Abstract: Section 801(e)(4) of the Act provides that persons exporting certain FDA-regulated products may request that FDA certify that the products meet the requirements of sections 801(e) or 802 or other requirements of the Act. The Act does not require FDA to issue certificates for food, including animal feeds, food and feed additives, and dietary supplements, or cosmetics. However, since foreign governments may require certificates for these types of products, the agency intends to continue to provide this service as resources permit. Section 801(e)(4) of the Act also provides that FDA may charge a fee of up to $175 if FDA issues a certificate within 20 days of receipt of a complete request for such a certificate. This fee may vary depending on the product type, but it will not exceed $175.

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Forms

Short Statement: Program change #1: In addition to the certificates for which we are seeking approval in this ICR FDA also issues export certificates for CDER and CFSAN. Both CDER and CFSAN have initiated their own ICRs for their export certificates as their process has changed based on electronic submission of this information. They each wish to have their ICRs approved separately under different OMB approval numbers. This program change resulted in a decrease for this ICR in responses, total burden and annual cost burden. Program change #2: CVM already had in place the issuance of certificates for animal drugs. In January 2011, section 801(e)(4)(A) was amended by the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) to provide authorization for export certification fees for food and animal feed. This program change resulted in an increase of both respondents and burden hours from 855 to 1,848. Adjustment #1: CDRH experienced an increase in the number of export certificates issued over the past three years. This adjustment resulted in an increase in responses from 6,463 to 10,528 and an increase in burden hours from 12,926 to 21,056. (A difference of 4,065 and 8,130, respectively.) Adjustment #2: Also removed from the list of ICs was the IC entitled, "Cost of Certificates" which was an erroneous entry of 50,942 responses and $3,107,462. This, we believe, was an attempt to record a separate IC for the cost of CFSAN certificates.
