In accordance
with the terms of 5 CFR 1320, OMB considers this ICR to be
improperly submitted. The burden data entered into ROCIS does not
match the data listed in Question 15 of the Supporting Statement.
Please revise the ICR and resubmit it to OMB when ready. Please
also consult the terms of clearance listed in the Supporting
Statement and submit a memo responding to them on

FDA is implementing electronic data
collection to improve adverse event reporting across the agency.
FDA's current processes and systems for adverse event reporting
vary across its centers and are not optimal for the efficient
collection of voluntary and mandatory adverse event reports,
product problems/consumer complaints, or errors associated with the
use of FDA-regulated products. Current FDA reporting forms (Forms
FDA 3500, 3500A, 1932, and 1932a) are an outgrowth of a paper
process era and frequently result in the submission of inconsistent
and poor quality information. In addition, the agency is limited in
its ability to modify its paper forms to keep pace with changes in
the types of regulated products and the information necessary to
meet evolving standards to ensure post market safety. Further, the
existing supporting business processes are not able to efficiently
manage the information being provided on the paper forms.
The burden estimate for the
subject ICR was inadvertently over-reported in ICRAS/ROCIS in 2010,
when the second and third rational questionnaires were approved as
a non-material/non-substantive change. The over-reporting was
caused by erroneously doubling the number of ICs from 6 to 12. This
error was corrected by removing the 6 duplicative ICs. To further
refine the reporting burden, 3 of the previous ICs that were
segregated on the basis of mandatory versus voluntary reporting
have been consolidated into one as appropriate. As submitted, the
subject ICR now reflects a total of 4 information collections and
also incorporates the burden reflected and approved under OMB
Control No. 0910-0709. The latter ICR was initially obtained in May
of last year to allow FDA to implement provisions of the Food
Safety and Modernization Act. Accordingly, because of this
consolidation, the Agency has submitted a discontinuation request
for OMB Control No. 0910-0709 as it is now included in the instant
ICR.
