Download as PDF 36925 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 121 / Thursday, June 23, 2011 / Notices Environmental factors associated with foodborne illness include both food safety practices (e.g., inadequate cleaning practices) and the factors in the environment associated with those practices (e.g., worker and retail food establishment characteristics). To understand these factors, we need to continue to collect data from those who prepare food (i.e., food workers) and on the environments in which the food is prepared (i.e., retail food establishment kitchens). Thus, data collection methods for this generic package include: (1) Worker interviews/surveys, and (2) observation of kitchen environments. Both methods allow data collection on food safety practices and environmental factors associated with those practices. For each data collection, we will collect data in approximately 80 retail conduct a recruiting screener with approximately 2,057 worker respondents to obtain the needed number of respondents. Each respondent will respond only once. Each screener will take approximately 3 minutes. Thus, the maximum annual burden for the recruiting screeners per data collection will be 103 hours (2,057 workers*3 minutes). As we plan to conduct up to 3 data collections annually, the maximum annual burden will be 309 hours (103 hours*3 data collections). Thus, the maximum annual burden will be 2,469 hours (2,160 hours for worker interview/surveys + 309 hours for worker recruiting screener). There is no cost to the respondent other than their time. food establishments per EHS–NET site. Thus, there will be approximately 480 establishments per data collection (6 sites*80 establishments). For each data collection, we will collect interview/ survey data from 1 to 3 workers per establishment. Each respondent will respond only once. Each worker interview/survey will take approximately 30 minutes. Thus, the maximum annual burden for the interview/surveys per data collection will be 720 hours (480 establishments*3 workers*30 minutes). As we plan to conduct up to 3 data collections annually, the maximum annual worker interview/survey burden will be 2,160 hours (720 hours*3 data collections). We expect a worker response rate of approximately 70 percent. Thus, for each data collection, we will need to ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOURS Number of responses per respondent Number of respondents Average burden per response (in hours) Total burden (in hours) Type of respondents Form name Retail food workers ...........................
