This collection requires manufacturers, processors, holders, and distributers of foods to provide registration information to the agency including name, location, contact information, etc. Information provided will help the agency quickly identify facilities that might be affected by a deliberate or accidental contamination of the food supply and to target its resources in protecting the public in the event of such contamination.
The time burden shown in the current inventory (505,696 hours) is higher than the requested burden of 468,117 hours. This adjustment is the result of a reduction in the estimated number of new domestic and foreign registrations. Additionally, IC nos. 5, 6, and 8 were removed/deleted, as the burden for these previously new elements are now incorporated into the existing approved elements respectively.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
