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 proposed 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 in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA 
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection 
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's 
functions, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques,

when appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Electronic Products--21 CFR parts 1002 Through 1010 (OMB Control Number 
0910-0025)--Extension

    Under sections 532 through 542 of the Federal Food, Drug, and 
Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360ii through 360ss), FDA has 
the responsibility to protect the public from unnecessary exposure of 
radiation from electronic products. The regulations issued under these 
authorities are listed in Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations, 
chapter I, subchapter J, parts 1000 through 1050 (21 CFR parts 1000 
through 1050).
    Section 532 of the FD&C Act directs the Secretary of the Department 
of Health and Human Services (the Secretary), to establish and carry 
out an electronic product radiation control program, including the 
development, issuance, and administration of performance standards to 
control the emission of electronic product radiation from electronic 
products. The program is designed to protect the public health and 
safety from electronic radiation, and the FD&C Act authorizes the 
Secretary to procure (by negotiation or otherwise) electronic products 
for research and testing purposes and to sell or otherwise dispose of 
such products. Section 534(g) of the FD&C Act directs the Secretary to 
review and evaluate industry testing programs on a continuing basis; 
and section 535(e) and (f) of the FD&C Act directs the Secretary to 
immediately notify manufacturers of, and ensure correction of, 
radiation defects or noncompliance with performance standards. Section 
537(b) of the FD&C Act contains the authority to require manufacturers 
of electronic products to establish and maintain records (including 
testing records), make reports, and provide information to determine 
whether the manufacturer has acted in compliance.
    The regulations under parts 1002 through 1010 specify reports to be 
provided by manufacturers and distributors to FDA and records to be 
maintained in the event of an investigation of a safety concern or a 
product recall. FDA conducts laboratory compliance testing of products 
covered by regulations for product standards in parts 1020, 1030, 1040, 
and 1050.
    FDA details product-specific performance standards that specify 
information to be supplied with the product or require specific 
reports. The information collections are either specifically called for 
in the FD&C Act or were developed to aid the Agency in performing its 
obligations under the FD&C Act. The data reported to FDA and the 
records maintained are used by FDA and the industry to make decisions 
and take actions that protect the public from radiation hazards 
presented by electronic products. This information refers to the 
identification of, location of, operational characteristics of, quality 
assurance programs for, and problem identification and correction of 
electronic products. The data provided to users and others are intended 
to encourage actions to reduce or eliminate radiation exposures.
    FDA uses the following forms to aid respondents in the submission 
of information for this information collection:

    The respondents to this information collection are electronic 
product and x-ray manufacturers, importers, and assemblers. The burden 
estimates were derived by consultation with FDA and industry personnel, 
and are based on data collected from industry, including recent product 
report submissions. An evaluation of the type and scope of information 
requested was also used to derive some time estimates.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
