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. Requirements for Collection of Data Relating to the Prevention of Medical Gas Mix-ups at Health Care Facilities-Survey—(OMB Control Number 0910–0548)—Extension On March 7, 2008 (73 FR 12452) and July 1, 2008 (73 FR 37465) respectively, FDA published a 60–day and 30–day notice stating that it had received 4 reports of medical gas mix-ups occurring during the past 9 years which involved 7 deaths and 15 injuries to patients who were thought to be receiving medical grade oxygen, but who were actually receiving a different gas (e.g., nitrogen, argon) that had been mistakenly connected to the facility's oxygen supply system. These reported incidents actually occurred between 1998 and 2000 which, at the time, prompted the FDA in 2001 to publish guidance making recommendations to help hospitals, nursing homes, and other health care facilities avoid the tragedies that result from medical gas mix-ups and alerting these facilities to the hazards. This survey is intended to assess the degree of facilities' compliance with safety measures to prevent mix-ups, to determine if further steps are warranted to ensure the safety of patients. In the
