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.
Export of Food and Drug Administration-Regulated Products: Export Certificates
OMB Control Number 0910-0498-Extension
Sections 801(e) and 802 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 381(e) and 382) pertain to the export of FDA-regulated products and are intended to ease restrictions on exportation. The provisions also require the Agency to issue written export certifications within 20 days of any request. In January 2011, section 801(e)(4)(A) was amended by the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (Pub. L. 111-353) to provide authorization for export certification for food and animal feed, as well as certain unapproved products. To offset Agency resource expenditures for processing certifications requests, the statute provides that FDA may charge firms a fee not to exceed $175.

"Exporter's Certification Statement Certificate to Foreign Government (For Human Tissue Intended for Transplantation)". | For the export of products legally marketed in the United States. |
| "Supplementary Information Certificate of Exportability Requests" Exporter's Certification Statement Certificate of Exportability". | For the export of products not approved for marketing in the United States (unapproved products) that meet the requirements of sections 801(e) or 802 of the FD&C Act. |
| "Supplementary Information Certificate of a Pharmaceutical Product" "Exporter's Certification Statement Certificate of a Pharmaceutical Product" | Conforms to the format established by the World Health Organization and is intended for use by the importing country when the product in question is under consideration for a product license that will authorize its importation and sale or for renewal, extension, amending, or reviewing a license. |

Appropriate centers within FDA review product information submitted by firms in support of the firms' certificate requests. We rely on respondents to certify their compliance with all applicable requirements of the FD&C Act both at the time the certification request is submitted to FDA and at the time the certification is submitted to the respective foreign government. Information regarding FDA's Export Certificates may be found on our website at https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/fda-export-certificates.
On September 16, 2020, we submitted an information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to revise certain data elements as may be applicable under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). Because Section 3856 of the CARES Act contained immediately effective provisions obligating FDA to review and process certification requests, we requested emergency processing by OMB under 5 CFR 1320.13 for the respective information collection. Our information collection request was granted by OMB on September 29, 2020. Therefore, in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), we invite comment on the burden we attribute to the information collection, which we estimate as follows:
| FDA center | Number of Respondents | Number of Responses per Respondent | Total Anual responses | Average burden per response | Total hours |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research | 2,651 | 1 | 2,651 | 1 | 2,651 |
| Center for Devices and Radiological Health | 11,175 | 1 | 11,175 | 2 | 22,350 |
| Center for Drug Evaluation and Research | 3,680 | 1 | 3,680 | 1 | 3,680 |
| Center for Veterinary Medicine | 1,925 | 1 | 1,925 | 1 | 1,925 |
| Total | 30,606 | ||||
| 1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. | |||||
Based on our current evaluation of the information collection, we have made no adjustments since our last request for OMB review and approval.
Dated: December 14, 2020.

Acting Principal Associate Commissioner for Policy.
