D. Pet Food Processing Standards
The AFSS initiative is intended to
cover the entire spectrum of agency
activities from preapproval of food
additives for use in feed, to establishing
limits for feed contaminants, providing
education and training, and conducting
inspections and taking enforcement
actions for ensuring compliance with
agency regulations. Some basic elements
of an animal feed safety system are
described at: https://www.fda.gov/ohrms/
dockets/98fr/03n–0312–bkg0002.pdf.
Would standards based on a riskbased, preventive, and comprehensive
feed control measures approach, such as
the approach described as an element of
FDA’s AFSS initiative, adequately
address the processing standards
requirement of section 1002(a) of
FDAAA? If so, what aspects of
procurement, processing and
distribution should be included in such
an approach? Should such standards be
developed and applied to all animal
feeds rather than be limited to pet food?

Agency Information Collection
Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Federal Emergency
Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Notice; 30-day notice and
request for comments; Telephone
Survey, OMB 1660–0057, Revision of a
currently approved collection.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) has
submitted the following information
collection to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for review and
clearance in accordance with the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. The submission
describes the nature of the information
collection, the categories of
respondents, the estimated burden (i.e.,
the time, effort and resources used by
respondents to respond) and cost, and
E:\FR\FM\21APN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 77 / Monday, April 21, 2008 / Notices
includes the actual data collection
instruments FEMA will use.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Current
national conditions of increased risk for
man-made and/or accidental chemical
disasters create great demand for the
constant monitoring of preparednessrelated activities. Since the Chemical
Stockpile Emergency Preparedness
Program (CSEPP) is a cooperative effort
among local, State, and Federal
governments working closely with the
public in communities surrounding
fixed hazards, documenting
performance at each of these levels is
vital for program planning and
management in each of the CSEPP sites.
Furthermore, since no preparedness
program can be successful without the
public’s understanding and cooperation,
input from the residents and businesses
of immediate and/or surrounding areas
is vital for program managers to design
custom-tailored strategies to educate
and communicate risks and action plans
at the local level. Failure to collect this
information will hamper the program’s
ability to document strengths and
weaknesses at each site, forcing
managers to rely on intuitive rather than
on factual decision-making, with no
objective basis to quantify program
performance, a requirement of the
Government Performance and Results
Act (GPRA).
Title: Chemical Stockpile Emergency
Preparedness Program (CSEPP)
Evaluation and Customer Satisfaction
Survey.
Type of Information Collection:
Revision of a currently approved
collection.
OMB Number: OMB 1660–0057.
Abstract: The Department of
Homeland Security (DHS)/FEMA’s
CSEPP will collect data from State and
local governments to measure program
effectiveness and establish a
quantitative baseline of customer
satisfaction with program products and
services. Data findings will be used to
set customer service standards while
providing benchmarks for program
monitoring and evaluation. This
information collection also constitutes
an assessment tool that measures public
knowledge of emergency preparedness
and response actions in the event of a
chemical emergency affecting any of the
seven CSEPP sites and surrounding
communities. Data from this collection
will continue to provide a basis for
program planning and management
through the development and/or
modification of performance standards,
the ability to monitor program changes
and trends over time, and the capability
to objectively evaluate outreach
performance against best practices
(benchmarks) in multi-hazard readiness
programs.
Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal
governments.
Number of Respondents: 2,224.
Estimated Time per Respondent: 0.25
hours.
