Title: Child Care Biannual Aggregate
Report ACF–800.
OMB No.: 0970–0150.
Description: Section 658K of the Child
Care and Development Block Grant Act
of 1990 (Pub. L. 101–508, 42 U.S.C.
9858) requires that States and
Territories submit annual aggregate data
on the children and families receiving
direct services under the Child Care and
Development Fund. The implementing
regulations for the statutorily required
reporting are at 45 CFR 98.70. Annual
aggregate reports include data elements
represented in the ACF–800 reflecting
the scope, type, and methods of child
care delivery. This provides ACF with
the information necessary to make
reports to Congress, address national
child care needs, offer technical
assistance to grantees, meet performance
measures, and conduct research.
Consistent with the statute and
regulations, ACF requests extension of
the ACF–800. With this extension, ACF
is proposing several changes and
clarifications to the reporting
requirements and instructions.
Respondents: States, the District of
Columbia, and Territories including
Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands,
American Samoa, and the Northern
Marianna Islands.

Voluntary Hazard Analysis and Critical
Control Point Manuals for Operators
and Regulators of Retail and Food
Service Establishments—(OMB Control
Number 0910–0578—Extension)
The Operator’s Manual contains
information and recommendations for
operators of retail and foodservice
establishments who wish to develop
and implement a voluntary food safety
management system based on Hazard
Analysis and Critical Control Point
(HACCP) principles. Operators may
decide to incorporate some or all of the
principles presented in the manual into
their existing food safety management
systems. The recordkeeping practices
discussed in the manual are voluntary
and may include documenting certain
activities, such as monitoring and
verification, which the operator may or
may not deem necessary to ensure food
safety. The manual includes optional
worksheets to assist operators in
developing and validating a voluntary
food safety management system.
The Regulator’s Manual contains
recommendations for State, local, and
tribal regulators on conducting riskbased inspections of retail and
foodservice establishments, including
recommendations about recordkeeping
practices that can assist operators in
preventing foodborne illness. These
recommendations may lead to voluntary
actions by operators based on
consultation with regulators. For
example, an operator may develop a risk
control plan as an intervention strategy
for controlling specific out-of-control
foodborne illness risk factors identified
during an inspection. Further, the
manual contains recommendations to
assist regulators when evaluating
voluntary food safety management
systems in retail and foodservice
establishments. Such evaluations
typically consist of the following two
components: (1) Validation (assessing
whether the establishment’s voluntary
food safety management system is
adequate to control food safety hazards)
and (2) verification (assessing whether
the establishment is following its
voluntary food safety management
system). The manual includes a sample
entitled ‘‘Verification Inspection
Checklist’’ to assist regulators when
conducting verification inspections of
establishments with voluntary food
safety management systems.
Types of operator records discussed
in the manuals and listed in the
PO 00000
Frm 00059
Fmt 4703

following burden estimates include: (1)
Food safety management systems (plans
that delineate the formal procedures to
follow to control all food safety hazards
in an operation); (2) risk control plans
(HACCP-based, goal-oriented plans for
achieving active managerial control over
specific out-of-control foodborne illness
risk factors); (3) hazard analysis (written
assessment of the significant food safety
hazards associated with foods prepared
in the establishment); (4) prerequisite
programs (written policies or
procedures, including but not limited
to, standard operating procedures,
training protocols, and buyer
specifications that address maintenance
of basic operational and sanitation
conditions); (5) monitoring (records
showing the observations or
measurements that are made to help
determine if critical limits are being met
and maintained); (6) corrective action
(records indicating the activities that are
completed whenever a critical limit is
not met); (7) ongoing verification
(records showing the procedures that
are followed to ensure that monitoring
and other functions of the food safety
management system are being
implemented properly); and (8)
validation (records indicating that
scientific and technical information is
collected and evaluated to determine if
the food safety management system,
when properly implemented, effectively
controls the hazards).
All recommendations in both manuals
are voluntary. For simplicity and to
avoid duplicate estimates for operator
recordkeeping practices that are
discussed in both manuals, the burden
for all collection of information
recommendations for retail and
foodservice operators are estimated
together in table 1 of this document,
regardless of the manual in which they
appear. Collection of information
recommendations for regulators in the
Regulator’s Manual are listed separately
in table 2 of this document.
Description of Respondents: The
likely respondents to this collection of
information are operators and regulators
of retail and foodservice establishments.
In the Federal Register of December
19, 2008 (73 FR 77721), FDA published
a 60-day notice requesting public
comment on the information collection
provisions. No comments were received.
FDA estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows:
