OMB Control Number 0910-0738--Extension

    This information collection supports implementation of 
recommendations found in FDA guidance. As discussed in the document 
entitled ``Guidance for

[[Page 51433]]

Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff; Center for Devices and 
Radiological Health (CDRH) Appeals Processes'' (July 2019), there are 
various processes by which appeals requests regarding review of 
decisions or actions by CDRH may be submitted to the Agency. The 
guidance is available for download from our website at https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/center-devices-and-radiological-health-cdrh-appeals-processes. The 
guidance document provides general format and content recommendations 
in this regard, discusses applicable regulations with regard to the 
timing of such submissions, and describes the collection of information 
not expressly specified under existing regulations such as the 
submission of the request for review, minor clarifications as part of 
the request, and supporting information. While CDRH already possesses 
in the administrative file the information that would form the basis of 
a decision on a matter under appeal, the submission of information as 
recommended in the guidance regarding the appeal request itself, as 
well as data and information relied on by the requestor in the appeal, 
will help facilitate timely resolution of the decision under review. We 
are accounting for burden respondents may incur as a result of these 
Agency recommendations in this collection request. Additional 
information about the CDRH appeals process is described in the 
companion guidance entitled ``Center for Devices and Radiological 
Health (CDRH) Appeals Processes: Questions and Answers About 517A--
Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff'' (March 
2020), also available for download from our website at https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/center-devices-and-radiological-health-cdrh-appeals-processes-
questions-and-answers-about-517a.
    In the Federal Register of February 18, 2022 (87 FR 9365) we 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. No comments were received.
    We estimate the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

                                                     Table 1--Estimated Annual Reporting Burden \1\

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

    We estimate 35 requests will be submitted annually to review 
decisions and actions by CDRH employees, we attribute one respondent 
per submission, and we assume each request will take 8 hours to 
prepare. Based on our evaluation of the information collection since 
last OMB approval, we have made no adjustments to the currently 
approved burden estimate.
