of Information and Regulatory Affairs, OMB, Attn: FDA Desk Officer, 
Fax: 202-395-7285, or emailed to [email protected]. All 
comments should be identified with the OMB control number 0910-0701.

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.

Guidance for Industry on Postmarketing Adverse Event Reporting for 
Medical Products and Dietary Supplements During an Influenza Pandemic

OMB Control Number 0910-0701--Extension

    This information collection supports the above captioned Agency 
guidance. The guidance includes recommendations for planning, 
notification, and documentation for firms that report postmarketing 
adverse events. The guidance recommends that each firm's pandemic 
influenza continuity of operations plan (COOP) include instructions for 
reporting adverse events, including a plan for the submission of stored 
reports that were not submitted within regulatory timeframes. The 
guidance explains that firms that are unable to fulfill normal adverse 
event reporting requirements during an influenza pandemic should: (1) 
Maintain documentation of the conditions that prevent them from meeting 
normal reporting requirements; (2) notify the appropriate FDA 
organizational unit responsible for adverse event reporting compliance 
when the conditions exist and when the reporting process is restored; 
and (3) maintain records to identify what reports have been stored.
    Based on the number of manufacturers that would be covered by the 
guidance, we estimate that approximately 5,000 firms will add the 
following to their COOP: (1) Instructions for reporting adverse events 
and (2) a plan for submitting stored reports that were not submitted 
within regulatory timeframes. We estimate that each firm will take 
approximately 50 hours to prepare the adverse event reporting plan for 
its COOP.
    We estimate that approximately 500 firms will be unable to fulfill 
normal adverse event reporting requirements because of conditions 
caused by an influenza pandemic and that these firms will notify the 
appropriate FDA organizational unit responsible for adverse event 
reporting compliance when the conditions exist. Although we do not 
anticipate such pandemic influenza conditions to occur every year, for 
purposes of the PRA, we estimate that each of these firms will notify 
FDA approximately once each year and that each notification will take 
approximately 8 hours to prepare and submit.
    Concerning the recommendation in the guidance that firms unable to 
fulfill normal adverse event reporting requirements maintain 
documentation of the conditions that prevent them from meeting these 
requirements and also maintain records to identify what adverse event 
reports have been stored and when the reporting process is restored, we 
estimate that approximately 500 firms will each need approximately 8 
hours to maintain the documentation and that approximately 500 firms 
will each need approximately 8 hours to maintain the records.
    In the Federal Register of October 31, 2017 (82 FR 50431) we 
published a notice inviting public comment of the proposed collection 
of information. Although one comment was received, it did not respond 
to any of the four information collection topics solicited in the 
notice under the PRA. We therefore made no changes to our estimate of 
the burden for the information collection, which remains as follows:
