Postmarket Surveillance of Medical Devices--21 CFR Part 822

OMB Control Number 0910-0449--Extension

    This information collection supports FDA regulations. Section 522 
of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360l) authorizes 
FDA to require a manufacturer to conduct postmarket surveillance (PS) 
of any device that meets the criteria set forth in the statute. The PS 
regulation establishes procedures that FDA uses to approve and 
disapprove PS plans. The regulation provides instructions to 
manufacturers, so they know what information is required in a PS plan 
submission. FDA reviews PS plan submissions in accordance with 21 CFR 
822.15 through 822.19 of the regulation, which describe the grounds for 
approving or disapproving a PS plan. In addition, the PS regulation 
provides instructions to manufacturers to submit interim and final 
reports in accordance with 21 CFR 822.38. To assist respondents with 
understanding the applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, we 
also developed the interpretive agency guidance entitled, ``Postmarket 
Surveillance Under Section 522 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 
Act'' (October 2022) (available at <a href="https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/postmarket-surveillance-under-section-522-federal-food-drug-and-cosmetic-act">https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/postmarket-surveillance-under-section-522-federal-food-drug-and-cosmetic-act</a>). Respondents to 
this collection of information are those manufacturers that require PS 
of their products.
    In the Federal Register of June 6, 2025 (90 FR 25318) 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:

    Our estimated burden for the information collection reflects an 
increase of 1,890 total burden hours and a corresponding increase 45 
total annual responses. This increase is based on internal FDA tracking 
data. The number of respondents varies annually, subject to the number 
of original plans, plan changes, and interim and final reports (which 
are dependent on enrollment progress for each study) received by FDA.

Associate Commissioner for Legislation.
