This request seeks information from
federal, state, local, territorial, and tribal entitities regarding
the establishment of regulatory program standards to ensure the
safety of retail food service establishments. Respondents use the
national standards developed by FDA to address risk factors
associated with food retail service and to assess the effectiveness
of the programs implemented to safeguard against foodborne illness.
Adherence to the program allows respondents to seek listing in
FDA's National Registry Report.
The information collection
reflects adjustments. As previously discussed, we estimate the
consolidation of Forms FDA 3519 and 3520 into new Form 3958 has
resulted in a reduction of 50 burden hours with a corresponding
reduction in annual responses of 500.
