This Information Collection Request
(ICR) collects information from manufacturers and public health
authorities applicable to the authorization of the emergency use of
certain medical products during a declared emergency. Respondents
submit information as recommended in Food and Drug Administration
(FDA or Agency) guidance, including a description of the medical
product and the intended use, reports after administration of such
a product, and requests for extension of the expiration date of
eligible products.
The estimated annual hourly
burden, formerly estimated as 1,622 hours, has increased by 2,813
hours to a total estimated annual hourly burden of 4,435 hours.
This program adjustment/increase in total annual burden is a result
of calculations based on the numbers of submissions over the past
three years. FDA anticipates that there will be a similar number of
pre-EUA, EUA, and expiration date extension request submissions in
future years.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
