OMB Burden Statement FDA Form
3540
*Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to take one hour each time
an import entry is submitted on form 3540. An import entry, on average, constitutes 2.6 different
articles of food; with a prior notice submitted for each article. Therefore we estimate that submitting
prior notice for each article of food will take 23 mintues to complete, including the time for
reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data
needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.
Send comments regarding this burden estimate or another aspect of this collection of information,
including suggestions for reducing this burden to:
Department of Health and Human Services
Food and Drug Administration
Paperwork Reduction Act Office
Director, JonnaLynn Capezutto
8455 Colesville Road, Room 14526
Silver Spring, MD 20910

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control
number.

FIS was created, in part, in response to the Bioterrorism Act of 2002 (http://www.fda.gov/regulatoryinformation/legislation/ucm148797.htm), which gave high priority
to improved information management to help protect the food supply. The Act requires that FDA develop two systems: one to support the registration of facilities that
manufacture, process, pack, or hold food products intended for consumption in the United States and one to receive prior notice before food is imported or offered for import
into the United States. Under the law, facilities must be registered by December 12, 2003 when Prior Notice went into effect.
