whether the information shall have

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 149 /Tuesday, August 4, 1998 / Notices 41573

Proposed Projects

1. Requirement for a Special Permit to

Import Cynomolgus-African Green or

Rhesus Monkeys—(0920–0263)—

Extension—National Center for

Infectious Disease (NCID) Division of

Quarantine—A registered importer

nonhuman primates must submit to the

Director, CDC, a written plan which

specifies the steps that will be taken to

prevent exposure of persons and

animals during the entire importation

and quarantine process for the arriving

nonhuman primates. Under the special

permit arrangement, registered

importers must submit a plan to CDC for

the importation and quarantine if they

wish to import the specific monkeys

covered. The plan must address disease

prevention procedures to be carried out

in every step of the chain of custody of

such monkeys, from embarkation in the

country of origin to release from

quarantine. Information such as species,

origin and intended use for monkeys,

transit information, isolation and

quarantine procedures, and procedures

for testing of quarantined animals is

necessary for CDC to make public health

decisions. This information enables

CDC to evaluate compliance with the

standards and determine whether the

measures being taken to prevent

exposure of persons and animals during

importation are adequate. Once CDC is

assured, through the monitoring of

shipments (normally no more than 2),

that the provisions of a special permit

plan are being followed by a new permit

holder, and that the use of adequate

disease control practices is being

demonstrated, the special permit is

extended to cover the receipt of

additional shipments under the same

plan for a period of 180 days, and may

be renewed upon request. This

eliminates the burden on importers to

repeatedly report identical information,

requiring only that specific shipment

itineraries and information on changes

to the plan which require approval be

submitted.

The respondents are commercial or

not-for-profit importers of nonhuman

primates. We are requesting clearance

for 3 years. Total cost to Respondents:

$350 (14 x $25)

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug

Administration (FDA) is announcing an

opportunity for public comment on the

proposed collection of certain

information by the agency. Under the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the

PRA), Federal agencies are required to

publish notice in the Federal Register

concerning each proposed collection of

information, including each proposed

extension of an existing collection and

information, and to allow 60 days for

public comment in response to the

notice. This notice solicits comments on

the submission of applications to

recognized accreditation bodies that

will assess potential U.S. Conformity

Assessment Bodies (CAB’s) seeking to

be designated under the United States

(U.S.)/European Community (EC)

Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA)

to assess medical devices produced for

the EC market. Elsewhere in this issue

of the Federal Register, FDA is

publishing a notice announcing OMB’s

approval of this collection of

information (OMB control number

0910–0378). Since this was an

emergency approval that expires on

January 31, 1999, FDA is following the

normal PRA clearance procedures by

issuing this notice.

DATES: Submit written comments on the

collection of information by October 5,

1998.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments

on the collection of information to the

Dockets Management Branch (HFA–

305), Food and Drug Administration,

5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, Rockville,

identified with the docket number

found in brackets in the heading of this

document.

Information Resources Management

(HFA–250), Food and Drug

Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the

PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), 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 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 below.
