The information obtained from the registration of blood establishments and the listing of blood products on Form FDA 2830 is used by FDA, and other government agencies, to keep an accurate, up to date list of all blood establishments and their different products, not only located in this country, but also those in foreign countries. In addition, the data is used by industry, consumers, private institutions, etc., to keep up with the names and locations of blood establishments and their various blood products. Data from this file is used for many purposes and is essential for the sending out of letters by FDA and other government agencies regarding emerging health problems as they relate to the blood product industry. In addition, FDA uses the information on the different types of listed products for both regulatory and research purposes.
The information obtained through the registration and product listing of domestic and foreign blood establishments assists FDA in its inspections of facilities. This information is essential to the overall regulatory scheme designed to ensure the safety of the nation's blood supply.
The estimated total annual burden for this information collection was 1,389 hours in 2011. The slight increase to 1,418 hours (+29 hours) is mostly attirbuted to an increase in the number of initial registrations of blood product establishments (foreign and domestic).
