Burden hours per response Total burden hours establish Healthy Housing Surveillance Systems at the state and national levels. Currently, 40 state and local Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Programs (CLPPP) report information (e.g., presence of lead paint, age of housing, and type of housing) to the NBLSS. The addition of a new panel of housing questions would help to provide a more comprehensive picture of housing stock in the United States and potentially modifiable risk factors. The objectives for developing this system are two-fold. First, the program would like to use surveillance data to estimate the extent of housing-related injuries and asthma. This is important because it will allow the program to systematically track the management and follow-up of those residents with these health outcomes. The next objective for the development of this system is to examine potential housing-related risk factors. Childhood lead poisoning is just one of many adverse health conditions that are related to common housing deficiencies. Multiple hazards in housing, e.g., mold, vermin, radon and the lack of safety devices, continue to adversely affect the health of residents. It is in the interest of public health to expand from a single focus on lead poisoning prevention to a coordinated, comprehensive, and systematic approach to eliminating multiple housing-related health hazards. The current NBLSS system requires reporting of child blood lead levels and the new HLPSS will continue this effort. There is no cost to respondents other than their time. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled ‘‘Guidance for Industry: Measures to Address the Risk for Contamination by Salmonella Species in Food Containing a PistachioDerived Product as an Ingredient’’ (draft guidance). The draft guidance, when finalized, is intended to clarify for manufacturers who produce foods containing a pistachio-derived product as an ingredient that there is a risk that Salmonella species may be present in the incoming pistachio-derived product, and to recommend measures to address that risk. DATES: Although you can comment on any guidance at any time (see 21 CFR 10.115(g)(5)), to ensure that the agency considers your comment on this draft guidance before it begins work on the final version of the guidance, submit written or electronic comments concerning the draft guidance by August 28, 2009. ADDRESSES: Submit written requests for single copies of the draft guidance to the Office of Food Safety, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (HFS– 317), Food and Drug Administration, 5100 Paint Branch Pkwy., College Park, MD 20740. Send two self-addressed adhesive labels to assist that office in processing your requests.

Kashtock, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (HFS– 317), Food and Drug Administration, 5100 Paint Branch Pkwy., College Park, MD 20740, 301–436–2022. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled ‘‘Guidance for Industry: Measures to Address the Risk for Contamination by Salmonella Species in Food Containing a Pistachio-Derived Product as an Ingredient.’’ This draft guidance is intended to clarify for manufacturers who produce foods containing a pistachio-derived product as an ingredient that there is a risk that Salmonella species (spp.) may be present in the incoming pistachioderived product, and to recommend measures to address that risk. Pistachioderived products include roasted inshell pistachios and shelled pistachios (also called kernels) that are roasted or raw. We are issuing this guidance in light of a recent investigation by FDA and the California Department of Public Health of Salmonella spp. contamination in pistachio-derived products (Ref. 1). The producer issued a voluntary recall involving a substantial quantity of its products. Because the recalled pistachio-derived products were used as ingredients in a variety of foods, this recall affected many products and resulted in additional recalls (Ref. 1). FDA is issuing this draft guidance as level 1 guidance consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance represents the agency’s current thinking on measures to address the risk for contamination by Salmonella spp. in food containing a pistachio-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.

Proposed Project

    Healthy Housing Lead Poisoning Surveillance System (HHLPSS)--New--
National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH) and Agency for Toxic 
Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR)/Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The Healthy Housing Lead Poisoning Surveillance System (HHLPSS) 
builds upon previous efforts by the National Blood Lead Surveillance 
System (NBLSS) to characterize the home environment in terms of not 
only lead poisoning risk factors, but also other home-based risk 
factors. While the earlier NBLSS was focused on homes of children less 
than 6 years old, the new HHLPSS will enable flexibility to evaluate 
all homes, regardless of the presence of children < age 6 years. The 
overarching goal of this system is to establish Healthy Housing 
Surveillance Systems at the state and national levels. Currently, 40 
state and local Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Programs (CLPPP) 
report information (e.g., presence of lead paint, age of housing, and 
type of housing) to the NBLSS. The addition of a new panel of housing 
questions would help to provide a more comprehensive picture of housing 
stock in the United States and potentially modifiable risk factors.
    The objectives for developing this system are two-fold. First, the 
program would like to use surveillance data to estimate the extent of 
housing-related injuries and asthma. This is important because it will 
allow the program to systematically track the management and follow-up 
of those residents with these health outcomes.
    The next objective for the development of this system is to examine 
potential housing-related risk factors. Childhood lead poisoning is 
just one of many adverse health conditions that are related to common 
housing deficiencies. Multiple hazards in housing, e.g., mold, vermin, 
radon and the lack of safety devices, continue to adversely affect the 
health of residents. It is in the interest of public health to expand 
from a single focus on lead poisoning prevention to a coordinated, 
comprehensive, and systematic approach to eliminating multiple housing-
related health hazards. The current NBLSS system requires reporting of 
child blood lead levels and the new HLPSS will continue this effort.
    There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
