FDA’s regulations require that records for nontransporters include the name and full contact information of sources, recipients, and transporters, an adequate description of the food, including the quantity and packaging, and the receipt and shipping dates (§§ 1.337 and 1.345). Required records for transporters include the names of consignor and consignee, points of origin and destination, date of shipment, number of packages, description of freight, route of movement and name of each carrier participating in the transportation, and transfer points through which shipment moved (§ 1.352). Existing records may be used if they contain all of the required information and are retained for the required time period.

    Under section 903 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 
U.S.C. 393), FDA is authorized to conduct research and public 
information programs about regulated products and responsibilities of 
the agency. Executive Order 12862, entitled, ``Setting Customer Service 
Standard,'' directs Federal agencies that ``provide significant 
services directly to the public'' to ``survey customers to determine 
the kind and quality of services they want and their level of 
satisfaction with existing services.'' FDA is seeking OMB clearance to 
conduct a series of surveys to implement Executive Order 12862. 
Participation in the surveys is voluntary. This request covers 
customer/partner service surveys of regulated entities, such as food 
processors; cosmetic drug, biologic and medical device manufacturers; 
consumers; and health professionals. The request also covers 
``partner'' (State and local governments) customer service surveys.
    FDA will use the information from these surveys to identify
