HHS delegates authority to CDC to conduct quarantine control measures. Currently, with the exception of rodent inspections and the cruise ship sanitation program, inspections are performed only on those vessels and aircraft which report illness prior to arrival or when illness is discovered upon arrival. Other inspection agencies assist quarantine officers in public health screening of persons, pets, and other importations of public health significance and make referrals to the Public Health Service when indicated.

Background and Brief Description Heart disease and stroke are among the most widespread and costly causes of death and disability in the U.S., but are also among the most preventable health problems. In 2006, CDC created the Division of Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention (DHDSP) to provide national leadership for efforts to reduce the burden of disease, disability, and death from heart disease and stroke. Many heart disease and stroke prevention and control activities are conducted through DHDSP-funded heart disease and stroke prevention programs.

For example, the DHDSP provides training to States on how to implement and evaluate their programs and provides guidance on how to best apply evidence-based practices. In addition the DHDSP translates its scientific studies into informational products, such as on-line reports and trend data. Over the next three years, DHDSP plans to conduct a series of information collections based on a reference set of questions that address relevance, quality and impact of DHDSP services and guidance. A generic clearance is requested in order to provide flexibility in the content and timing of specific information collections. Surveys tailored to specific public health partners, services, or other programmatic initiatives will be developed from the reference set of preapproved questions. A small number of demographic and descriptive questions may be included in specific surveys to assess the extent to which perceptions and use of DHDSP services vary across types of respondents. Whenever feasible, information will be collected electronically to reduce burden on respondents. In addition, information may be collected through in-person or telephone interviews or focus groups when Web-based surveys are E:\FR\FM\21MYN1.SGM 21MYN1 23865 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 97 / Thursday, May 21, 2009 / Notices impractical or when in-depth responses are required.

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing that a proposed collection of information has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. DATES: Fax written comments on the collection of information by June 22, 2009. ADDRESSES: To ensure that comments on the information collection are received, OMB recommends that written comments be faxed to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, OMB, Attn: FDA Desk Officer, FAX: 202–395–6974, or e-mailed to oira_submission@omb.eop.gov. All comments should be identified with the OMB control number 0910–0186. Also VerDate Nov<24>2008 13:08 May 20, 2009 Jkt 217001 include the FDA docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jonna Capezzuto, Office of Information Management (HFA–710), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301–796–3794. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance. Irradiation in the Production, Processing, and Handling of Food— (OMB Control Number 0910–0186)— Extension Under sections 201(s) and 409 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 321(s) and 348), food irradiation is subject to regulation under the food additive premarket approval provisions of the act. The regulations providing for uses of irradiation in the production, processing, and handling of food are found in part 179 (21 CFR part 179). To ensure safe use of a radiation source, § 179.21(b)(1) requires that the label of sources bear appropriate and accurate information identifying the source of radiation and the maximum (or minimum and maximum) energy of radiation emitted by x-ray tube sources. Section 179.21(b)(2) requires that the label or accompanying labeling bear adequate directions for installation and use and a statement supplied by FDA that indicates maximum dose of radiation allowed. Section 179.26(c) requires that the label or accompanying labeling bear a logo and a radiation disclosure statement. Section 179.25(e) requires that food processors who treat food with radiation make and retain, for PO 00000 Frm 00028 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 250 30 32 180 90 48 60 30 16 Average burden per response (in hours) 30/60 1 1 30/60 1 1 30/60 1 1 1 year past the expected shelf life of the products up to a maximum of 3 years, specified records relating to the irradiation process (e.g., the food treated, lot identification, scheduled process, etc.). The records required by § 179.25(e) are used by FDA inspectors to assess compliance with the regulation that establishes limits within which radiation may be safely used to treat food. The agency cannot ensure safe use without a method to assess compliance with the dose limits, and there are no practicable methods for analyzing most foods to determine whether they have been treated with ionizing radiation and are within the limitations set forth in part 179. Records inspection is the only way to determine whether firms are complying with the regulations for treatment of foods with ionizing radiation. In this request for extension of OMB approval, FDA proposes to include and consolidate into the subject collection of information (OMB control number 0910–0186) the collection of information and associated burden hours from OMB control number 0910– 0549. This inclusion is reflected in the estimated burden reported in table 1 of this document, which has increased by the addition of one recordkeeper in the large processors line, increasing the number of estimated recordkeepers from two to three. Description of Respondents: Respondents are businesses engaged in the irradiation of food. In the Federal Register of February 13, 2009 (74 FR 7236), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the information collection provisions. No comments were received.

Proposed Project

Improving the Quality and Delivery of CDC's Heart Disease and
Stroke Prevention Programs--New--Division for Heart Disease and Stroke
Prevention (DHDSP), National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).

Background and Brief Description

Heart disease and stroke are among the most widespread and costly
causes of death and disability in the U.S., but are also among the most
preventable health problems. In 2006, CDC created the Division of Heart
Disease and Stroke Prevention (DHDSP) to provide national leadership
for efforts to reduce the burden of disease, disability, and death from
heart disease and stroke.
Many heart disease and stroke prevention and control activities are
conducted through DHDSP-funded heart disease and stroke prevention
programs. The DHDSP's key partners include State and local health
departments, public health organizations, community organizations,
nonprofit organizations, and professional organizations. The DHDSP
supports partners by conducting trainings, providing scientific
guidance and technical assistance, and producing scientific information
and supporting tools. For example, the DHDSP provides training to
States on how to implement and evaluate their programs and provides
guidance on how to best apply evidence-based practices. In addition the
DHDSP translates its scientific studies into informational products,
such as on-line reports and trend data.
Over the next three years, DHDSP plans to conduct a series of
information collections based on a reference set of questions that
address relevance, quality and impact of DHDSP services and guidance. A
generic clearance is requested in order to provide flexibility in the
content and timing of specific information collections. Surveys
tailored to specific public health partners, services, or other
programmatic initiatives will be developed from the reference set of
pre-approved questions. A small number of demographic and descriptive
questions may be included in specific surveys to assess the extent to
which perceptions and use of DHDSP services vary across types of
respondents. Whenever feasible, information will be collected
electronically to reduce burden on respondents. In addition,
information may be collected through in-person or telephone interviews

they are deemed to be useful by those audiences, and whether DHDSP
efforts improve public health practices. Finally, the generic clearance
format will allow the DHDSP to identify new programmatic opportunities
and to respond to partners' concerns.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are 491.
