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
the information collection requirements
establishing restrictions on the import,
capture, transport, sale, barter,
exchange, distribution, and release of
African rodents, prairie dogs, and
certain other animals.
DATES: Submit written or electronic
comments on the collection of
information by May 14, 2007.

comments on the collection of
information to the Division of Dockets
Management (HFA–305), Food and Drug

Information Officer (HFA–250), Food

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
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.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Control of Communicable Diseases;
African Rodents and Other Animals
That May Carry the Monkeypox
Virus—21 CFR 1240.63 (OMB Control
Number 0910–0519)—Extension
Under 21 CFR 1240.63(a)(2)(ii), an
individual must submit a written
PO 00000
Frm 00049
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
request to seek permission to capture,
offer to capture, transport, offer to
transport, sell, barter, or exchange, offer
to sell, barter, or exchange, distribute,
offer to distribute, and/or release into
the environment any of the following
animals:
• Prairie dogs (Cynomys sp.),
• African Tree squirrels (Heliosciurus
sp.),
• Rope squirrels (Funisciurus sp.),
• African Dormice (Graphiurus sp.),
• Gambian giant pouched rats
(Cricetomys sp.),
• Brush-tailed porcupines (Atherurus
sp.),
• Striped mice (Hybomys sp.), or
• Any other animal so prohibited by
order of the Commissioner of Food and
Drugs (the Commissioner) because of
that animal’s potential to transmit the
monkeypox virus.
The request cannot seek written
permission to sell, barter, or exchange,
or offer to sell, barter, or exchange, as
a pet, the animals listed previously or
any animal covered by an order by the
Commissioner.
The request must state the reasons
why an exemption is needed, describe
the animals involved, and explain why
an exemption will not result in the
spread of monkeypox within the United
States.
Our estimates are based on our
current experience with the interim
final rule. To estimate the number of
respondents, we examined the number
of requests we have received in fiscal
year 2006. There were 122 requests,
submitted by 65 individuals, in that
time, and this figure represents a minor
increase over the previous estimate of
120 annual responses. (See 69 FR 7752
(February 19, 2004).) As we cannot
determine whether the latest data
indicates a trend towards more requests
or is an anomaly, we have elected to
increase our estimate to 122 requests.
We also have revised the estimated
number of respondents to 65 (compared
to 120 in our previous estimate) and, as
a result, adjusted the annual frequency
per response to 1.88 (which represents
122 responses/65 respondents; the
actual result is 1.8769, which we have
rounded up to 1.88).
Furthermore, consistent with our
earlier Paperwork Reduction Act
submission, we will estimate that each
respondent will need 4 hours to
complete its request for an exemption.
Therefore, the total reporting burden
under 21 CFR 1240.63(a)(2)(ii)(A) and
(B) will be 488 hours (122 responses x
4 hours per response = 488 hours).
FDA estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows:
