Abstract: The elements of the animal feed regulatory program standards are intended to ensure that the States have the best practices of a high-quality regulatory program to use for self-assessment and continuous improvement and innovation. The eleven standards describe the critical elements of a regulatory program designed to protect the safety and integrity of the U.S. animal feed supply. The standards include the following: 1) regulatory foundation; 2) training; 3) inspection program; 4) auditing; 5) feed-related illness or death and emergency response; 6) enforcement program; 7) outreach activities; 8) budget and planning; 9) assessment and improvement; 10) laboratory services; and 11) sampling program. Each standard has corresponding self-assessment worksheets, and certain standards have supplemental worksheets and forms that will assist State programs in determining their level of conformance with the standard. FDA will use the program standards as a tool to improve contracts with State agencies. The program standards will assist both FDA and the States in fulfilling their regulatory obligations.

Short Statement: In 2014, this ICR was approved for a burden of 150,000 hours. This was calculated based on 50 respondents (50 States) with an average of 3,000 recordkeeping hours for each. Since then, FDA has enrolled 40 States in the program, with the average recordkeeping burden remaining the same. This change accounts for the decrease in the "Number of Recordkeepers" and "Total Hours" (120,000) shown in Table 1.
