These information collection requirements help prevent the transmission of communicable diseases through human tissue transplantation by requiring written SOPs and the maintenance of records of all significant steps in testing, processing, distribution, and final disposition of the tissue, and which FDA investigators can review to evaluate whether the SOPs are consistent with the regulations and to determine that an establishment is following the procedures documented in the SOPs. If FDA is unable to ascertain how a tissue donor was screened or tested, or if the tissue was distributed in violation of the regulations, then recall, retention, and/or destruction orders may be issued by FDA in accordance with codified administrative procedures.

The previous burden estimate was 783,332 hours. The increase in burden to 1,080,760 (~ 300,000) hours is mostly attributed to an increase in the number of establishments and number of total annual records under 1270.33 (~100,000 hours) and 1270.35 (~200,000 hours). The reduction listed as a program change is the result of an elimination of an IC. Those burden hours were transferred to another IC and do not represent a reduction in burden.
