Medical Device Reporting: Electronic Submission Requirements; 
Correcting Amendments

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule; correcting amendments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending its 
regulation regarding postmarket electronic Medical Device Reporting 
(eMDR) to address the unintentional removal of certain provisions of 
the Unique Device Identification (UDI) System regulations and to update 
the contact information listed in the regulations.

DATES: This rule is effective August 14, 2015.

and Biometrics, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, Food and 
Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 66, Rm. 3208,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of September 24, 
2013 (78 FR 58786), FDA published the ``Unique Device Identification 
System'' final rule (UDI rule). The UDI rule, among other things, 
amended part 803 (21 CFR part 803). These amendments became effective 
on December 23, 2013.
    In the Federal Register of February 14, 2014 (79 FR 8832), FDA 
published the ``Medical Device Reporting: Electronic Submission 
Requirements'' final rule (eMDR rule). The eMDR rule will become 
effective on August 14, 2015. The eMDR rule, among other things, 
revises part 803 in its entirety. As published in the Federal Register, 
the eMDR rule will, upon its effective date, unintentionally remove the 
amendments made by the UDI rule to part 803 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR), Title 21. This document addresses the unintentional 
removal by amending part 803 to include the UDI requirements.
    When the eMDR rule goes into effect, it will require changes to the 
CFR citations of some provisions within part 803; consequently, some of 
the citations used by the UDI rule will have to be updated. The 
following table provides the ``Original UDI Citation'' (the citation 
used by the September 24, 2013, UDI rule) and the corresponding 
``Updated Citation'' for provisions addressed in this document.

  effective on December 23, 2013.
\2\ The ``Updated Citation'' is the citation within part 803, after the changes made by the eMDR rule go into
  effect on August 14, 2015, and after those changes are further amended by the correcting amendments in this
  document.

    We are also updating the contact information listed in Sec. Sec.  
803.11 and 803.33 for the Division of International and Consumer 
Education (DICE) (formerly the Division of Small Manufacturers, 
International and Consumer Assistance (DSMICA)).
    FDA is publishing this document as a final rule under the 
Administrative Procedures Act (5 U.S.C. 551, et seq.). FDA has 
determined that good cause exists to dispense with prior notice and 
public comment under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) and 21 CFR 10.40(e)(1) 
because the provisions addressed in this document have already 
undergone notice and public comment. Additionally, the amendments to 
Sec. Sec.  803.11 and 803.33, to provide updated contact information, 
are editorial in nature and are intended to improve the accuracy of the 
Agency's regulations.
    FDA has determined under 21 CFR 25.30(i) that this final rule is of 
a type that does not individually or cumulatively have a significant 
effect on the human environment. Therefore, neither an environmental 
assessment nor an environmental impact statement is required.
    This final rule refers to previously approved collections of 
information found in FDA regulations. These collections of information 
are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the PRA). The revised Form 
FDA 3500A is approved under OMB control number 0910-0291. The 
collections of information in part 803 have been approved under OMB

[[Page 10587]]

control number 0910-0437. The collections of information in the UDI 
rule have been approved under OMB control number 0910-0720.
    The information collection provisions in the eMDR rule have been 
submitted to OMB for review as required by section 3507(d) of the PRA 
(44 U.S.C. 3507(d)). Before the effective date of the final rule, FDA 
will publish a notice in the Federal Register announcing OMB's decision 
to approve, modify, or disapprove the information collection provisions 
in the final rule. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person 
is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it 
displays a currently valid OMB control number.

List of Subjects in 21 CFR Part 803

    Imports, Medical devices, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

    Therefore under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under 
authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, 21 CFR part 
803 as amended by the Medical Device Reporting: Electronic Submission 
Requirements final rule of February 14, 2014, 79 FR 8832, is further 
amended as follows:
