Abstract: Section 801(m) of the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C.381(m) requires that FDA receive prior notice for food, including food for animals, that is imported or offered for import into the United States. This information collection supports the requirements for submitting prior notice under agency regulations. Advance notice of imported food allows FDA, with the support of the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP), to target import inspections more effectively and help protect the nations' food supply against terrorist acts and other public health emergencies. Respondents to this collection are manufacturers, packers, and distributors of food products.
