturer of UV lamps would need to submit 2 new types of reports (supplemental reports and an annual report) for the 75 models. Based on previous submissions, we estimate that nine supplemental reports would be submitted per year. Annual reports are submitted once per year. We estimate that it takes approximately 2 hours to 
complete each report for a total of 18 burden hours. 
For § 1002.1(b)—Protective eyewear, 
we estimate that the five respondents would need to report the information annually and that each of the manufacturers produces two models of protective eyewear. Manufacturers are not required to produce two types of eyewear; however, FDA estimates that each of the five respondents produces two types of eyewear that could be made available with sunlamp products. Manufacturers would fill out and submit the annual, supplemental, and product reports demonstrating conformance to the performance standard, and this process is estimated to take 30 minutes per report for a total of 10 hours. 
For § 1040.20(d)(2)(ii), we estimate 
that the single U.S.-based manufacturer of UV lamps would test 75 UV lamps and that the time needed to incorporate the data into the product report is 1 hour. For § 1040.20(d)(3)(iii), we estimate 
that one sunlamp product and UV lamp manufacturer would submit a request for alternate labeling approval to FDA. This task is expected to be performed by clerical staff that prepare the request and submit it to FDA. This process is expected to take 10 minutes (.17 hours) to type the request and email it. The request is expected to be submitted electronically and does not involve any operating and maintenance cost. 
For § 1040.20(g), we estimate that, at 
most, one respondent per year would decide to re-certify a sunlamp product with the Agency, instead of the less expensive alternative of purchasing a new sunlamp product. The $43,000 capital costs for recertifying the sunlamp product includes the required instrumentation and calibration light sources such as a double-grating spectroradiometer with integrating sphere and software. We estimate the time needed to make the necessary spectral measurements and compile them into a report that would be sent to FDA to take 8 hours. 
B. Recordkeeping Burden 
For § 1002.1(b)—Lamp only, we 
estimate the single U.S.-based 
manufacturer of UV lamps would need to maintain 2 types of records (test records and distribution records) for each of the 75 models and that it takes approximately 2 minutes per model per record for a total of 300 minutes, or 5 burden hours. For § 1002.1(b)—Protective eyewear, 
we estimate that there are five U.S. 
manufacturers of protective eyewear that would be affected by this amendment. However, this number is uncertain and we welcome comment on this issue. We estimate that each of the manufacturers produces 2 models of protective eyewear and the manufacturer would sample approximately 10 units per model. The time required to perform the necessary testing, including time to verify the instrument, set up the test and prepare and file a report takes approximately 7 
hours per model. Protective eyewear manufacturers would also be required to maintain distribution records for their products. We estimate that 7 hours per year would be necessary for the manufacturer to log and file the distribution data. We estimate a total of 105 hours for each manufacturer to maintain the single distribution record for both models of protective eyewear as well as perform the testing for the individual test records that are to be maintained for each model of protective eyewear. 
For § 1040.20(d)(2)(ii), we expect that 
the single U.S.-based lamp manufacturer does not use IEC UV codes and would have to test and label its models under the proposed rule. The manufacturer has an estimated 30 to 120 models and we chose the mean number of models (75) for our calculations. The mean cost of testing each model is $350 and the cost for an ink stamp is $50 per model, 
VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:12 Dec 21, 2015 Jkt 238001 PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 E:\FR\FM\22DEP1.SGM 22DEP1rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS79516 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 245 / Tuesday, December 22, 2015 / Proposed Rules 
yielding an approximate $30,000 in 
operating and maintenance cost for § 1040.20(d)(2)(ii). Manufacturers are already performing similar spectral irradiance testing to determine lamp compatibility. We estimate that it would take 0.8 hours per model to modify the test setup to measure spectral irradiance in order to determine the UV code as well as file the results, for a total of 60 hours. We estimate that the single U.S.- based lamp manufacturer is already maintaining records of these tests, so there should be no additional cost associated with proposed § 1002.1 that requires lamp manufacturers now also to maintain test records, although FDA is seeking comment on this understanding. 
C. Third Party Disclosure Burden 
For § 1040.20(d)(1)(vi), we estimate 
that the five respondents would need to 
list the code range that can be used in each of the 5,200 sunlamp products produced annually. We estimate 2 minutes to print and affix this label on each the 26,000 sunlamp products, for a total of 88 hours. 
For § 1040.20(d)(2)(ii), the single U.S.- 
based lamp manufacturer would need to inscribe the UV lamp equivalency code onto each lamp. We estimate it would take 1 minute to ink stamp 10 lamps with the new UV lamp equivalency code. The operating and maintenance costs for this information collection are subsumed in the recordkeeping burden estimate for § 1040.20(d)(2)(ii). The lamp manufacturer produces 286,000 new lamps per year so this process is 
expected to take approximately 28,600 minutes per year, or about 486 hours. 
For § 1040.20(d)(2)(iii), the single 
U.S.-based lamp manufacturer would need to inscribe the model identification onto each lamp. We estimate it would take 1 minute to ink stamp ten lamps with the model identifier. The operating and maintenance costs for this information collection are subsumed in the recordkeeping burden estimate for § 1040.20(d)(2)(ii). The lamp manufacturer produces 286,000 new lamps per year so this process is expected to take approximately 28,600 minutes per year, or about 486 hours. 
For § 1040.20(d)(3)(iv), we estimate 
that the single U.S.-based lamp manufacturer would permanently affix or inscribe the tags or labels required by §§ 1010.2(b) and 1010.3(a) on the packaging of all the UV lamps rather than the lamps themselves. Since lamps are typically packaged and sold in cases of 12, this yields 23,833 packages that must bear the third party disclosure required by § 1040.20(d)(3)(iv). We estimate it would take 1 minute to ink stamp 10 lamp packages with the tags or labels required by §§ 1010.2(b) and 1010.3(a) for a total of 41 hours. 
For § 1040.20(d)(3)(ii), the single U.S.- 
based lamp manufacturer would need to inscribe or affix the UV lamp equivalency code on the packaging of each lamp. We estimate it would take 1 minute to ink stamp 10 lamp packages with the new UV lamp equivalency code. The lamp manufacturer produces 286,000 new lamps per year so this process is expected to take 28,600 minutes per year, or about 486 hours. 
For § 1040.20(e)(1)(v), we estimate the 
5 respondents would need to go through this reporting exercise once for each of their 10 models of sunlamp products. We estimate that 10 hours of a technician’s time would be required to collect all the necessary information regarding maintenance and assembly and 2 hours of a manager’s time to review this information once it is re- formatted into the user instructions. Thus, we estimate a total of 12 hours per model of sunlamp product would be required for a total of 600 hours. This would be a one-time cost. 
This proposed rule also refers to 
previously approved collections of information found in FDA regulations. These collections of information are subject to review by OMB under the PRA. The collections of information found in proposed § 1040.20(d)(1)(ii); (d)(1)(iii); (d)(1)(iv), 1st sentence; (d)(1)(v); (e)(1)(i) to (e)(1)(iv); (e)(2)(i), and (e)(2)(ii) have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0025 (expires January 1, 2017); the collections of information found in § 1040.20(d)(3)(v) have been approved under OMB control number 0910–0485 (expires February 28, 2015). 
In addition, FDA concludes that 
proposed § 1040.20(d)(1)(i); (d)(1)(iv), 2nd and 3rd sentences; (d)(2)(i); (d)(2)(iv); (d)(3)(i); and (e)(3) do not constitute ‘‘collection[s] of information’’ under the PRA. Rather, the labeling statements are ‘‘public disclosure[s] of information originally supplied by the Federal government to the recipient for the purpose of disclosure to the public.’’ (5 CFR 1320.3(c)(2).) 
To ensure that comments on 
information collection are received, OMB recommends that written comments be faxed to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, OMB (see 
ADDRESSES ). All comments 
should be identified with the title ‘‘Sunlamp Products; Proposed Amendment to § 1002.1 (Record and Reporting Requirements) and § 1040.20 (Performance Standard).’’ In compliance with the PRA (44 
U.S.C. 3407(d)), the Agency has 
submitted the information collection provisions of this proposed rule to OMB for review. These requirements will not be effective until FDA obtains OMB approval. FDA will publish a notice concerning OMB approval of these requirements in the Federal Register. 
IX. Incorporation by Reference 
FDA is proposing to incorporate by 
reference certain portions of the IEC 
International Standards 60335–2–27, Ed. 5.0: 2009–12 entitled ‘‘Household and Similar Electrical Appliances— Safety—Part 2–27: Particular Requirements for Appliances for Skin Exposure to Ultraviolet and Infrared Radiation’’; and 61228, Ed. 2.0, 
‘‘Fluorescent Ultraviolet Lamps Used for Tanning—Measurement and Specification Method.’’ You may purchase a copy of these materials from the International Electrotechnical Commission (EC Central Office), 3 rue de Varembe, CH–1211 Geneva 20, Switzerland, call +41 22–919–02–11, https://webstore.iec.ch/. FDA is also 
proposing to incorporate by reference the American National Standard C81.10–1976, entitled ‘‘Specifications for Electric Lamp Bases and Holders— Screw-Shell Types.’’ You may purchase a copy of the material from the American National Standards Institute, 1889 L St. NW., 11th Floor, Washington, DC 20036, call 202–293–8020, www.ansi.org. 
The IEC 60335 standard describes 
technical specifications that address the safety of electrical appliances that incorporate emitters for exposing the skin to UV and infrared radiation, including those found in tanning salons or other facilities. The IEC 61228 standard describes the method to measure, evaluate, and specify the characteristics of fluorescent UV lamps that are used in appliances for tanning purposes. The ANSI standard describes technical specifications that will help ensure only appropriate bulbs can be fitted to the appliance.

360j, 360hh–360ss, 371, 381, 393. 
■2. Section 1040.20 is revised to read 
as follows: 
§ 1040.20 Sunlamp products and 
ultraviolet lamps intended for use in sunlamp products. 
(a) Applicability. The provisions of 
this section, as amended, are applicable 
as specified to all sunlamp products and ultraviolet lamps intended for use in sunlamp products not later than [A DATE WILL BE ADDED 1 YEAR AFTER DATE OF PUBLICATION OF A FUTURE FINAL RULE IN THE Federal Register]. 
(b) Definitions. As used in this 
section, the following definitions apply: 
Exposure position means any 
position, distance, orientation, or location relative to the radiating surfaces of the sunlamp product at which the user is intended to be exposed to ultraviolet radiation from the sunlamp product, as recommended by the manufacturer. 
Irradiance means the radiant power 
incident on a surface at a specified location and orientation relative to the radiating surface divided by the area of the surface, as the area becomes vanishingly small, expressed in units of watts per square centimeter (W/cm
2). 
Maximum exposure time (Te) means 
the greatest continuous exposure time interval recommended by the manufacturer of the sunlamp product. 
Maximum timer interval means the 
greatest time interval setting on the timer of a sunlamp product. 
Protective eyewear or protective 
goggles means any device designed to be 
worn by users of a sunlamp product to reduce exposure of the eyes to radiation emitted by the product. 
Spectral irradiance (El) means the 
irradiance resulting from radiation within a wavelength range divided by the wavelength range as the range becomes vanishingly small, expressed in units of watts per square centimeter per nanometer (W/(cm
2/nm)). 
Spectral transmittance (Tl) means the 
spectral irradiance transmitted through protective eyewear divided by the spectral irradiance incident on the protective eyewear. 
Sunlamp product means any device 
designed to incorporate one or more ultraviolet lamps intended for irradiation of any part of the living human body, by ultraviolet radiation with wavelengths in air between 200 and 400 nanometers, to induce skin tanning. This definition includes tanning beds and tanning booths. 
Tanning course means a consecutive 
series of tanning exposures until a tan is developed, usually spanning a period of 3 to 4 weeks. 
Timer means any device incorporated 
into a sunlamp product that terminates radiation emission after a preset time interval. 
Ultraviolet lamp means any lamp that 
produces ultraviolet radiation in the wavelength interval of 200 to 400 nanometers in air and that is intended for use in any sunlamp product. 
(c) Performance requirements—(1) 
UVC (200–290 nm) irradiance. The total irradiance emitted by a sunlamp product in the wavelength range between 200 and 290 nm (UVC) shall not exceed 0.03 W/m
2. UVC irradiance 
shall be measured at the shortest exposure distance recommended by the manufacturer, as required to be provided on the label of the sunlamp product by paragraph (d)(1)(ii) of this section. UVC irradiance shall be calculated using the following formula: 
Where: 
E is the total irradiance over the wavelength 
range of interest 
El is the spectral irradiance in W/(m2-nm) 
Dl is the wavelength interval (nm). 
The wavelength interval shall be 1 nm or 
less. 
(2) Timer system. (i) Each sunlamp 
product shall incorporate a timer system with multiple timer settings adequate for the recommended exposure time intervals for different exposure positions and expected results of the products as specified in the label information required by paragraph (e) of this section.
