FDA Seeks Comments on Estimated Time Burdens Related to Recalls

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeks public comments on the estimated time burdens relating to the extension of an existing information collection pertaining to the recalls of all FDA-regulated products (including food, animal feed, drugs, animal drugs, medical devices, cosmetics, biological products intended for human use, and tobacco). The estimates are based on the total number of recalls from 2011 to 2013 (11,403) averaged to 3,801 per year and involve the time burdens of complying with the voluntary reporting requirements of the agency’s recall regulations. Comments must be submitted by October 3, 2014. See Federal Register, August 4, 2014.
