The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act), as amended by the Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act of 2002 (MDUFMA) (Public Law 107-250), and the Medical Device User Fee Amendments of 2007 (Title II of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA)), authorizes FDA to collect user fees for certain medical device applications. Under this authority, companies pay a fee for certain new medical device applications or supplements submitted to the agency for review. Because the submission of user fees concurrently with applications and supplements is required, the review of an application cannot begin until the fee is submitted. Form FDA 3601, the "Medical Device User Fee Cover Sheet", is designed to provide the minimum necessary information to determine whether a fee is required for review of an application, to determine the amount of the fee required, and to account for and track user fees. Form FDA 3601 and instructions are available online for registered users. A pdf of the form has been attached with this ICR.
The estimated number of respondents has increased from 5,214 to 6,379 due to an increase in the number of forms received. This has resulted in a 350-hour increase to the total hour burden estimate. No program changes were made.
