This information
collection is approved for use until June 30, 1992. In response to
the previous terms of clearance in November 1988, FDA has stated it
is conducting an 'in-depth' analysis of the MDR regulation to
determine what types of changes may be necessary (e.g., the
elimination of the 5 day reporting requirment). FDA also must now
revise the MDR regulation to incorporate the requirement of the
Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990. Taking these factors into
consideration, OMB approves this package for 18 months. Upon its
next submission, however, FDA will have completed its analysis of
how the MDR regulation shouldlbe revised, including the new
legislative requirements. In considering these revisions, FDA
should determine whether rulemaking is necessary to revise
reporting requirements to include the ARP policy and the criteria
for granting such designation. OMB will not approve this
information collection for use beyond June 1992 unless FDA has
submitted to OMB an NPRM to revise the MDR regulations pursuant to
the statutory deadline established by the Safe Medical Devices Act
of 1990.
