Food and Drug Administration
[Docket No. FDA–2011–N–0529]
Burden of Food and Drug
Administration Food Safety
Modernization Act Fee Amounts on
Small Business; Extension of
Comment Period
AGENCY:
Food and Drug Administration,
HHS.
ACTION:
Notice; extension of comment
period.
The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) is extending the
comment period to November 30, 2011,
for the notice entitled, ‘‘Burden of Food
and Drug Administration Food Safety
Modernization Act Fee Amounts on
Small Business; Request for Comments’’
that appeared in the Federal Register of
August 1, 2011 (76 FR 45818). In that
document, FDA announced the
establishment of a docket to obtain
information that would be used to
formulate a proposed set of guidelines
in consideration of the burden of fee
amounts on small business, as set forth
in the FDA Food Safety Modernization
Act (FSMA). In particular, the Agency
requested public comments on whether
a reduction of fees or other
consideration for small business was
appropriate, and if so, what factors the
Agency should consider for each. In
addition, the Agency requested public
comment on how small business should
be defined or recognized. The Agency is
taking this action in response to
requests for an extension to allow
interested persons additional time to
submit comments.
DATES: Submit either electronic or
written or comments by November 30,
2011.
ADDRESSES: Submit electronic
comments to https://
www.regulations.gov. Submit written
comments to the Division of Dockets
Management (HFA–305), Food and Drug
Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm.
1061, Rockville, MD 20852.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Alexis Nazario-Negron, Office of
Financial Management, Food and Drug
Administration, 1350 Piccard Dr., Rm.

SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
notice with a 78-day comment period to
request comments on the burden of
FSMA fee amounts on small business.
FSMA provides the Agency with
authority under section 743 of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(FD&C Act) to assess and collect fees,
including those for costs associated with
certain domestic and foreign facility
reinspections, failure to comply with a
recall order, and importer reinspections.
The Agency is seeking public comment
on what burdens these fees might
impose on small business, and whether
and how the Agency should alleviate
such burdens. In particular, the Agency
is seeking public comments on whether
a reduction of fees or other
consideration for small business is
appropriate, and if so, what factors the
Agency should consider for each. In
addition, the Agency is seeking public
comment on how small business should
be defined or recognized. The Agency
has received a request for an extension
of the comment period. The request
conveyed concern that the current 78day comment period does not allow
sufficient time to develop a meaningful
or thoughtful response to the notice.
FDA has considered the request and
is extending the comment period for the
notice until November 30, 2011. The
Agency believes that this extension
allows adequate time for interested
persons to submit comments without
significantly delaying the development
of a proposed set of guidelines in
consideration of the burden of the fee
amounts on small business, as required
by section 743(b)(2)(B)(iii) of the FD&C
Act.
II. Request for Comments
Interested persons may submit to the
Division of Dockets Management (see
ADDRESSES) either electronic or written
comments on this document. It is only
necessary to send one set of comments.
It is no longer necessary to send two
copies of mailed comments. Identify
comments with the docket number
found in brackets in the heading of this
document. Received comments may be
seen in the Division of Dockets
Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.,
Monday through Friday.
Dated: October 12, 2011.
