This collection is approved as previously amended. See also docket number 0910-0346. In addition, FDA agrees that information on the prevalence of HACCP in foreign processors is important to determining the effects of any U.S. regualation in this area. OMB supports HHS conducting an assessment of the legal/regulatory frameworks of trading partners to determine existing requirements, and encourages HHS to assess the feasibility of surveying foreign firms to measure actual implemenation. Also, FDA agrees that initial contacts should be maximized to ensure high response rates; the existing design would result in a response rate for small firms of roughly 60% (HHS may remove from this rate any companies who are out of business or otherwise out of scope).
