This ICR collects information from
manufactures who wish to obtain "Humanitarian Use Device" (HUD)
designation for a medical device and marketing approval for the HUD
notwithstanding the absence of reasonable assurance of
effectiveness that would otherwise be required. To the extent
consistent with the protection of the public health and safety and
with ethical standards, this program encourages the discovery and
use of devices intended to benefit patients in the treatment or
diagnosis of diseases or conditions that affect or are manifested
in fewer than 4,000 individuals in the United States per year.
Obtaining marketing approval for a HUD involves two steps: (1)
Obtaining designation of the device as a HUD from FDA's Office of
Orphan Products Development and (2) submitting a Humanitarian
Device Exemption (HDE) application to the Office of Device
Evaluation (ODE), Center for Devices and Radiological Health
(CDRH), the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), or
the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), as applicable.
A person granted an exemption must submit periodic
reports.
After a review under the PRA,
we have determined that it is more appropriate to categorize the
"Notification of emergency use-814.124(a)" information collection
as third-party disclosure because respondents (physicians) provide
written notification to the IRB, a "third-party," rather than
directly to FDA. We have therefore moved the IC to the newly added
third-party disclosure burden table above.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
