This information collection request
supports agency guidance for manufacturers of specified products
with interest in exporting to China. The guidance includes
recommendations for respondents that we believe will help
facilitate trade in this regard.
The United States and
China have been in negotiations to enter into a Memorandum of
Understanding (“China MOU”) under which China would permit the
manufacturers/processors to export from the United States to China
covered products in a manner consistent with Chinese law. As the
competent authority recognized by China with respect to
FDA-regulated foods, FDA helps facilitate international trade of
such products. With respect to the collection of information at
issue, we intend to facilitate trade by establishing and
maintaining a list of exporters of covered products that meet
certain criteria requested by China under the China MOU.
Specifically, under the China MOU, FDA intends to include on the
export list those manufacturers/processors over which FDA has
regulatory oversight; that FDA has determined to be in good
regulatory standing; and that have provided FDA with a
certification of the manufacturer’s/processor’s compliance with
Chinese standards, laws, and regulations from a third-party
certification body recognized by China. The collection is thus
essential to the mission of the agency under §
1320.13(a)(1)(ii)).
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.
