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.

Electronic Submission of Medical Device Registration and Listing--21 
CFR Part 807, Subparts A Through D OMB Control Number 0910-0625--
Extension

    Under section 510 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C 
Act) (21 U.S.C. 360) and part 807, subparts A through D (21 CFR part 
807, subparts A through D), medical device establishment owners and 
operators are required to electronically submit establishment 
registration and device listing information.
    Complete and accurate registration and listing information is 
necessary to accomplish a number of statutory and regulatory 
objectives, such as: (1) Identification of establishments producing 
marketed medical devices, (2) identification of establishments

[[Page 20139]]

producing a specific device when that device is in short supply or is 
needed for national emergency, (3) facilitation of recalls for devices 
marketed by owners and operators of device establishments, (4) 
identification and cataloguing of marketed devices, (5) administering 
postmarketing surveillance programs for devices, (6) identification of 
devices marketed in violation of the law, (7) identification and 
control of devices imported into the country from foreign 
establishments, (8) and scheduling and planning inspections of 
registered establishments under section 704 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 
374).
    Respondents to this information collection are owners or operators 
of establishments that engage in the manufacturing, preparation, 
propagation, compounding, or processing of a device or devices, who 
must register their establishments and submit listing information for 
each of their devices in commercial distribution. Notwithstanding 
certain exceptions, foreign device establishments that manufacture, 
prepare, propagate, compound, or process a device that is imported or 
offered for import into the United States must also comply with the 
registration and listing requirements. The number of respondents is 
based on data from the FDA Unified Registration and Listing System.
    Burden estimates are based on recent experience with the existing 
medical device registration and listing program, electronic system 
operating experience, and previous data estimates.
    In the Federal Register of December 4, 2018 (83 FR 62583), 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:

    The following adjustments and program changes resulted in a 5,672-
hour decrease to the overall total hour burden estimate for this 
information collection request.
     We adjusted the number of respondents based on updated 
registration and listing data.
     In the reporting burden table, we corrected the table 
footnotes to accurately indicate whether the information collection 
(IC) is a one-time or reoccurring burden.
     We also adjusted some of the IC descriptions in the table 
for increased clarity.
     We updated our estimate of Hours per Response for 
``807.22(a) Initial Registration and Listing'' (+ 0.5 hours), 
``807.22(b)(1) Annual Registration'' (- 0.25 hours), and ``807.22(b)(3) 
Annual Update of Listing Information'' (- 0.25 hours). Based on our 
review of the program, we believe these changes to the burden estimate 
will more accurately reflect the current preparation time for these 
ICs.
