This information collection request supports agency rulemaking to establish additional recordkeeping requirements pertaining to the traceability of foods. Respondents to the information collection are persons who manufacture, process, pack, or hold foods.
Our estimated burden for the information collection reflects an overall increase of 4,227,299 hours but a corresponding decrease of 5,371,888 records. We attribute the increase in hours to the return of burden for part 1, subpart J along with adjustments to the average burden per recordkeeping. We attribute the decrease in records due to the reconsideration of activities such as learning new requirements and training staff and incorporating the time for these activities as part of the actual information collection.
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).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
