SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under current law, persons flying sUAS under
the provisions of 14 CFR part 107 or flying sUAS in limited
recreational operations pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 44809(a) may not operate
sUAS in Class B, Class C, or Class D airspace or within the lateral
boundaries of the surface area of Class E airspace designated for an
airport unless the person has received authorization to operate from
the FAA. sUAS operators under part 107, who are also referred to as
remote pilots in command, may request waivers of operational rules
applicable to sUAS requirements maintaining visual line of sight and
yielding right of way to manned aircraft, as well as prohibitions on
operations over people and in certain airspace pursuant to part 107.
    The FAA is revising SORN 854 because in 2018, Congress passed the
FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018, which enacted 49 U.S.C. 44809(a)
requiring authorizations for limited recreational operators flying sUAS
in controlled airspace. Before the enactment of Sec.  44809(a), SORN
854 covered only sUAS operators who operated under 14 CFR part 107. At
that time, only Part 107 operators could submit requests for
authorization, as limited recreational operators as defined under
previous law were not required to receive authorizations before flying
in controlled airspace. Now, both types of operators (Part 107 and
Sec.  44809(a)) are required to request and receive such
authorizations.
    Additionally, the FAA is updating the SORN to account for two new
systems through which sUAS operators can request for waivers and/or
authorizations. The first is a new web-based system, which has replaced
previous paper forms. Using this web-based system, sUAS operators who
determine to seek a waiver or an authorization may request such by
electronically completing a form on the FAA website. After reviewing
the information the applicant provides, the FAA will determine whether
it can assure safety in the national airspace when granting the waiver
or authorization; often, such grants will include provisions to which
the requester must adhere, to mitigate the risk associated with the
waiver or authorization.
    Operators may now also request authorizations through third parties
qualified to offer services by the FAA under the Low Altitude
Authorization and Notification Capability (hereinafter ``LAANC'').
These third parties, called UAS Service Suppliers (hereinafter
``USS''), enter into agreements with the FAA to automate and expedite
the process by which sUAS operators receive authorization to fly in the
aforementioned airspace from the FAA. The USS develop applications that
enable operators to submit requests for authorization to the FAA where
the requests are evaluated against pre-

determined criteria contained in LAANC. This enables operators to
obtain authorizations quickly and efficiently to operate in Class B, C,
D, and lateral boundaries of surface area E airspace designated for an
airport. The number of USS available to the public and the locations
where LAANC is available is updated on the FAA website.
    The following sections of this system of records notice have been
updated: System name; authority; purpose; categories of records; record
source; routine uses; storage; retention and disposal; and safeguards.

I. Background

    In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the
Department of Transportation (DOT)/Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) proposes to rename, update, and reissue a DOT system of records
titled, ``DOT/FAA 854 Requests for Waivers and Authorizations Under 14
CFR part 107.'' This update results from the recently-passed FAA
Reauthorization Act of 2018, which enacts 49 U.S.C. 44809(a).
Specifically, sUAS operators who meet the requirements established in
Sec.  44809(a) are now required to request and receive authorization
from the FAA before flying their sUAS in controlled airspace. Prior to
this legislation, only sUAS operators who operated in accordance with
FAA regulations at 14 CFR part 107 were required to request and receive
these authorizations. Accordingly, the previous iteration of this SORN
applied only to individuals operating their sUAS in accordance with
Part 107. This update expands the SORN's scope to cover individuals
operating their sUAS in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 44809(a).
Additionally, the SORN is updated to reflect new automated methods for
requesting and receiving waivers and authorizations.
    Specifically, this update includes changes to the following
sections: System name; authority; purpose; categories of records;
record source; routine uses; storage; retention and disposal; and
safeguards.
     The scope of this system of records has expanded to
include records on sUAS operators who operate Sec.  44809(a);
accordingly, we are proposing to update the notice's name to ``Small
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) Waivers and Authorizations.''
     The authorities section has likewise been updated to
include 49 U.S.C. 44809(a) to reflect the new legal authority requiring
limited recreational operators to request authorizations.
     The purpose section has also been updated to encompass
individuals operating their sUAS in accordance with Sec.  44809(a);
however, the purpose for collecting information for all categories of
individuals otherwise remains the same.
     The records category section has been updated to reflect
additional categories of information collected by the automated system
for processing authorizations. Specifically, the following additional
information will be collected by this automated system: Specification
of proposed sUAS operations; sUAS flight plan information (including
geometry); airspace class(es); submission reference codes; and safety
justifications for non-auto-authorized operations.
     The records source section has been updated to reflect
that records are obtained on behalf of individuals from the USS, to
include new automated methods for requesting and receiving
authorizations.
     The routine use section has been updated. Specifically, a
system-specific routine use allowing the sharing of information to law
enforcement has been eliminated, as the FAA determined that it is
duplicative of a departmental routine use. Further, a system-specific
routine use has been added to allow the FAA to share waiver and
authorization information with the NTSB in connection with its
investigative responsibilities. These two changes to the routine use
section are further addressed below in section 1.B.
     Finally, OMB Circular A-108 recommends that agencies
include all routine uses in one notice rather than incorporating
general routine uses by reference; therefore, FAA is replacing the
routine use that referenced the ``Statement of General Routine Uses''
with all of the general routine uses that apply to this system. This is
merely a technical change and does not substantially affect any of the
routine uses for records of this system.
     The storage, retention and disposal, and safeguard
sections has been updated remove the reference to 14 CFR part 107,
therefore reflecting the expansion in scope of the system of records to
incorporate records on sUAS operators who request waiver under 14 CFR
part 107 and those who request authorizations under both 14 CFR part
107 and 49 U.S.C. 44809(a). Previously, these sections referred only to
14 CFR part 107.
     Additionally, this notice includes non-substantive changes
to simplify and clarify the language, formatting, and text of the
previously published notice to align with the requirements of Office of
Management and Budget Memoranda A-108, and for consistency with other
departmental system of records notices.

A. Description of Records

    The FAA's regulations at 14 CFR part 107 governing operation of
sUAS permits operators to apply for certificates of waiver to allow a
sUAS operation to deviate from certain provisions of 14 CFR part 107 if
the FAA Administrator finds the operator can safely conduct the
proposed operation under the terms of a certificate of waiver.
Operators flying under 14 CFR part 107 or flying limited recreational
operations under 49 U.S.C. 44809(a) may request authorizations to enter
controlled airspace (Class B, Class C, or Class D airspace, or within
the lateral boundaries of the surface area of Class E airspace
designated for an airport). The FAA assesses requests for waivers on a
case-specific basis that considers the proposed sUAS operation, the
unique operating environment, and the safety mitigations provided by
that operating environment. Accordingly, this SORN covers documents
relevant to both waivers of certain provisions of part 107 as well as
authorizations to fly in controlled airspace.
1. Waivers
    To obtain a certificate of waiver, an applicant must submit a
request containing a complete description of the proposed operation and
a justification, including supporting data and documentation as
necessary, to establish the proposed operation can safely be conducted
under the terms of the requested certificate of waiver. The FAA expects
that the time and effort the operator will put into the analysis and
data collection for the waiver application will be proportional to the
specific relief requested. Similarly, the FAA anticipates that the time
required for it to make a determination regarding waiver requests will
vary based on the complexity of the request. For example, a request for
a major deviation from part 107 for an operation that takes place in a
congested metropolitan area with heavy air traffic will likely require
significantly more data and analysis than a request for a minor
deviation for an operation that takes place in a sparsely populated
area with minimal air traffic. If a certificate of waiver is granted,
that certificate may include additional conditions and limitations
designed to ensure that the sUAS operation can be conducted safely. The
certificate-of-waiver process will allow the FAA to assess case-
specific information concerning a sUAS operation that takes place in a
unique operating environment and consider

allowing additional operating flexibility that recognizes safety
mitigations provided by the specific operating environment. The FAA
anticipates that this process will also serve as a bridging mechanism
for new and emerging technologies; allowing the FAA to permit testing
and use of those technologies, as appropriate, before the pertinent
future rulemaking is complete.
    Information collected relevant to waivers include: Name of person
requesting the waiver, contact information for person applying for the
waiver (telephone number, mailing address, and email address); Remote
pilot in command name; remote pilot in command's airmen certification
number and rating; remote pilot in command contact information;
aircraft registration number; aircraft manufacturer name and model;
submission reference code; regulations subject to waiver; requested
date and time operations will commence and conclude under the waiver;
flight path information, including but not limited to altitude and
coordinates; safety justification; description of proposed operations.
2. Airspace Authorizations
    For airspace authorization requests to operate a sUAS in Class B,
Class C, Class D or within the lateral boundaries of the surface area
of Class E airspace designated for an airport, a remote pilot in
command may seek either automatic approval or a request for further
coordination from the FAA. Automatic approvals are completed by
checking against pre-determined FAA-approved altitude values and
locations within the aforementioned airspace. Requests sent through the
FAA website are manually checked against the pre-determined values to
either approve or deny the request. As this method requires manual
approval and is not scalable to the numbers of requests for
authorization, time for the sUAS operator to receive a response is
variable and can take up to 90 days or more. Requests sent through
LAANC are done through an automated process and operators receive near
real time notice of either an approval or denial of the authorization
request. Requests for further coordination are those authorization
requests for operations that are within the aforementioned airspace and
under 400 feet of altitude, but otherwise are a location and altitude
that has not been pre-determined by the FAA to be safe without further
consideration. These requests for further coordination are sent via
either the FAA website or through LAANC and routed to the local Air
Traffic Control facility where the requested operation would take place
to make an approval (or denial) decision. The appropriate ATC facility
has the best understanding of local airspace, its usage, and traffic
patterns and is in the best position to ascertain whether the proposed
sUAS operation would pose a hazard to other users or the efficiency of
the airspace, and procedures to implement to mitigate such hazards. The
ATC facility has the authority to approve or deny aircraft operations
based on traffic density, controller workload, communications issues,
or any other type of operational issues that could potentially impact
the safe and efficient flow of air traffic in that airspace. If
necessary to approve a sUAS operation, ATC may require mitigations such
as altitude constraints and direct communication. ATC may deny requests
that pose an unacceptable risk to the national airspace system (NAS)
and cannot be mitigated.
    Information collected relevant to airspace authorizations requested
using the non-automated method include: Aircraft operator name;
aircraft owner name; name of person requesting the authorization;
contact information for the person applying for the authorization;
remote pilot in command name; remote pilot in command contact
information; remote pilot in command certificate number; aircraft
manufacturer name and model; aircraft registration number; requested
date and time operations will commence and conclude; requested altitude
applicable to the authorization; and description of proposed
operations.
    Information collected relevant to airspace authorizations requested
using the automated method (LAANC) include: Name of pilot in command;
contact telephone number of remote pilot in command; start date, time,
and duration of operation; maximum altitude; geometry; airspace
class(es); submission reference code; safety justification for non-
auto-authorized operation; and aircraft registration number.

B. System of Records

    As described below in the Routine Uses section of this notice, the
FAA will make the following information available to the public on an
FAA website: Waiver applications and decisions, including any history
of previous, pending, existing, or denied requests for waivers
applicable to the sUAS at issue for purposes of the waiver, and special
provisions applicable to the sUAS operation that is the subject of the
request. Such availability is compatible with the purposes of this
system because this system is intended, in part, to educate sUAS
operators who seek to apply for a waiver, as operators will be able to
review prior grants of waivers and the accompanying special provisions
in their efforts to replicate successful waiver applications. The FAA
does not plan to post records relevant to airspace authorizations on
its website because airspace authorizations are unique to each
operation. Each airspace authorization is specific to the location and
time of the planned operation; therefore, posting of airspace
authorizations would not prove advantageous to prospective applicants.
    Finally, this system of records notice has been updated to include
a new routine use to allow disclosure of records to the National
Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) in connection with its investigative
responsibilities. Such disclosure is compatible with the purposes of
this system because this system is intended, in part, to provide for
safety of the NAS. The NTSB may require these records in the event that
an sUAS is involved in an aircraft accident requiring NTSB
investigation. Disclosure of these records to NTSB for this purpose
ensures NTSB's ability to fully investigate such accidents and
therefore maintain safety of the NAS.

II. Privacy Act

    The Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) governs the means by which the
Federal Government collects, maintains, and uses personally
identifiable information (PII) in a System of Records. A ``System of
Records'' is a group of any records under the control of a Federal
agency from which information about individuals is retrieved by name or
other personal identifier. The Privacy Act requires each agency to
publish in the Federal Register a System of Records notice (SORN)
identifying and describing each System of Records the agency maintains,
including the purposes for which the agency uses PII in the system, the
routine uses for which the agency discloses such information outside
the agency, and how individuals to whom a Privacy Act record pertains
can exercise their rights under the Privacy Act (e.g., to determine if
the system contains information about them and to contest inaccurate
information). In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), DOT has provided a
report of this system of records to the Office of Management and Budget
and to Congress.

decision on the matter.

    7. Routine Use for Disclosure for Use in Litigation. It shall be a
routine use of the records in this system of records to disclose them
to the Department of Justice or other Federal agency conducting
litigation when (a) DOT, or any agency thereof, or (b) Any employee of
DOT or any agency thereof (including a member of the Coast Guard), in
his/her official capacity, or (c) Any employee of DOT or any agency
thereof (including a member of the Coast Guard), in his/her individual
capacity where the Department of Justice has agreed to represent the
employee, or (d) The United States or any agency thereof, where DOT
determines that litigation is likely to affect the United States, is a
party to litigation or has an interest in such litigation, and the use
of such records by the Department of Justice or other Federal agency
conducting the litigation is deemed by DOT to be relevant and necessary
in the litigation, provided, however, that in each case, DOT determines
that disclosure of the records in the litigation is a use of the
information contained in the records that is compatible with the
purpose for which the records were collected. 6b. Routine Use for
Agency Disclosure in Other Proceedings. It shall be a routine use of
records in this system to disclose them in proceedings before any court
or adjudicative or administrative body before which DOT or any agency
thereof, appears, when (a) DOT, or any agency thereof, or (b) Any
employee of DOT or any agency thereof (including a member of the Coast
Guard) in his/her official capacity, or (c) Any employee of DOT or any
agency thereof (including a member of the Coast Guard) in his/her
individual capacity where DOT has agreed to represent the employee, or
(d) The United States or any agency thereof, where DOT determines that
the proceeding is likely to affect the United States, is a party to the
proceeding or has an interest in such proceeding, and DOT determines
that use of such records is relevant and necessary in the proceeding,
provided, however, that in each case, DOT determines that disclosure of
the records in the proceeding is a use of the information contained in
the records that is compatible with the purpose for which the records
were collected.
    8. The information contained in this system of records will be
disclosed to the Office of Management and Budget, OMB in connection
with the review of private relief legislation as set forth in OMB
Circular No. A-19 at any stage of the legislative coordination and
clearance process as set forth in that Circular.
    9. One or more records from a system of records may be disclosed
routinely to the National Archives and Records Administration in
records management inspections being conducted under the authority of
44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906.
    10. DOT may make available to another agency or instrumentality of
any government jurisdiction, including State and local governments,
listings of names from any system of records in DOT for use in law
enforcement activities, either civil or criminal, or to expose
fraudulent claims, regardless of the stated purpose for the collection
of the information in the system of records. These enforcement
activities are generally referred to as matching programs because two
lists of names are checked for match using automated assistance. This
routine use is advisory in nature and does not offer unrestricted
access to systems of records for such law enforcement and related
antifraud activities. Each request will be considered on the basis of
its purpose, merits, cost effectiveness and alternatives using
Instructions on reporting computer matching programs to the Office of
Management and Budget, OMB, Congress and the public, published by the
Director, OMB, dated September 20, 1989.
    11. DOT may disclose records from this system, as a routine use to
appropriate agencies, entities and persons when (1) DOT suspects or has
confirmed that the security or confidentiality of information in the
system of records has been compromised; (2) DOT has determined that as
a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of
harm to economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or
harm to the security or integrity of this system or other systems or
programs (whether maintained by DOT or another agency or entity) that
rely upon the, compromised information; and (3) the disclosure made to
such agencies, entities, and persons is reasonably necessary to assist
in connection with DOT's efforts to respond to the suspected or
confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm.
    12. DOT may disclose records from this system, as a routine use, to

performing or working on a contract, service, cooperative agreement, or
other assignment for DOT, when necessary to accomplish an agency
function related to this system of records.
    14. DOT may disclose records from this system, as a routine use, to
an agency, organization, or individual for the purpose of performing
audit or oversight operations related to this system of records, but
only such records as are necessary and relevant to the audit or
oversight activity. This routine use does not apply to intra-agency
sharing authorized under Section (b)(1), of the Privacy Act.
    15. DOT may disclose from this system, as a routine use, records
consisting of, or relating to, terrorism information (6 U.S.C.
485(a)(5)), homeland security information (6 U.S.C. 482(f)(1)), or Law
enforcement information (Guideline 2 Report attached to White House
Memorandum, ``Information Sharing Environment, November 22, 2006) to a
Federal, State, local, tribal, territorial, foreign government and/or
multinational agency, either in response to its request or upon the
initiative of the Component, for purposes of sharing such information
as is necessary and relevant for the agencies to detect, prevent,
disrupt, preempt, and mitigate the effects of terrorist activities

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP18-6-000]

RH energytrans, LLC; Notice of Request for Extension of Time

    Take notice that on October 19, 2020, RH energytrans, LLC (RH)
requested that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission)
grant an extension of time, until December 7, 2022, to complete
construction of, and place into service, its Meadville and County Line
compressor stations in Crawford and Erie Counties, Pennsylvania as
authorized in the December 7, 2018 Order Issuing Certificate
(Certificate Order).\1\ Ordering Paragraph B(1) of the Certificate
Order required RH to complete the construction of the proposed Risberg
Line Project facilities \2\ and make them available for service within
two years from issuance, or by December 7, 2020.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ RH energytrans, LLC, 165 FERC 61,218 (2018) (Certificate
Order).
    \2\ The Risberg Line Project consists of the conversion of 31.6
miles of existing 8-inch and 12-inch natural gas gathering pipeline
to transmission service, construction of 28.3 miles of new 12-inch
pipeline, conversion of the existing Countyline Compressor station
from gathering to transmission service, and construction of a new
compressor station at Meadville, PA.
    \3\ Id. at ordering para. (B)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On November 22, 2019, the Commission granted RH partial
authorization to place into service the pipeline facilities associated
with the Risberg Line Project,\4\ and subsequently, on December 1,
2019, RH placed those facilities into service.\5\ RH states that it has
experienced construction delays due to winter weather, the dissolution
of one of its pipeline contractors, and delays resulting from COVID-19
pandemic restrictions. As a result, RH now requests an additional two
years, or until December 7, 2022, to complete the authorized
construction at the Meadville and County Line compressor stations and
make them available for service.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ RH energytrans, LLC, Docket No. CP18-6-000, Partial
Authorization to Commence Service (November 22, 2019).
    \5\ The only authorized facilities not placed into service at
that time were the two compressor stations, and the approval was
conditioned on RH's commitment to finalize restoration of the
disturbed right-of -way in the spring/summer of 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This notice establishes a 15-calendar day intervention and comment
period deadline. Any person wishing to comment on RH's request for an
extension of time may do so. No reply comments or answers will be
considered. If you wish to obtain legal status by becoming a party to
the proceedings for this request, you should, on or before the comment
date stated below, file a motion to intervene in accordance with the
requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18
CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act
(18 CFR 157.10).\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Only motions to intervene from entities that were party to
the underlying proceeding will be accepted. Algonquin Gas
Transmission, LLC, 170 FERC 61,144, at P 39 (2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As a matter of practice, the Commission itself generally acts on
requests for extensions of time to complete construction for Natural
Gas Act facilities when such requests are contested before order
issuance. For those extension requests that are contested,\7\ the
Commission will aim to issue an order acting on the request within 45
days.\8\ The Commission will address all arguments relating to whether
the applicant has demonstrated there is good cause to grant the
extension.\9\ The Commission will not consider arguments that re-
litigate the issuance of the Certificate Order, including whether the
Commission properly found the project to be in the public convenience
and necessity and whether the Commission's environmental analysis for
the certificate complied with the National Environmental Policy
Act.\10\ At the time a pipeline requests an extension of time, orders
on certificates of public convenience and necessity are final and the
Commission will not re-litigate their issuance.\11\ The OEP Director,
or his or her designee, will act on those extension requests that are
uncontested.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Contested proceedings are those where an intervenor disputes
any material issue of the filing. 18 CFR 385.2201(c)(1) (2020).
    \8\ Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC, 170 FERC 61,144, at P 40
(2020).
    \9\ Id. P 40.
    \10\ Similarly, the Commission will not re-litigate the issuance
of an NGA section 3 authorization, including whether a proposed
project is not inconsistent with the public interest and whether the
Commission's environmental analysis for the permit order complied
with NEPA.

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing that a
proposed collection of information has been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget

(OMB) for review and clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995.

DATES: Fax written comments on the collection of information by

ADDRESSES: To ensure that comments on the information collection are
received, OMB recommends that written comments be faxed to the Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs, OMB, Attn: FDA Desk Officer,
FAX:<PHONE_NUMBER>, or e-mailed to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>All
comments should be identified with the OMB control number 0910-0553.
Also include the FDA docket number found in brackets in the heading of
this document.

Daniel Gittleson, Office of Information Management, Food and Drug
Administration, 1350 Piccard Dr., PI50-400B, Rockville, MD 20850, 301-
796-5156, e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.

Medical Devices: Recommended Glossary and Educational Outreach to
Support Use of Symbols on Labels and in Labeling of In Vitro Diagnostic
Devices Intended for Professional Use--(OMB Control Number 0910-0553)--
Extension

    Section 502 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C
Act) (21 U.S.C. 352), among other things, establishes requirements for
the label or labeling of a medical device so that it is not misbranded.
Section 351 of the Public Health Service Act (the PHS Act) (42 U.S.C.
262) establishes requirements that manufacturers of biological products
must submit a license application for FDA review and approval prior to
marketing a biological product for introduction into interstate
commerce.
    In the Federal Register of November 30, 2004 (69 FR 69606), FDA
published a notice of availability of the guidance entitled ``Use of
Symbols on Labels and in Labeling of In Vitro Diagnostic Devices
Intended for Professional Use.'' The guidance document provides
guidance for the voluntary use of selected symbols in place of text in
labeling. It provides the labeling guidance required for: (1) In vitro
diagnostic devices (IVDs), intended for professional use under 21 CFR
809.10, FDA's labeling requirements for IVDs; and (2) FDA's labeling
requirements for biologics, including IVDs under 21 CFR parts 610 and
660. Under section 502(c) of the FD&C Act, a drug or device is
misbranded, ``* * *If any word, statement, or other information
required by or under authority of this Act to appear on the label or
labeling is not prominently placed thereon with such conspicuousness
(as compared with other words, statements, designs, or devices, in the
labeling) and in such terms as to render it likely to be read and
understood by the ordinary individual under customary conditions of
purchase and use.''
    The guidance document recommends that a glossary of terms accompany
each IVD to define the symbols used on that device's labels and/or
labeling. Furthermore, the guidance recommends an educational outreach
effort to enhance the understanding of newly introduced symbols. Both
the glossary and educational outreach information will help to ensure
that IVD users will have enough general familiarity with the symbols
used, as well as provide a quick reference for available materials,
thereby further ensuring that such labeling satisfies the labeling
requirements under section 502(c) of the FD&C Act and section 351 of
the PHS Act.
    The likely respondents for this collection of information are IVD
manufacturers who plan to use the selected symbols in place of text on
the labels and/or labeling of their IVDs.
    The glossary activity is inclusive of both domestic and foreign IVD
manufacturers. FDA receives submissions from approximately 689 IVD
manufacturers annually. The number of hours per response for the
glossary and educational outreach activities were derived from
consultation with a trade association and FDA personnel. The 4-hour
estimate for a glossary is based on the average time necessary for a
manufacturer to modify the glossary for the specific symbols used in
labels or labeling for the IVDs manufactured.
    In the Federal Register of October 5, 2010 (75 FR 61494), FDA
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed
collection of information. No comments were received.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
