The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (the act), as amended by the Medical Device User Fee and
Modernization Act of 2002 (MDUFMA) (Public Law 107-250), and the
Medical Device User Fee Amendments of 2007 (Title II of the Food
and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA)), authorizes
FDA to collect user fees for certain medical device applications.
Under this authority, companies pay a fee for certain new medical
device applications or supplements submitted to the agency for
review. Because the submission of user fees concurrently with
applications and supplements is required, the review of an
application cannot begin until the fee is submitted. Form FDA 3601,
the "Medical Device User Fee Cover Sheet", is designed to provide
the minimum necessary information to determine whether a fee is
required for review of an application, to determine the amount of
the fee required, and to account for and track user fees. Form FDA
3601 and instructions are available online for registered users. A
pdf of the form has been attached with this ICR.
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
