7. Title Compliance Assistance Surveys for the Marina, Metal Finishing, Construction Site, and Auto Salvage Yard Sectors 8. Agency form number( s) ( If applicable) EPA ICR Number 2021.01 9. Keywords Marina, Metal Finishing, Construction Site, Auto Salvage Yard, Survey, Site visit survey 10. Abstract EPA's Office of Compliance ( OC) is interested in testing methods for collecting outcome data from their compliance assistance efforts. OC is planning to conduct surveys to three sectors to compare two survey methodologies: mailed surveys using the " total design method" and surveys conducted as on site visits. EPA will also use the survey results to evaluate the impact of compliance assistance activities on facilities in these sectors. These surveys will support OC in collecting statistically valid compliance assistance outcome data needed to present the impacts of compliance assistance for Government Performance and Results Act ( GPRA) reporting purposes. OC is interested in conducting the surveys for sectors in three stages of analysis/ activity: 1) a sector for which OC is beginning a compliance assistance effort ( marinas); 2) a sector for which OC/ EPA have conducted several compliance assistance activities ( metal finishing); and 3) a sector for which OC doesn't have sufficient information to determine compliance assistance needs ( either construction sites or auto salvage yards). EPA Region 1 is planning a marinas initiative to provide marinas with basic regulatory information and to encourage " beyond compliance" behavior through the dissemination of a wide variety of tools. EPA Region I would like to conduct statistically valid voluntary mail and site visit surveys on a subset of the approximate 1,200 marinas in Region 1. These surveys will be used to 1) determine to what degree key environmental practices are currently in use at Region 1 marinas and 2) get a better sense of the compliance challenges faced by this sector. The results of the survey will be used to establish a performance baseline at the start of this initiative. After implementation of the compliance assistance, a follow up survey will be conducted to determine progress against the baseline. OC is soliciting comment whether to conduct statistically valid voluntary mail and site visit surveys of facilities in one of these sectors using the same approach as described above for the marina and metal finishing sectors. Since the population for construction sites and auto salvage yards is not known, OC will conduct double stage cluster sampling as described in Part B of this supporting statement.

[Docket ID FEMA-2023-0002]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland
Security.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: New or modified Base (1-percent annual chance) Flood
Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA)
boundaries or zone designations, and/or regulatory floodways
(hereinafter referred to as flood hazard determinations) as shown on
the indicated Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) for each of the communities
listed in the table below are finalized. Each LOMR revises the Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and in some cases the Flood Insurance
Study (FIS) reports, currently in effect for the listed communities.

DATES: Each LOMR was finalized as in the table below.

ADDRESSES: Each LOMR is available for inspection at both the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the table below and online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
[email protected]; or visit the FEMA Mapping and Insurance
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) makes the final flood hazard determinations as shown in the
LOMRs for each community listed in the table below. Notice of these
modified flood hazard determinations has been published in newspapers
of local circulation and 90 days have elapsed since that publication.
The Deputy Associate Administrator for Insurance and Mitigation has
resolved any appeals resulting from this notification.
    The modified flood hazard determinations are made pursuant to
section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4105, and are in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq., and with 44 CFR part 65. The currently
effective community number is shown and must be used for all new
policies and renewals.
    The new or modified flood hazard information is the basis for the
floodplain management measures that the community is required either to
adopt or to show evidence of being already in effect in order to remain
qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
    This new or modified flood hazard information, together with the
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the
community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent
in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any
time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies
established by other Federal, State, or regional entities.
    This new or modified flood hazard determinations are used to meet
the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP. The changes in
flood hazard determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    Interested lessees and owners of real property are encouraged to
review the final flood hazard information available at the address
cited below for each community or online through the FEMA Map Service
Center at https://msc.fema.gov.

(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on October 27, 2005, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Inc. (``CBOE''
or ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III below, which Items have been substantially prepared by the
Exchange. CBOE filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change on
December 7, 2005.\3\ The Commission is publishing this notice to

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Amendment No. 1 replaced the original filing in its
entirety.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    CBOE proposes to amend its rules to adopt a Hybrid Agency Liaison
(``HAL'') system for automated handling of inbound orders. The text of
the proposed rule change is set forth below. Proposed new language is
in italics.

Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated

Rules

* * * * *

Rule 6.13. CBOE Hybrid System's Automatic Execution Feature

    (a) No change.
    (b) Automatic Execution
    (i)-(iii) No change.
    (iv) Executions at NBBO: Eligible orders in classes that are
multiply traded will not be automatically executed on CBOE at prices
that are inferior to the NBBO and instead shall route to HAL, the PAR
workstation in the trading crowd or, at the order entry firm's
discretion, to BART. Eligible orders received while the CBOE market is
locked (e.g., $1.00 bid--$1.00 offered) shall be eligible for automatic
execution at CBOE's disseminated quote, provided that the disseminated
quote is not inferior to the NBBO.
    (c)-(e) No change.
* * * * *

Rule 6.14 Hybrid Agency Liaison (HAL)

    This Rule governs the operation of the HAL system. HAL is a feature
within the Hybrid System that provides automated order handling in
designated Hybrid option classes for qualifying electronic orders that
are not automatically executed by the Hybrid System.
    (a) HAL Eligibility. The Exchange, with input from the appropriate
Floor Procedure Committee, shall designate the classes in which HAL
shall be activated. For such classes, HAL shall automatically process
upon receipt, as set forth in subparagraph (b) below, market and limit
orders under the following circumstances:
    (i) Market orders or limit orders that are marketable against the
Exchange's disseminated quotation while that quotation is not the NBBO;
    (ii) Limit orders that would improve the Exchange's disseminated
quotation and that are marketable against quotations disseminated by
other exchanges that are participants in the Intermarket Options
Linkage; and
    (iii) Limit orders that would improve the Exchange's disseminated
quotation.
    (b) HAL Order Handling. Orders that are received by HAL pursuant to
subparagraph (a) above shall immediately upon receipt be electronically
exposed to all Market-Makers appointed to the relevant option class as
well as all members acting as agent for orders at the top of the
Exchange's book (``Qualifying Members'') in the relevant option series.
The exposure shall be for a period of time determined by the Exchange
on a class-by-class basis, with input from the appropriate Floor
Procedure Committee, which period of time shall not exceed 1.5 seconds.
If during the exposure period, a Market-Maker or Qualifying Member (on
behalf of the order it is representing) commits to trade with any
portion of the order, then the exposure period shall end (the Exchange
will disseminate a last sale report for the quantity committed to) and
an allocation period shall commence (with additional last sale reports
being immediately disseminated for any additional portions of the order
that are committed to during this period). At no point will HAL execute
an order, or any portion of an order, if such execution would cause a
trade-through. The allocation period shall be a period of time
determined by the Exchange on a class-by-class basis, with input from
the appropriate Floor Procedure Committee, which period of time, when
combined with the designated exposure period time (as opposed to an
exposure period that is terminated early), shall not exceed a total of
three (3) seconds. Allocation of the order shall be pursuant to
subparagraph (c) below. If no responses are received during the
exposure period or if there remains an unexecuted portion of an order
at the conclusion of the allocation period, then the order (the
``Remaining Order'') shall be processed as follows:
    (i) If the Remaining Order is for the account of a public customer
and is marketable against another exchange that is a participant in the
Intermarket Options Linkage, then HAL shall route a P/A Order on behalf
of the Remaining Order through the Linkage and any resulting execution
of the P/A Order shall be allocated to the Remaining Order. If the P/A
Order cannot be transmitted from the Exchange because the price of the
P/A Order (or a better price) is no longer available on any market,
then HAL shall, pursuant to normal order allocation processing, execute
the Remaining Order against the Exchange's quote (provided such
execution would not cause a trade-through) including, if appropriate,
at the Exchange's BBO at the time the order was received by HAL
(``Exchange Initial BBO'') against the Market-Makers that constituted
the Exchange Initial BBO;
    (ii) If the Remaining Order is marketable against another exchange
that is a participant in the Intermarket Options Linkage but is not for
the account of a public customer, then HAL, when the system is enabled,
shall route a Principal Order on behalf of the Remaining Order through
the Linkage and any resulting execution of the Principal Order shall be
allocated to the Remaining Order. If the Principal Order cannot be
transmitted from the Exchange because the price of the Principal Order
(or a better price) is no longer available on any market, then HAL
shall, pursuant to normal order allocation processing, execute the
Remaining Order against the Exchange's quote (provided such execution
would not cause a trade-through) including, if appropriate, at the
Exchange Initial BBO at the time the order was received by HAL against
the Market-Makers that constituted the Exchange Initial BBO. Until the
HAL system is enabled to route Principal Orders, the Remaining Order
shall route to PAR;
    (iii) If the Remaining Order is not marketable (either on the
Exchange or another exchange) it shall be entered into the Hybrid book
for dissemination.
    (c) Allocation of Exposed Orders. Each Market-Maker or Qualifying
Member that submits an order or quote to trade with an order during the
exposure or allocation periods shall be entitled to receive an
allocation of the order in accordance with the allocation algorithm in
effect for the option class pursuant to Rule 6.45A or 6.45B. There is
no participation entitlement applicable to exposed orders, and response
sizes are limited to the size of the exposed order for allocation
purposes.
    (d) Early Termination of Exposure Period. In addition to the
receipt of a response to trade any portion of the exposed order, the
exposure period will also terminate early under the following
circumstances:
    (i) If during the exposure period the Hybrid System receives an
unrelated order on the opposite side of the market from the exposed
order that could trade against the exposed order at the prevailing NBBO
price, then the orders will trade. However, the exposure period shall
not terminate for any quantity that remains on the exposed order after
such trade;
    (ii) If during the exposure period the Hybrid System receives an
unrelated order on the same side of the market as the exposed order
that is priced equal to or better than the exposed order, then the
exposure period shall terminate and the exposed order shall be
processed in accordance with subparagraph (b) (i), (ii) or (iii), as
appropriate;
    (iii) If during the exposure of an order that is marketable against
the Exchange Initial BBO, a Market-Maker attempts to move its quote to
a price that is inferior to the Exchange Initial BBO, then the exposure
period shall terminate and the exposed order shall be processed in
accordance with subparagraph (b) (i) or (ii), as appropriate.
    (e) Early Termination of Allocation Period.
    (i) If HAL is in the allocation stage of processing an order that
has not been

fully executed (i.e. all responses that have been received to that
point cannot fully execute the order) and the Hybrid System receives an
unrelated order on the opposite side of the market from the order that
could trade against the order at the prevailing NBBO price, then the
orders will trade. However, the allocation period shall not terminate
with respect to any portion of the HAL order that did not execute
against the unrelated order;
    (ii) If HAL is in the allocation stage of processing an order that
has not been fully executed (i.e. all responses that have been received
to that point cannot fully execute the order) and the Hybrid System
receives an unrelated order on the same side of the market as the
order, then the allocation period shall terminate for the unexecuted
portion of the order and the unexecuted portion of the order shall be
processed in accordance with subparagraph (b) (i), (ii) or (iii), as
appropriate;
    (iii) If HAL is in the allocation stage of processing an order that
is marketable against the Exchange Initial BBO and a Market-Maker
attempts to move its quote to a price that is inferior to the Exchange
Initial BBO while any portion of the order remains unexecuted (i.e. all
responses that have been received to that point cannot fully execute
the order), then the allocation period shall terminate and the
unexecuted portion of the order shall be processed in accordance with
subparagraph (b) (i) or (ii), as appropriate.
    * * * Interpretations and Policies:
    .01 A pattern or practice of submitting unrelated orders that cause
an exposure period to conclude early will be deemed conduct
inconsistent with just and equitable principles of trade and a
violation of Rule 4.1 and other Exchange Rules.
    .02 Disseminating information regarding exposed orders to third
parties will be deemed conduct inconsistent with just and equitable
principles of trade and a violation of Rule 4.1 and other Exchange
Rules.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, CBOE included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposal and discussed any
comments it received on the proposal. The text of these statements may
be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. CBOE has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The purpose of the proposed rule change is to implement HAL, a new
order handling system for option classes trading on CBOE's Hybrid
System (``Hybrid''). Hybrid provides electronic executions for orders
that are marketable against the Exchange's quote when it is priced at
the National Best Bid or Offer (``NBBO''). The entire process for those
orders is automated; however, many electronically-received orders that
are not automatically executed upon receipt by the Hybrid System
(usually because CBOE's disseminated quote is not the NBBO) are routed
to a PAR terminal for manual handling. Proposed CBOE Rule 6.14 is meant
to automate the process of handling most orders that would otherwise go
to PAR.
    Currently, if the Exchange receives a marketable order when its
disseminated quote is not the NBBO, the order routes to PAR where it
must be selected by the PAR Official (there may be multiple orders on
PAR at the same time) and then represented to the trading crowd in
open-outcry. The order is represented to determine if any trading crowd
members are willing to step up and match the NBBO price available on
another exchange. If there is interest in the crowd to match the NBBO,
then the order will be manually filled. If there is no interest in
matching the NBBO price, an order will be generated and transmitted via
the Intermarket Option Linkage (``Linkage'') to the NBBO market on
behalf of the order on PAR. If the Linkage order is filled, that fill
will be transferred to the order on PAR. While all of this is done
relatively quickly, the HAL system would automate this process and
reduce the timing to a matter of seconds (in no case more than three
seconds). The following is an explanation of how HAL would work.
    HAL would only be available for classes trading on Hybrid. The
Exchange, with input from the appropriate Floor Procedure Committee,
would designate the Hybrid classes for which HAL would be activated.
For those classes, HAL would process (i) market orders or limit orders
that are marketable against CBOE's disseminated quote while that quote
is not the NBBO; (ii) limit orders that would improve the Exchange's
disseminated quote and that are marketable against quotes disseminated
by other exchanges that are participants in the Plan for the Purpose of
Creating and Operating an Intermarket Options Linkage (``Linkage
Plan''); and (iii) limit orders that are not marketable against the
NBBO but that would improve CBOE's disseminated quote. These orders
would be electronically exposed (flashed) to all Market-Makers
appointed to the relevant option class as well as to all members acting
as agent for orders at the top of the Exchange's book in the relevant
option series (``Qualifying Members'').\4\ Like with open outcry, this
flash would afford crowd members an opportunity to match the away NBBO
price.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Of course, eligible recipients of these ``flash'' messages
may need to undertake some programming modifications in order to
receive and respond to these messages. The Exchange will not require
those programming changes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    HAL's first step in flashing an order would be to gauge if there is
any interest from any Market-Maker or Qualifying Member in matching the
away NBBO price, or, in the case of a limit order that improves CBOE's
quote but is not marketable, in filling the order instead of booking
it. This step is called the exposure period. The exposure would be for
a period of time determined by the Exchange on a class-by-class basis,
with input from the appropriate Floor Procedure Committee, which period
of time would not exceed 1.5 seconds. If during the exposure period, a
Market-Maker or Qualifying Member (on behalf of the order it is
representing) commits to trade with any portion of the order, then the
exposure period would end (with a last sale report being issued for the
quantity that was traded) and an allocation period would begin.
    The allocation period affords other participants that were
attempting to trade with the exposed order a chance to participate in
the execution of the order. The allocation period would be a period of
time determined by the Exchange on a class-by-class basis, with input
from the appropriate Floor Procedure Committee, which period of time,
when combined with the designated exposure period time (as opposed to
an exposure period that is terminated early), would not exceed a total
of three seconds. For example, if the exposure period is set to 1.5
seconds, the allocation period cannot exceed 1.5 seconds. If the
exposure period is set for one second, the allocation period cannot
exceed two seconds. Of course, in that case the Exchange could
determine to set the allocation period at one second or anything less
than two seconds (i.e., the

entire HAL process does not have to equal three seconds). Further, if
an exposure period for a given order is terminated early, the ``unused
balance'' of the exposure period is not added to the allocation period.
    Exposed orders would be allocated at the conclusion of the
allocation period in accordance with the allocation algorithm in effect
for the option class pursuant to CBOE Rule 6.45A or 6.45B. There is no
participation entitlement applicable to exposed orders, and response
sizes are limited to the size of the exposed order for allocation
purposes.
    If no responses are received during the exposure period or if there
remains an unexecuted portion of an order at the conclusion of the
allocation period, then the order (the ``Remaining Order'') would be
booked if it is a limit order that is not marketable, or processed in
one of the following two ways, based on whether the order is for the
account of a public customer. First, if the Remaining Order is for the
account of a public customer and is marketable against another exchange
that is a participant in the Linkage Plan, then HAL would route a
Principal Acting as Agent Linkage Order (``P/A Order'') on behalf of
the Remaining Order through the Linkage and any resulting execution of
the P/A Order would be allocated to the Remaining Order. Second, if the
Remaining Order is marketable against another exchange that is a
participant in the Linkage Plan but is not for the account of a public
customer, then HAL, when the system is enabled, would route a Principal
Linkage Order (``P Order'') on behalf of the Remaining Order through
the Linkage, and any resulting execution of the P Order would be
allocated to the Remaining Order.\5\ Until the HAL system is enabled to
route P Orders, the Remaining Order would route to PAR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ When routing Linkage orders (whether P or P/A), the Exchange
may choose to route only up to the available size at the NBBO as
allowable under the ``trade and ship'' process of the Linkage Plan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In either of these situations, if the Linkage order cannot be
transmitted from the Exchange because the price of the Linkage order
(or a better price) is no longer available on any market, then HAL
would, pursuant to normal order allocation processing, execute the
Remaining Order against the Exchange's quote (provided such execution
would not cause a trade-through), including, if appropriate, at the
Exchange's best bid or offer at the time the order was received by HAL
(``Exchange Initial BBO'') against the Market-Makers that constituted
the Exchange Initial BBO. HAL would effect executions against Market-
Makers at the Exchange Initial BBO by preventing Market-Makers from
moving Exchange Initial BBO quotes to inferior prices until a HAL order
has been executed on CBOE or routed through Linkage.
    The Exchange notes that, in addition to the receipt of a response
to trade any portion of the exposed order, the exposure period would
terminate early under the following circumstances. First, if during the
exposure period the Hybrid System received an unrelated order on the
opposite side of the market from the exposed order that could trade
against the exposed order at the prevailing NBBO price, then the orders
would trade. However, the exposure period would not terminate if a
quantity remains on the exposed order after such trade. Second, if
during the exposure period the Hybrid System received an unrelated
order on the same side of the market as the exposed order that was
priced equal to or better than the exposed order, then the exposure
period would terminate and the exposed order would be processed in the
same manner as an exposed order for which no response to trade was
received during the full exposure period--i.e., routed through the
Linkage or booked, in accordance with proposed CBOE Rule 6.14(b)(i),
(ii), or (iii), as appropriate. Third, if during the exposure of an
order that is marketable against the Exchange Initial BBO a Market-
Maker attempted to move its quote to a price that was inferior to the
Exchange Initial BBO, then the exposure period would terminate and the
exposed order would be processed in the same manner as an exposed order
for which no response to trade was received during the full exposure
period. Meanwhile, the Exchange would not permit any Market-Maker
quotes to move to an inferior price until the exposed order was routed
through Linkage or, if necessary, executed against Market-Makers at the
Exchange Initial BBO.
    Similarly, if HAL were in the allocation stage of processing an
order that has not been fully executed (i.e., an order that was
partially ``hit'' during the exposure period and for which all
responses received to that point could not fully execute the order),
the allocation period would terminate early under the following
circumstances. First, if the Hybrid System received an unrelated order
on the opposite side of the market from the HAL order that could trade
against the HAL order at the prevailing NBBO price, then the orders
would trade. However, the allocation period would not terminate with
respect to any quantity that did not execute against the unrelated
order. Second, if the Hybrid System received an unrelated order on the
same side of the market as the HAL order, then the allocation period
would terminate for the unexecuted portion of the order and the
unexecuted portion of the order would be processed in the same manner
as an exposed order for which no response to trade was received during
the full exposure period--i.e., routed through the Linkage or booked,
in accordance with proposed CBOE Rule 6.14(b)(i), (ii), or (iii), as
appropriate. Third, if HAL were in the allocation stage of an order
that is marketable against the Exchange Initial BBO and a Market-Maker
attempted to move its quote to a price that was inferior to the
Exchange Initial BBO while any portion of the order remained unexecuted
(i.e., all responses that have been received to that point cannot fully
execute the order), then the allocation period would terminate and the
unexecuted portion of the order would be processed in the same manner
as an exposed order for which no response to trade was received during
the full exposure period.
    Finally, the Exchange proposes that a pattern or practice of
submitting unrelated orders that cause an exposure period to conclude
early and disseminating information regarding exposed orders to third
parties would be deemed conduct inconsistent with just and equitable
principles of trade and a violation of CBOE Rule 4.1 and other Exchange
Rules.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b) of the Act \6\ in general, and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \7\ in particular, in that it should promote
just and equitable principles of trade, serve to remove impediments to
and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national
market system, and protect investors and the public interest

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change would
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the Exchange consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve such proposed rule change; or,
    (B) Institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The custom device exemption is set forth at section 520(b)(2)(B) of
the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360j(b)(2)(B)). A custom device is in a narrow
category of device that, by virtue of the rarity of the patient's
medical condition or physician's special need the device is designed to
treat, it would be impractical for the device to comply with premarket
review regulations and performance standards.
    Effective on July 9, 2012, the Food and Drug Administration Safety
and Innovation Act (FDASIA) implemented changes to the custom device
exemption contained in section 520(b) of the FD&C Act. The new
provision amended the existing custom device exemption and introduced
new concepts and procedures for custom devices, such as:
     Devices created or modified in order to comply with the
order of an individual physician or dentist;
     the potential for multiple units of a device type (limited
to no more than five units per year) qualifying for the custom device
exemption; and
     annual reporting requirements by the manufacturer to FDA
about devices manufactured and distributed under section 520(b) of the
FD&C Act.
    Under FDASIA, ``devices'' that qualify for the custom device
exemption contained in section 520(b) of the FD&C Act were clarified to
include no more than ``five units per year of a particular device
type'' that otherwise meet all the requirements necessary to qualify
for the custom device exemption.
    The guidance also provides draft definitions of terms used in the
custom device exemption, explains how FDA plans to interpret the
concept of ``five units per year of a particular device type'' in
section 520(b)(2)(B) of the FD&C Act, describes what information
manufacturers should submit in a custom device annual report (annual
report) to FDA, and provides guidance on how to submit an annual report
for devices distributed under the custom device exemption.
    On November 19, 2012, FDA published a Notice of Request for
Comments in the Federal Register (77 FR 69488), requesting stakeholders
to submit information on and examples of appropriate use of the custom
device exemption for assistance in drafting this guidance based on
specific questions asked in the Notice. FDA has reviewed all the
comments from the Notice and has taken them into consideration for this
draft guidance.

II. Significance of Guidance

    This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good
guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when
finalized, will represent the Agency's current thinking on the custom
device exemption. It does not create or confer any rights for or on any
person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative
approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the
applicable statute and regulations.

III. Electronic Access

    Persons interested in obtaining a copy of the draft guidance may do
so by using the Internet. A search capability for all Center for
Devices and Radiological Health guidance documents is available at
http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/GuidanceDocuments/default.htm. Guidance documents are also available at

IV. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3501-3520), Federal Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they
conduct or sponsor. ``Collection of Information'' is defined in 44
U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or
requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records,
or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal Agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed
collection of information before submitting the collection to OMB for
approval. To comply with this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of
the proposed collection of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's
functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Draft Guidance for Custom Device Exemption

    This guidance is intended to assist industry by providing draft
definitions of terms used in the custom device exemption, explains how
FDA proposes to interpret the ``five units per year of a particular
device type'' language contained in section 520(b)(2)(B) of the FD&C
Act, describes what information FDA proposes should be submitted in a
custom device annual report, and provides recommendations on how to
submit an annual report in preparing for annual reports for devices
distributed under the custom device exemption. In addition,
manufacturers of custom devices are required to sign and submit a
Custom Devices Annual Report Truthful and Accurate certificate with
their annual report.
    Description of Respondents: The respondents of this collection of
information are manufacturers of medical devices deemed to be custom
devices subject to FDA's laws and regulations. The Agency estimates the
burden of this collection of information as follows:

1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

    FDA estimates it will receive 33 reports for custom devices
annually. The Agency reached this estimate by the number of pre-FDASIA
manufacturers who qualified for custom devices and that percentage of
current manufactures that qualify under post-FDASIA requirements. Only
10 percent of manufacturers would meet this qualification, which was
calculated by adding the number of estimated old custom device
manufactures with the estimated new manufacturers submitting annual
reports of custom devices each year. FDA estimates it will take custom
device manufacturers approximately 40 hours to complete the annual
report described in section VI of the draft guidance. FDA reached this
time estimate based on its expectation of the amount of information
that should be included in the report.
    Before the proposed information collection provisions contained in
this draft guidance become effective, FDA will publish a notice in the
Federal Register announcing OMB's decision to approve, modify, or
disapprove the information collection provisions. An Agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless it display a currently valid OMB
control number.
    This draft guidance also refers to previously approved collections
of information found in FDA regulations. These collections of
information are subject to review by OMB under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520). The collections of information in 21 CFR 814, subparts B and E
have been approved under OMB control number 0910-0231; the collections
of information in 21 part 812 have been approved under OMB control
number 0910-0078; and the collections of information in 21 part 807,
subpart E have been approved under OMB control number 0910-0120.
