Download as PDF 42075 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 139 / Thursday, July 21, 2005 / Notices TABLE 2.—ESTIMATED ANNUAL RECORDKEEPING BURDEN FOR REGULATORS1 No. of Recordkeepers Types of Records Voluntary Food Safety Management System Evaluation (includes validation, verification, and completion of verification inspection checklist) Annual Frequency per Recordkeeping 50,000 Total Annual Records 1 Hours per Recordkeeper 50,000 Total Hours 16 800,000 Total Annual Burden for Regulators 1There 800,000 are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. It is difficult to predict the number of State, local, and tribal regulatory jurisdictions that will use the Regulator’s Manual. But FDA anticipates that retail and foodservice establishments which voluntarily develop and implement a food safety management system based on the Operator’s Manual will request their regulatory authorities to conduct an evaluation of their system. The estimates in table 2 of this document for the annual burden to State, local, and tribal regulators that follow the recommendations in the Regulator’s Manual were calculated based on the usual time needed for one person to evaluate a voluntarily-implemented food safety management system and record the findings. The number of times an inspector may be asked by an operator to evaluate a voluntarilyimplemented system is not expected to exceed once per year. III. Comments Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES) written or electronic comments on the draft manuals and their recommendations for collection of information. Submit a single copy of electronic comments or two paper copies of any mailed comments, except that individuals may submit one paper copy. Comments are to be identified with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. The draft manuals and received comments may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. IV. Electronic Access An electronic version of these draft manuals is available on the Internet at https://www.fda.gov/. Dated: July 13, 2005. Jeffrey Shuren, Assistant Commissioner for Policy. [FR Doc. 05–14321 Filed 7–20–05; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4160–01–S DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES National Institutes of Health Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; The Effectiveness of the NIH Curriculum Supplements and Workshops Survey SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Office of the Director, Office of Science Policy, Office of Science Education, National Institutes of Health has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review and approval of the information collection listed below. This proposed information collection has not been previously published in the Federal Register. The purpose of this notice is to allow 30 days for public comment. The National Institutes of Health may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection that has been extended, revised, or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB number. Proposed Collection: Title: The Effectiveness of the NIH Curriculum Supplements and Workshops Survey. Information Collection Request: NEW. New and Use of Information Collection: The survey will attempt to assess the effectiveness of the NIH curriculum supplements in aiding teachers to teach science in a more engaging and interactive way. The supplements help k–12 educators teach science in more engaging and effective ways by featuring the latest NIH research. A typical supplement contains two weeks of student activities on the science behind a health topic, such as cancer, sleep or obesity. Web-based simulations, animations and experiments enhance the ‘‘pencil and paper’’ activities. In addition to developing and distributing the supplements, OSE conducts professional workshops to help teachers successfully implement these lessons with their students. Since January 2000, over 3,000 teachers have attended an OSE workshop. Assessing the effectiveness of the NIH Curriculum Supplements and teacher workshops is critical to determining if OSE is successfully fulfilling its mission. OSE has the database infrastructure in place to easily collect customer satisfaction data from supplement requests and workshops attendees. At present, we do not have clearance to contact our customers to determine how NIH resources are meeting their educational needs.
