Extension without change of a currently approved collection
The information collection requirements in the CGMP, donor testing, donor notification, and "lookback" regulations provide FDA with the necessary information to perform its duty to ensure the safety, purity, and potency of blood and blood components. These requirements establish accountability and traceability in the processing and handling of blood and blood components and enable FDA to perform meaningful inspections. The recordkeeping requirements serve preventative and remedial purposes. The public health objective in testing human blood donors for evidence of infection due to communicable disease agents and in notifying donors is to prevent the transmission of communicable disease. The disclosure requirements identify the various blood and blood components and important properties of the product, demonstrate that the CGMP requirements have been met, and facilitate the tracing back of a product to its original source. The reporting requirements inform FDA of any deviations that occur and that may require immediate corrective action. The donor notification process is intended to prevent further donations from donors who have been deferred for positive test results for markers of certain communicable disease agents or for failing to satisfy the donor eligibility criteria under FDA regulations.
