This ICR supports an agency program by
which respondents may be included on an established list of U.S.
dairy firms who wish to export to foreign countries. Respondents
who wish to be included on the list will voluntarily send
information to FDA, including the name and address of the firm and
the manufacturing plant, a list of products presently shipped and
expected to be shipped in the future, and identities of agencies
that inspect the plant, plant number and copy of last
inspection.
This is an approval request in
which both the total annual number of responses and the total
annual hour burden are being increased. The total annual number of
responses increased from 163 to 300 responses (an increase of 137)
and the total annual hour burden has increased from 176 to 338
hours (an increase of 162). The increase is due to industry growth,
resulting in an increased number of respondents. These adjustments
are discussed more fully at Q.15 of the supporting statement Part
A.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
