SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the

‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal
Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, FDA is publishing notice
of the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document.
With respect to the following
collection of information, FDA invites
comments on these topics: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of FDA’s functions, including whether
the information will have practical

utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques,
when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology.
Survey of Current Manufacturing
Practices for the Cosmetics Industry—
OMB Control Number 0910—New
FDA has the responsibility to protect
public health and, as part of this broad
mandate, oversees the safety of the
nation’s cosmetic products. The Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C
Act) prohibits the introduction into
interstate commerce of any cosmetic
that is adulterated or misbranded.
The FD&C Act defines cosmetics as
articles intended to be rubbed, poured,
sprinkled, or sprayed on, introduced
into, or otherwise applied to the human
body for cleansing, beautifying,
promoting attractiveness, or altering the
appearance. Among the products
included in this definition are skin
moisturizers, perfumes, lipsticks,
fingernail polishes, eye and facial

makeup, cleansing shampoos,
permanent waves, hair colors,
deodorants, and tattoo inks, as well as
any substance intended for use as a
component of a cosmetic product. Some
cosmetic products are also regulated as
drugs.
As with other commodities FDA
regulates, the safety of cosmetic
products can be ensured in part through
a manufacturer’s approach to the
management of cosmetic quality. To
date, FDA has not identified in the
published literature any systematic,
detailed study of the diversity of the
practices and standards employed
across the cosmetic industry to ensure
product quality and safety. This study is
intended to fill this gap. FDA proposes
to conduct a voluntary survey of
cosmetics establishments to identify the
current quality management and safety
practices in the cosmetic industry.
The survey instrument will collect
data, on a voluntary basis, from
cosmetic product manufacturers on the
following topics:
• Written Procedures and
Documentation—including written
procedures and records for
manufacturing involving personnel, raw
materials, processing, cleaning,
maintenance, finished products, and
training.

• Buildings and Equipment—
including facility space, pest control,
practices ensuring the cleanliness and
sanitation, water usage and treatment,
and the proper functioning and
operation of equipment.
• Materials and Manufacturing—
including practices for inventory
management, labeling and storage of
raw materials, closures, and in process
materials; and in process standard
operating procedures.
• Quality Control/Product Testing—
including the scope of the quality
control unit, laboratory testing, dealing
with rejected or returned products and
complaints, and corrective actions.
In addition, FDA will obtain the
characteristics of surveyed
establishments such as the types of
cosmetics produced, published
standards and guidelines followed, the
number of employees, the volume of
production, and the approximate
revenue. The survey will be
administered by web or by mail
(respondent choice) and it will be
directed to the Plant Manager of the
cosmetics establishment.
This is a new, one-time data
collection. FDA does not plan to collect
this data from the cosmetics industry on
an ongoing basis.
FDA estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows:

are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

We will select a sample of 898
establishments. After adjusting for
ineligibility (i.e., firms that do not
produce cosmetic products and those no
longer in operation) and a response rate
of 70 percent, we expect 564 completed
surveys.
We expect each individual survey
invitation to take 5 minutes (0.08 hour)
to complete. Multiplying by the 898
establishments that will receive the
survey invitation, we estimate the time
burden of the survey invitation to be
71.84 hours. We expect each individual
survey to take 30 minutes (0.5 hour) to
complete. Multiplying by the estimated
564 establishments that will complete
the survey, we estimate the time burden
of the survey to be 282 hours. We
estimate the total hourly reporting
