OMB No.: 0970–0198. Description: The Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Tribal Plan serves as the agreement between the applicant (Indian Tribes, Tribal consortia and Tribal organizations) and the Federal government that describes how Tribal applicants will operate CCDF Block Grant programs. The Tribal Plan provides assurances that the CCDF funds will be administered in conformance with legislative requirements, Federal regulations at 45 CFR parts 98 and 99 and other applicable instructions or guidelines issued by the Administration for Children and Families ACF). Tribes must submit a new CCDF Tribal Plan every two years in accordance with 45 CFR 98.17. Respondents: Tribal CCDF programs (259 total).

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. Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) Procedures for the Safe and Sanitary Processing and Importing of Juice—(OMB Control Number 0910– 0466)—Extension FDA’s regulations in part 120 (21 CFR part 120) mandate the application of HACCP procedures to fruit and vegetable juice processing. HACCP is a preventative system of hazard control that can be used by all food processors to ensure the safety of their products to consumers. A HACCP system of preventive controls is the most effective and efficient way to ensure that these food products are safe. FDA’s mandate to ensure the safety of the Nation’s food supply is derived principally from the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 321, et seq.). Under the FD&C Act, FDA has authority to ensure that all foods in interstate commerce, or that have been shipped in interstate commerce, are not contaminated or otherwise adulterated, are produced and held under sanitary conditions, and are not misbranded or deceptively packaged; under section 701 (21 U.S.C. 371), the FD&C Act authorizes the Agency to issue regulations for its efficient enforcement. The Agency also has authority under section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 264) to issue and enforce regulations to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of E:\FR\FM\23SEN1.SGM 23SEN1 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 184 / Thursday, September 23, 2010 / Notices communicable diseases from one State to another State. Information development and recordkeeping are essential parts of any HACCP system. The information collection requirements are narrowly tailored to focus on the development of appropriate controls and document those aspects of processing that are critical to food safety. Through these regulations, FDA is implementing its authority under section 402(a)(4) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 342(a)(4)). In the Federal Register of July 14, 2010 (75 FR 40839), FDA published a 57963 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. No comments were received. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1.—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN1 21 CFR Section No of Recordkeepers Annual Frequency per Recordkeeping Total Annual Records Hours Per Record Total Hours 120.6(c) and 120.12(a)(1) and (b) 1,875 120.7; 120.10(a); and 120.12(a)(2), (b), and (c) 2,300 120.8(b)(7) and 120.12(a)(4)(i) and (b) 1,450 14,600 21,170,000 120.10(c) and 120.12(a)(4)(ii) and (b) 1,840 12 22,080 0.1 2,208 120.11(a)(1)(iv) and (a)(2) and 120.12(a)(5) 1,840 52 95,680 0.1 9,568 120.11(b) and 120.12(a)(5) and (b) 1,840 1 1,840 4 7,360 120.11(c) and 120.12(a)(5) and (b) 1,840 1 1,840 4 7,360 308 1 308 4 1,232 120.14(a)(2), (c), and (d) 365 684,375 1.1 0.1 2,530 20 0.01 Total srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES 1 There 68,437.5 50,600 211,700 358,466 are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. Table 1 of this document provides a breakdown of the total estimated annual recordkeeping burden. FDA bases this hour burden estimate on its experience with the application of HACCP principles in food processing. The burden estimates in table 1 of this document are based on an estimate of the total number of juice manufacturing plants (i.e., 2,300) affected by the regulations. Included in this total are 850 plants currently identified in FDA’s official establishment inventory plus 1,220 very small apple juice manufacturers and 230 very small orange juice manufacturers. The total burden hours are derived by estimating the number of plants affected by each portion of the final rule and multiplying the corresponding number by the number of records required annually and the hours needed to complete the record. These numbers were obtained from the Agency’s final regulatory impact analysis prepared for these regulations. Moreover, these estimates assume that every processor will prepare sanitary standard operating procedures and a HACCP plan and maintain the associated monitoring records and that VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:52 Sep 22, 2010 Jkt 220001 every importer will require product safety specifications. In fact, there are likely to be some small number of juice processors that, based upon their hazard analysis, determine that they are not required to have a HACCP plan under the regulations.

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) Procedures for the 
Safe and Sanitary Processing and Importing of Juice--(OMB Control 
Number 0910-0466)--Extension

    FDA's regulations in part 120 (21 CFR part 120) mandate the 
application of HACCP procedures to fruit and vegetable juice 
processing. HACCP is a preventative system of hazard control that can

to consumers. A HACCP system of preventive controls is the most 
effective and efficient way to ensure that these food products are 
safe. FDA's mandate to ensure the safety of the Nation's food supply is

communicable diseases from one State to another State. Information 
development and recordkeeping are essential parts of any HACCP system. 
The information collection requirements are narrowly tailored to focus 
on the development of appropriate controls and document those aspects 
of processing that are critical to food safety. Through these 
regulations, FDA is implementing its authority under section 402(a)(4) 
of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 342(a)(4)).

    Table 1 of this document provides a breakdown of the total 
estimated annual recordkeeping burden. FDA bases this hour burden 
estimate on its experience with the application of HACCP principles in 
food processing.
    The burden estimates in table 1 of this document are based on an 
estimate of the total number of juice manufacturing plants (i.e., 
2,300) affected by the regulations. Included in this total are 850 
plants currently identified in FDA's official establishment inventory 
plus 1,220 very small apple juice manufacturers and 230 very small 
orange juice manufacturers. The total burden hours are derived by 
estimating the number of plants affected by each portion of the final 
rule and multiplying the corresponding number by the number of records 
required annually and the hours needed to complete the record. These 
numbers were obtained from the Agency's final regulatory impact 
analysis prepared for these regulations.
    Moreover, these estimates assume that every processor will prepare 
sanitary standard operating procedures and a HACCP plan and maintain 
the associated monitoring records and that every importer will require 
product safety specifications. In fact, there are likely to be some 
small number of juice processors that, based upon their hazard 
analysis, determine that they are not required to have a HACCP plan 
under the regulations.
