This ICR collects both mandatory and voluntary information regarding adverse events associated with FDA-regulated products that are submitted electronically using agency data-collection applications. Because the agency continues to move from a paper/manual submissions process for reporting adverse events to an electronic systems process, the scope of the ICR is limited to those product areas for which an electronic portal has been developed. Respondents include both manufacturers and distributors of FDA products, as well as individual consumers. The information collected enables FDA to identify potential public health threats and implement mitigation strategies as appropriate.
Our estimated burden for the information collection reflects an overall increase of 688,547 hours and a corresponding increase of 1,145,763 responses. The majority of these adjustments is attributed to the shift in mandatory reports associated with medical devices (mandatory reports via the ESG), which had previously been counted under OMB Control 0910-0291.
