The information obtained from the
registration of blood establishments and the listing of blood
products on Form FDA 2830 is used by FDA, and other government
agencies, to keep an accurate, up to date list of all blood
establishments and their different products, not only located in
this country, but also those in foreign countries. In addition, the
data is used by industry, consumers, private institutions, etc., to
keep up with the names and locations of blood establishments and
their various blood products. Data from this file is used for many
purposes and is essential for the sending out of letters by FDA and
other government agencies regarding emerging health problems as
they relate to the blood product industry. In addition, FDA uses
the information on the different types of listed products for both
regulatory and research purposes. The information obtained through
the registration and product listing of domestic and foreign blood
establishments assists FDA in its inspections of facilities. This
information is essential to the overall regulatory scheme designed
to ensure the safety of the nation's blood supply.
The estimated total annual
burden for this information collection was 1,389 hours in 2011. The
slight increase to 1,418 hours (+29 hours) is mostly attirbuted to
an increase in the number of initial registrations of blood product
establishments (foreign and domestic).
