Title: Child Care and Development
Fund Annual Financial Report for
Tribes (ACF–696T).
OMB No.: 0970–0195.
Description: The Child Care and
Development Fund (CCDF) annual
financial reporting form (ACF–696T)
provides a mechanism for Indian tribes
to report expenditures under the CCDF
program. The CCDF program provides
funds to tribes, as well as States and
Territories, to assist low-income
families in obtaining child care so that
they can work or attend training/
education, and to improve the quality of
care. Information collected via the ACF–
696T allows the Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) to monitor
expenditures and to estimate outlays,
and may be used to prepare ACF budget
submissions to Congress. The proposed
information collection is identical to the
currently used ACF–696T form for
which the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval expires on
March 31, 2005.
Respondents: Indian tribes and tribal
organizations that are CCDF grantees.

AGENCY:

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) is announcing an
opportunity for public comment on the
proposed collection of certain
information by the agency. Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the
PRA), Federal agencies are required to
publish notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension of an existing collection of
information, and to allow 60 days for
public comment in response to the
notice. This notice solicits comments on
a voluntary consumer survey entitled
‘‘Allergen Labeling of Food Products
Consumer Preference Survey’’ and an
experimental study entitled
‘‘Experimental Study on Allergen
Labeling of Food Products.’’
DATES: Submit written or electronic
comments on the collection of
information by March 28, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Submit written comments
to the Division of Dockets Management
(HFA–305), Food and Drug
Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm.
1061, Rockville, MD 20852. Submit
electronic comments to https://
www.fda.gov/dockets/ecomments. All
comments should be identified with the
docket number found in brackets in the
heading of this document.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Peggy Robbins, Office of Management
Programs (HFA–250), Food and Drug
Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane,
Rockville, MD 20857, 301–827–1223.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘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,
including each proposed extension of an
existing 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
3711
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.
Allergen Labeling of Food Products
Consumer Preference Survey
Under section 903(b)(2) of the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act)
(21 U.S.C. 393(b)(2)), FDA is authorized
to conduct research relating to foods
and to conduct educational and public
information programs relating to the
safety of the Nation’s food supply. FDA
is planning to conduct a consumer
survey about allergen labeling of food
products under this authority. The
Allergen Labeling of Food Products
Consumer Preference Survey will
collect information to gauge the impact
of certain changes to the food label with
respect to information about allergenic
ingredients. This data collection is
needed to satisfy some of the
requirements of the Food Allergen
Labeling and Consumer Protection Act
(FALCPA) (Public Law 108–282, title II,
section 204.4), including the
requirement that FDA provide data on
consumer preferences in a report to
Congress. In particular, section 204.4 of
the FALCPA asks FDA to describe in the
report ‘‘* * *how consumers with food
allergies or the caretakers of consumers
would prefer that information about the
risk of cross-contact be communicated
on food labels as determined by using
appropriate survey mechanisms.’’ In
addition, the survey will address other
issues pertinent to allergen labeling
changes mandated by the FALCPA. The
data will be collected by means of a
pool of people who will be screened
(through self-report) for food allergy,
and food allergy caregiver status. A
balanced sample of 1,000 will be
selected. Participation in the survey is
voluntary.
FDA estimates the burden of the
Allergen Labeling of Food Products
Consumer Preference Survey collection
of information as follows:
