Proposed Project: Wellness Program
Study: Assessing the Impact of
Workplace Health and Wellness
Programs—OMB No. 0990–NEW—
Assistant Secretary for Planning
Evaluation (ASPE)
Abstract: The Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation
(ASPE) and the Employee Benefits
Security Administration (EBSA) is
requesting Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval on a new
collection to conduct a survey on
employers to learn about their
experiences and attitudes regarding
workplace wellness programs. ASPE
will use the employers’ experience to
assess the effectiveness and impact of
workplace wellness programs, as well as
identify best practices and lessons
learned in program implementation
with a particular focus on the use of
incentives. As part of the study, a onetime, self-administered survey will be
administered to 3,000 employers
selected from the Dun & Bradstreet
database, a comprehensive listing of
private companies and government
agencies in the U.S. The survey will
assess prevalence and type of wellness
programs as well as the use of employee
incentives. The survey design and
content is informed by a review of the
literature on the characteristics,
prevalence and impact of workplace
wellness programs. Data collection will
also include employee focus groups and
key informant semi-structured
interviews at each of 4 employer sites
that will inform in-depth case studies of
those employers. The focus groups will
consist of 12 employees and will be
conducted to get the end-user
perspective on the impact and
effectiveness of the wellness program.
The key informant interviews will be
carried out with 5 wellness leaders at
each employer, and will gather
information on employer background,
health insurance and wellness programs
offered, and anticipated changes due to
the Affordable Care Act. Data collection
activities will be completed within 18
months of OMB Clearance.

Agency Information Collection
Activities; Submission for Office of
Management and Budget Review;
Comment Request; Recordkeeping
and Records Access Requirements for
Food Facilities
AGENCY:
Food and Drug Administration,
HHS.
ACTION:
Notice.
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 April 27,
2011.
SUMMARY:
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:
202–395–7285, or e-mailed to
oira_submission@omb.eop.gov. All
comments should be identified with the
OMB control number 0910–0560. Also
include the FDA docket number found
in brackets in the heading of this
document.

Denver Presley, Jr., Office of Information
Management, Food and Drug
Administration, 1350 Piccard Dr., PI50–
400B, Rockville, MD 20850, 301–796–
3793.
In
compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA
has submitted the following proposed
collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Recordkeeping and Records Access
Requirements for Food Facilities—21
CFR 1.337, 1.345, and 1.352 (OMB
Control Number 0910–0560)—Extension
The Public Health Security and
Bioterrorism Preparedness and
Response Act of 2002 (the Bioterrorism
Act) added section 414 of the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the
FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 350c), which
requires that persons who manufacture,
process, pack, hold, receive, distribute,
transport, or import food in the United
States establish and maintain records
identifying the immediate previous

sources and immediate subsequent
recipients of food. Sections 1.326
through 1.363 of FDA’s regulations (21
CFR 1.326 through 1.363) set forth the
requirements for recordkeeping and
records access. The requirement to
establish and maintain records improves
FDA’s ability to respond to, and further
contain, threats of serious adverse
health consequences or death to humans
or animals from accidental or deliberate
contamination of food.
Description of Respondents: Persons
that manufacture, process, pack, hold,
receive, distribute, transport, or import
food in the United States are required to
establish and maintain records,
including persons that engage in both
interstate and intrastate commerce.
FDA’s regulations require that records
for non-transporters 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.
In the Federal Register of January 13,
2011 (76 FR 2396), FDA published a 60day notice requesting public comment
on the proposed collection of
information. FDA received one letter
containing multiple comments in
response to the notice.
(Comment 1) One comment was
generally supportive of the necessity of
the information collection and its
practical utility.
(Response) FDA agrees. As discussed
previously in this document, the
requirement to establish and maintain
records improves FDA’s ability to
respond to, and further contain, threats
of serious adverse health consequences
or death to humans or animals from
accidental or deliberate contamination
of food.
(Comment 2) Another comment stated
that accurate recordkeeping is integral
to the effective and timely tracing of
food products through the supply chain
and, to support effective product
tracing, suggested that industry should
determine the Critical Tracking Events
(CTEs) and the Key Data Elements
(KDEs) necessary for product tracing;
FDA should encourage the adoption of
standard ways to express this
