**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.
*Exports: Notification and Recordkeeping Requirements—21 CFR Part 1 (OMB Control Number 0910-0482)—Extension*
In the *Federal Register* of December 27, 2004 (69 FR 77255), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the information collection provisions. No comments were received.
The total burden estimate of 43,214 is based on the number of notifications received by the relevant FDA centers in fiscal year 2004, or the last year the figures were available.
The respondents to this information collection are exporters who have notified FDA of their intent to export unapproved products that may not be sold or marketed in the United States as allowed under section 801(e) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 381). In general, the notification identifies the product being exported (e.g., name, description, and, in some cases, country of destination) and specifies where the notification should be sent. These notifications are sent only for an initial export; subsequent exports of the same product to the same destination, or in the case of certain countries identified in section 802(b) of the act (21 U.S.C. 382), would not result in a notification to FDA.
The recordkeepers for this information collection are exporters who export human drugs, biologics, devices, animal drugs, foods, and cosmetics that may not be sold in the United States to maintain records demonstrating their compliance with the requirements in section 801(e)(1) of the act.
