Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 222 / Monday, November 17, 2008 / Notices
Notice of annual update of list
of infectious and communicable
diseases that are transmitted through
handling the food supply and the
methods by which such diseases are
transmitted.
ACTION:
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
SUMMARY: Section 103(d) of the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990,
Public Law 101–336, requires the
Secretary to publish a list of infectious
and communicable diseases that are
transmitted through handling the food
supply and to review and update the list
annually. The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) published
a final list on August 16, 1991 (56 FR
40897) and updates on September 8,
1992 (57 FR 40917); January 13, 1994
(59 FR 1949); August 15, 1996 (61 FR
42426); September 22, 1997 (62 FR
49518–9); September 15, 1998 (63 FR
49359), September 21, 1999 (64 FR
51127); September 27, 2000 (65 FR
58088), September 10, 2001 (66 FR
47030), and September 27, 2002 (67 FR
61109). The final list has been reviewed
in light of new information and has
been revised as set forth below.
DATES: Effective Date: November 17,
2008.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr.
Donald Sharp, National Center for
Infectious Diseases, Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), 1600
Clifton Road, NE., Mailstop G–24,
Atlanta, Georgia 30333; Telephone:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
103(d) of the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. 12113
(d), requires the Secretary of Health and
Human Services to:
1. Review all infectious and
communicable diseases which may be
transmitted through handling the food
supply;
2. Publish a list of infectious and
communicable diseases which are
transmitted through handling the food
supply;
3. Publish the methods by which such
diseases are transmitted; and,
4. Widely disseminate such
information regarding the list of
diseases and their modes of
transmissibility to the general public.
Additionally, the list is to be updated
annually.
Since the last publication of the list
on September 26, 2006 (67 FR 61109),
no information has been added.
I. Pathogens Often Transmitted by Food
Contaminated by Infected Persons Who
Handle Food, and Modes of
Transmission of Such Pathogens
The contamination of raw ingredients
from infected food-producing animals

and cross-contamination during
processing are more prevalent causes of
foodborne disease than is contamination
of foods by persons with infectious or
contagious diseases. However, some
pathogens are frequently transmitted by
food contaminated by infected persons.
The presence of any one of the
following signs or symptoms in persons
who handle food may indicate infection
by a pathogen that could be transmitted
to others through handling the food
supply: Diarrhea, vomiting, open skin
sores, boils, fever, dark urine, or
jaundice. The failure of food-handlers to
wash hands (in situations such as after
using the toilet, handling raw meat,
cleaning spills, or carrying garbage, for
example), wear clean gloves, or use
clean utensils is responsible for the
foodborne transmission of these
pathogens. Non-foodborne routes of
transmission, such as from one person
to another, are also major contributors
in the spread of these pathogens.
Pathogens that can cause diseases after
an infected person handles food are the
following:
Noroviruses;
Hepatitis A virus;
Salmonella Typhi *;
Shigella species;
Staphylococcus aureus;
Streptococcus pyogenes.
II. Pathogens Occasionally Transmitted
by Food Contaminated by Infected
Persons Who Handle Food, But Usually
Transmitted by Contamination at the
Source or in Food Processing or by
Non-Foodborne Routes
Other pathogens are occasionally
transmitted by infected persons who
handle food, but usually cause disease
when food is intrinsically contaminated
or cross-contaminated during processing
or preparation. Bacterial pathogens in
this category often require a period of
temperature abuse to permit their
multiplication to an infectious dose
before they will cause disease in
consumers. Preventing food contact by
persons who have an acute diarrheal
illness will decrease the risk of
transmitting the following pathogens:
Campylobacter jejuni;
Cryptosporidium parvum;
Entamoeba histolytica;
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli;
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli;
Giardia lamblia;
Nontyphoidal Salmonella;
Sapoviruses;
Taenia solium;
Vibrio cholerae;
Yersinia enterocolitica.

Salmonella serotypes.

Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal

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.
