This colection requires device
manufacturers to provide, in a petition for device
reclassification, specification of the type of device, a statement
of the action requested, and a justification for the request to
reclassify. The classification regulation, 21 CFR Part 860
including subpart C, reclassification, was promulgated under the
authority of 21 U.S.C. 360(e) and (f), 360d(b), 360e(b), 360j(1),
and 360i(b)(1)(A). The staff of the Center for Devices and
Radiological Health (CDRH) is responsible for reviewing petitions
for reclassification and determining whether the subject device
will be reclassified. In some instances, FDA also submits such
petitions to one of its medical device advisory panels for review
and recommendations. FDA's decision regarding the reclassification
of a device is based primarily upon the information contained in
the petition.
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
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
