Title: Application Requirements for
the Low Income Home Energy
Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
Residential Energy Assistance Challenge
Program (REACH) Model Plan.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: States, including the
District of Columbia, Tribes, Tribal
organizations and Territories applying
for LIHEAP REACH funds must submit
an annual application prior to receiving
Federal funds. The Human Services
Amendments of 1994 (Pub. L. 103–252)
amended the LIHEAP statute to add
Section 2607B, which established the
REACH Program. REACH was funded
for the first time in FY 1996 and is
intended to: (1) Minimize health and
safety risks that result from high energy
burdens on low-income Americans; (2)
reduce home energy vulnerability and
prevent homelessness as a result of the
inability to pay energy bills; (3) increase
the efficiency of energy usage by lowincome families, helping them achieve
energy self-sufficiency; and (4) target
energy assistance to individuals who are
most in need.
The REACH Model Plan clarifies the
information being requested and
ensures the submission of all the
information required by statute. The
form facilitates our response to
numerous queries each year concerning
the information that should be included
in the REACH application. Submission
of a REACH application and use of the
REACH Model Plan is voluntary.
Grantees have the option to use another
format.
Respondents: State Governments,
Tribal governments, Insular Areas, the
District of Columbia, and the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

AGENCY:

ACTION:
Notice.
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
voluntary customer satisfaction service
surveys to implement Executive Order
12862.
DATES: Submit written or electronic
comments on the collection of
information by March 24, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Submit electronic
comments on the collection of
information to: https://www.fda.gov/
dockets/ecomments or https://
www.regulations.gov. Submit written
comments on the collection of
information to the Division of Dockets
Management (HFA–305), Food and Drug
Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm.
1061, Rockville, MD 20852. All
comments should be identified with the
docket number found in brackets in the
heading of this document.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Jonna Capezzuto, Office of the Chief
Information Officer (HFA–250), Food
and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers
Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301–827–
4659.
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
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.
Customer/Partner Service Surveys
(OMB Control Number 0910–0360)—
Extension
Under section 903 of the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C.
393), FDA is authorized to conduct
research and public information
programs about regulated products and
responsibilities of the agency. Executive
Order 12862, entitled ‘‘Setting Customer
Service Standard,’’ directs Federal
agencies that ‘‘provide significant
services directly to the public’’ to
‘‘survey customers to determine the
kind and quality of services they want
and their level of satisfaction with
existing services.’’ FDA is seeking OMB
clearance to conduct a series of surveys
to implement Executive Order 12862.
Participation in the surveys is
voluntary. This request covers
customer/partner service surveys of
regulated entities, such as food
processors; cosmetic drug, biologic and
medical device manufacturers;
consumers; and health professionals.
The request also covers ‘‘partner’’ (State
and local governments) customer
service surveys.
FDA will use the information from
these surveys to identify strengths and
weaknesses in service to customers/
partners and to make improvements.
The surveys will measure timeliness,
appropriateness and accuracy of
information, courtesy, and problem
resolution in the context of individual
programs.
FDA estimates conducting 15
customer/partner service surveys per
year, each requiring an average of 18
minutes for review and completion. We
estimate respondents to these surveys to
be between 50 and 6,000 customers.
Some of these surveys will be repeats of
earlier surveys for purposes of
monitoring customer/partner service
and developing long-term data.
FDA estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows:
