This ICR pertains to information that
manufactures and repackagers of natural rubber latex condoms
disclose to the health professionals who use or prescribe the
device or the lay consumers who use the device. Natural rubber
latex condoms without spermicidal lubricant are class II devices;
devices for which general controls by themselves are insufficient
to provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness, but
for which there is sufficient information to establish special
controls to provide such assurance. The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) describes in a special controls guidance
document its labeling recommendations for condoms without
spermicidal lubricant. Respondents are expected to comply with the
requirement of special controls and address the issues of safety
and effectiveness identified in the special controls guidance,
either by following the recommendations in the guidance or by some
other means that provides equivalent assurance of safety and
effectiveness.7
We updated the No. of
Respondents (previously estimated at 3; now 5, due to an increase
in the number of manufacturers of natural rubber latex condoms) and
No. of Disclosures per Respondent (previously estimated at 34; now
1) using current data. The number of disclosures per respondent
represents the number of new natural rubber latex condom products
for which manufacturers would follow the labeling recommendations
in the guidance document. The disclosure burden is a one-time
burden, i.e., products already on the market will have already
adjusted their labeling to meet the recommendations in the guidance
and only new products would incur this information collection
burden. These adjustments resulted in a decrease of 1,164 hours in
the burden estimate.
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
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
