This information collection is
intended to support research conducted by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA or we). Understanding patients, consumers, and
health care professionals' perceptions and behaviors plays an
important role in improving FDA's regulatory decisionmaking
processes and communications impacting various stakeholders. To
better understand patients, consumers, and health care
professionals' perceptions and behaviors regarding various issues
and patient reported outcomes associated with the safety and
administration of drug products overseen by the agency, FDA is
requesting approval of this generic information collection request
for the purpose of conducting studies in these areas.
US Code:
21
USC 393 Name of Law: Food and Drug Administration; General
Responsibilities
Based on a review of the
information collection since our last request for OMB approval, our
burden estimate for this information collection reflects an overall
increase of 35,886 responses with a corresponding increase of 8,972
hours. We attribute this adjustment to an increase in funding and
need to obtain additional information in specific areas,
particularly substance abuse (for example, opioids and stimulants)
and COVID-19. In addition, we attribute the increase in the number
of respondents (from 7,298 to 109,470) and decrease in the number
of responses per respondent from 15 to 1 to an inadvertent
administrative error reflected in the 60-day notice. These changes,
however, do not impact the estimated total annual responses or
burden hours.
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.
