This ICR collects information from
manufactures of class II or class III medical devices who meet
certain eligibility criteria and who intend to use an "accredited
person" to conduct an inspection of their establishment. Under the
Inspection by Accredited Persons Program, eligible manufacturers
may elect to have third parties that have been accredited by FDA
conduct some of their inspections instead of FDA. This program
allows manufacturers greater control over the timing of their
inspections and, in some cases, may reduce the need for multiple
inspections of the same establishment.
We adjusted the estimated
number of respondents from 100 to 20 based on current information.
This adjustment resulted in a 1,200-hour reduction in our burden
estimate.
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).
