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 Devices; Humanitarian Use Devices—21 CFR Part 814 OMB Control Number 0910-0332—Extension This collection of information implements the humanitarian use devices (HUDs) provision of section 520(m) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360j(m)) and part 814, subpart H (21 CFR part 814, subpart H). Under section 520(m) of the FD&C Act, FDA is authorized to exempt an HUD from the effectiveness requirements of sections 514 and 515 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360d and 360e) provided that the device: (1) Is designed to treat or diagnose a disease or condition that affects no more than 8,000 individuals in the United States; (2) would not be available to a person with a disease or condition unless an exemption is granted and there is no comparable device other than another HUD approved under this exemption that is available to treat or diagnose such disease or condition; and (3) will not expose patients to an unreasonable or significant risk of illness or injury and the probable benefit to health from the use of the device outweighs the risk of injury or illness from its use, taking into 
                    ( print page 1264)
                    account the probable risks and benefits of currently available devices or alternative forms of treatment. Respondents may submit a humanitarian device exemption (HDE) application seeking exemption from the effectiveness requirements of sections 514 and 515 of the FD&C Act as authorized by section 520(m)(2). The information collected will assist FDA in making determinations on the following: (1) Whether to grant HUD designation of a medical device; (2) whether to exempt an HUD from the effectiveness requirements under sections 514 and 515 of the FD&C Act, provided that the device meets requirements set forth under section 520(m) of the FD&C Act; and (3) whether to grant marketing approval(s) for the HUD. Failure to collect this information would prevent FDA from making a determination on the factors listed previously in this document. Further, the collected information would also enable FDA to determine whether the holder of an HUD is in compliance with the HUD provisions under section 520(m) of the FD&C Act. In the

                     of October 16, 2017 (82 FR 48096), 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: Table 1—Estimated Annual Reporting Burden 1

 The number of respondents in tables 1, 2, and 3 of this document are an average based on data for the previous 3 years, 
                    *i.e.,*
                     fiscal years 2014 through 2016. The number of annual reports submitted under § 814.126(b)(1) in table 1 reflects 35 respondents with approved HUD applications. Under § 814.126(b)(2) in table 2, the estimated number of recordkeepers is 247. The number of respondents has been adjusted to reflect updated respondent data. This has resulted in an overall decrease of 2,971 hours to the total estimated annual reporting burden. There have been no program changes and the estimated Average Burden per Response has not changed for any of the information collections since the last OMB approval. Dated: January 4, 2018.
