SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has

Administrative Detention and Banned Medical Devices--21 CFR 800.55, 
895.21, and 895.22

OMB Control Number 0910-0114--Extension

    This information collection supports FDA regulations. FDA has the 
statutory authority under section 304(g) of the Federal Food, Drug, and 
Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 334(g)) to detain during established 
inspections devices that are believed to be adulterated or misbranded. 
Section 800.55 (21 CFR 800.55), regarding administrative detention, 
includes among other things certain reporting requirements (Sec.  
800.55(g)(1) and (2)) and recordkeeping requirements (Sec.  800.55(k)). 
Under Sec.  800.55(g), an appellant of a detention order must show 
documentation of ownership if devices are detained at a place other 
than that of the appellant. Under Sec.  800.55(k), the owner or other 
responsible person must supply records about how the devices may have 
become adulterated or misbranded, in addition to records of 
distribution of the detained devices. These recordkeeping requirements 
for administrative detentions permit FDA to trace devices

for which the detention period expired before a seizure is accomplished 
or injunctive relief is obtained.
    FDA also has the statutory authority under section 516 of the FD&C 
Act (21 U.S.C. 360f) to ban devices that present substantial deception 
or an unreasonable and substantial risk of illness or injury. Section 
895.21 (21 CFR 895.21), regarding banned devices, contains certain 
reporting requirements. Section 895.21(d) describes the procedures for 
banning a device when the Commissioner of Food and Drugs (the 
Commissioner) decides to initiate such a proceeding. Under 21 CFR 
895.22, a manufacturer, distributor, or importer of a device may be 
required to submit to FDA all relevant and available data and 
information to enable the Commissioner to determine whether the device 
presents substantial deception, unreasonable and substantial risk of 
illness or injury, or unreasonable, direct, and substantial danger to 
the health of individuals.
    In the Federal Register of November 29, 2024 (89 FR 94734), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. No comments were received.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

    During the past several years, there has been an average of less 
than one new administrative detention action per year. Each 
administrative detention will have varying amounts of data and 
information that must be maintained. FDA's estimate of the burden under 
the administrative detention provision is based on FDA's discussion 
with one of the firms whose devices had been detained.
    Based on our evaluation of the information collection we have made 
no adjustment to our current estimates.

    Dated: June 9, 2025.
Grace R. Graham,
Deputy Commissioner for Policy, Legislation, and International Affairs.
