This ICR supports agency programs by which respondents who satisfy specified criteria may voluntarily be included on established lists of those wanting to export FDA-regulated products to foreign countries. Respondents who wish to be included on the list will voluntarily send information to FDA, including the name and address of the firm and the manufacturing plant, a list of products presently shipped and expected to be shipped in the future, and identities of agencies that inspect the plant, plant number and copy of last inspection.
We have upgraded the electronic reporting module (ELM) for respondents to the collection and have consolidated like information collections from OMB Control Nos. 0910-0320 and 0910-0839. Overall this reflects an increase in responses from 4,200 to 5,190 (+990 responses) and a corresponding increase in burden hours from 3,100 to 22,288 hours (+19,188 hours).
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).
