FDA bases this hour burden estimate on its experience with the application of HACCP principles in food processing. The burden estimates in table 1 of this document are based on an estimate of the total number of juice manufacturing plants (i.e., 2,300) affected by the regulations. Included in this total are 850 plants currently identified in FDA’s official establishment inventory plus 1,220 very small apple juice manufacturers and 230 very small orange juice manufacturers. The total burden hours are derived by estimating the number of plants affected by each portion of this final rule and multiplying the corresponding number by the number of records required annually and the hours needed to complete the record. These numbers were obtained from the agency’s final regulatory impact analysis prepared for these regulations. Moreover, these estimates assume that every processor will prepare sanitary standard operating procedures and a HACCP plan and maintain the associated monitoring records and that every importer will require product safety specifications. In fact, there are likely to be some small number of juice processors that, based upon their hazard analysis, determine that they are not required to have a HACCP plan under these regulations.

With this submission, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), Office of Science Policy, Analysis and Communication (OSPAC), seeks to obtain OMB’s generic approval to conduct customer satisfaction surveys surrounding its research programs and activities. The NICHD was founded in 1963. Its mission is to ensure, through research, the birth of healthy infants and the opportunity for each to reach full potential in adulthood, unimpaired by physical or mental disabilities. The NICHD conducts and supports research on the many factors that protect and enhance the processes of human growth and development. The developmental focus of the NICHD means that its research portfolio is unusually broad. NICHD programs include research on infant mortality, birth defects, learning disorders, developmental disabilities, vaccine development, and demographic and behavioral sciences, among others. In addition to supporting laboratory research, clinical trials, and epidemiological studies that explore health processes, the NICHD disseminates information that emanates from its research programs to its customers, or those who are partners with the Institute. This includes scientists, practitioners, other health professionals, and the public. Survey information will augment the NICHD’s on-going efforts to assess their research funding mechanisms, activities, and programs, as well as the information products that are used to disseminate research findings.
