``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

[[Page 63807]]

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.

Fee and Modernization Act of 2002--OMB Control Number 0910-0510--
Extension

    The Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act of 2002 (MDUFMA) 
(Pub. L. 107-250) was signed into law on October 26, 2002. Section 201 
of MDUFMA added a new paragraph (g) to section 704 of the Federal, 
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 374), directing FDA to accredit 
third parties (accredited persons) to conduct inspections of eligible 
manufacturers of class II or class III devices. FDA's guidance document 
entitled ``Implementation of the Inspection by Accredited Persons 
Program Under the Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act of 
2002; Accreditation Criteria'' provides information for those 
interested in participating in this voluntary program.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
