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.

Exports: Notification and Recordkeeping Requirements--21 CFR 1.101 (OMB 
Control Number 0910-0482)--Extension

    Section 801 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C 
Act) (21 U.S.C. 381) charges the Secretary of Health and Human 
Services, through FDA, with the responsibility of assuring exports 
(Exports: Notification and Recordkeeping Requirements--Sec.  1.101 (21 
CFR 1.101)) which pertain to the exportation of unapproved new drugs, 
biologics, devices, animal drugs, food, cosmetics, and tobacco products 
that are not to be sold in the United States.
    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 marketed in the United States as allowed under 
section 801(e) of the FD&C Act. In general, the notification 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 in 
the case of certain countries identified in section 802(b) of the FD&C 
Act (21 U.S.C. 382) would not result in a notification to FDA.
    The recordkeepers to this information collection are exporters who 
export human drugs, biologics, devices, animal drugs, foods, cosmetics, 
and tobacco products that may not be sold in the United States and 
maintain records demonstrating their compliance with the requirements 
in section 801(e)(1) of the FD&C Act.
    On March 30, 2012, OMB approved ``Further Amendments to General 
Regulations of the Food and Drug Administration to Incorporate Tobacco 
Products,'' OMB control number 0910-0690, which amended, among other 
sections, Sec.  1.101 to incorporate tobacco products. This amendment 
reflects the Agency's authority over tobacco products under the Family 
Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Pub. L. 111-31) and added 
tobacco products to the list of products covered under Sec.  1.101(a) 
and (b).
    In the Federal Register of July 3, 2014 (79 FR 38036), 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:
