SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES I. Background FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance entitled ‘‘Guidance for Industry: Measures to Address the Risk for Contamination by Salmonella Species in Food Containing a PeanutDerived Product as an Ingredient.’’ This guidance is intended to clarify for manufacturers who produce foods containing a peanut-derived product as an ingredient that there is a risk that Salmonella species (spp.) may be present in the incoming peanut-derived product, and to recommend measures to address that risk. Peanut-derived products include peanuts, peanut butter, peanut paste, peanut meal, and peanut granules. In the recent past, products made from peanuts have been associated with two large, multi-state Salmonella outbreaks. The first of these, an outbreak of Salmonella Tennessee in 2007 linked to peanut butter, resulted in more than 600 illnesses in 47 states (Ref. 1). More recently, peanut butter and peanut paste have been confirmed as the source of a large multi-state outbreak caused by Salmonella Typhimurium (Ref. 2). Peanut-derived products that have been recalled have been used as ingredients in other products such as cookies, crackers, cereal, candy, and ice cream. This had led to additional recalls. FDA is issuing this guidance as a level 1 guidance consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation § 10.115 (21 CFR 10.115). Consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation, the agency will accept comment, but is implementing the guidance document immediately in accordance with § 10.115(g)(2) because the agency has determined that prior public VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:01 Mar 10, 2009 Jkt 217001 participation is not feasible or appropriate in light of the need to respond expeditiously to the current circumstances. The guidance represents the agency’s current thinking on measures to address the risk for contamination by Salmonella spp. in foods containing a peanut-derived product as an ingredient. It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternate approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. II. Comments Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES) written or electronic comments regarding this document. Submit a single copy of electronic comments or two paper copies of any mailed comments, except that individuals may submit one paper copy. Comments are to be identified with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. Received comments may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. III. Electronic Access Persons with access to the Internet may obtain the guidance at https:// www.cfsan.fda.gov/guidance.html. IV.

Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

    Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration 
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under 
review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in compliance with 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request 
a copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, e-mail 
paperwork@hrsa.gov or call the HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301)

    The following request has been submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995:

Proposed Project: Patient Navigator Outreach and Chronic Disease 
Prevention Demonstration Program Patient Data Collection Form--[New]

    The purpose of the Patient Navigator Outreach and Chronic Disease 
Prevention (PN) Demonstration Program is to promote model ``patient 
navigator'' programs to improve health care outcomes for individuals 
with cancer and/or other chronic diseases, with a specific emphasis on 
health disparity populations. This program aims to coordinate 
comprehensive health services for patients in need of chronic disease 
care and management through enhanced chronic disease management 
provided by patient navigators.
    In order to describe successful PN program models and make 
recommendations on the ability of such programs to improve patient 
outcomes, data is needed at the individual patient, patient navigator, 
and PN program levels. This information includes:
    [dec222] Sociodemographics of patients (e.g., insurance status, 
income, education level, gender, age, race and ethnicity, primary 
language, number of family dependents) served;
    [dec222] Patient access barriers to standard chronic disease care 
(e.g., access to pharmaceuticals, distance of patient's home from 
health care facilities utilized, primary mode of transportation to 
health care facilities utilized, cultural and linguistic barriers as 
well as literacy levels);
    [dec222] Health care service utilization (e.g., screening rates, 
compliance rate for appointments and follow-up exams,

[[Page 10600]]

time interval between diagnosis or referral and resolution date);
    [dec222] Patient health status (e.g., type and stage of diagnosis, 
chronic disease status, final outcome or result); and
    [dec222] Patient navigation data (e.g., type of navigator, patient 
navigation training plans and outcomes, point at which patient 
navigator was brought into the process, number of patients referred, 
how patient barriers were resolved, patient satisfaction, follow-up 
outcomes--such as number of uninsured who get health coverage).

This information will be collected from patients or their designated 
caregiver, patient navigators, and PN program administrators. 
Maintaining confidentiality of patient medical information is a concern 
and thus all personal information will be de-identified to protect the 
confidentiality of all patients. Data collection and disclosure 
processes will abide by Health Insurance Portability and Accountability 
Act (HIPPA) Privacy Rule provisions and procedures.
    The annual estimate of burden is as follows:
