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.

Medical Device Recall Authority--21 CFR 810 (OMB Control Number 0910-
0432)--Extension

    This collection of information implements section 518(e) of the 
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360h(e)) and 
part 810 (21 CFR part 810), medical device recall authority provisions. 
Section 518(e) of the FD&C Act provides FDA with the authority to issue 
an order requiring an appropriate person, including manufacturers, 
importers, distributors, and retailers of a device, if FDA finds that 
there is reasonable probability that the device intended for human use 
would cause serious adverse health consequences or death, to: (1) 
Immediately cease distribution of such device; (2) immediately notify 
health professionals and device-user facilities of the order; and (3) 
instruct such professionals and facilities to cease use of such device.
    Further, the provisions under section 518(e) of the FD&C Act set 
out the following three-step procedure for issuance of a mandatory 
device recall order:
     If there is a reasonable probability that a device 
intended for human use would cause serious, adverse health consequences 
or death, FDA may issue a cease distribution and notification order 
requiring the appropriate person to immediately:
    [cir] Cease distribution of the device,
    [cir] notify health professionals and device user facilities of the 
order, and
    [cir] instruct those professionals and facilities to cease use of 
the device;
     FDA will provide the person named in the cease 
distribution and notification order with the opportunity for an 
informal hearing on whether the order should be modified, vacated, or 
amended to require a mandatory recall of the device; and
     After providing the opportunity for an informal hearing, 
FDA may issue a mandatory recall order if the Agency determines that 
such an order is necessary.
    The information collected under the recall authority provisions 
will be used by FDA to do the following: (1) Ensure that all devices 
entering the market are safe and effective; (2) accurately and 
immediately detect serious problems with medical devices; and (3) 
remove dangerous and defective devices from the market.
    In the Federal Register of March 11, 2015 (80 FR 13586), 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:
