The information collection
requirements in 21 CFR Part 806 require each device manufacturer or
importer to submit a written report to FDA of any action to correct
or remove a device which may present a risk to health within
10-working days of initiating such correction or removal. The
Information Collection also requires that each device manufacturer
or importer of a device who initiates a correction or removal of a
device that is not required to be reported to FDA, shall keep a
record of such correction or removal.
Adjustments: The average annual
number of reporting respondents has increased since the last
approval from 666 to 1,033. This adjustment resulted in an increase
of 3,670 hours to the reporting burden. The average annual number
of recordkeeping respondents has increased since the last approval
from 90 to 93. This adjustment resulted in an increase of 30 hours
to the recordkeeping burden. Revision: Additionally, FDA is
revising this ICR making available an electronic Web-based process
for submitting reports of corrections and removals. We have
therefore added a line-item to the reporting burden table for
set-up of the electronic process. This resulted in an additional
increase of 5,918 hours. We have also accounted for the purchase of
a 1 to 3 year digital verification certificate for respondents who
use the new electronic process. This has resulted in an increase of
$30,660 in the operating and maintenance cost.
