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 July 30, 2012. 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 emailed to oira_submission@omb.eop.gov. All comments should be identified with the OMB control number 0910–0342. Also include the FDA docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. ADDRESSES: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Domini Bean, Office of Information Management, Food and Drug Administration, 1350 Piccard Dr., PI50– 400T, Rockville, MD 20850, 301–796– 5733, domini.bean@fda.hhs.gov. 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. Substances Generally Recognized as Safe: Notification Procedure—21 CFR 170.36 and 570.36 (OMB Control Number 0910–0342)—Revision I. Background Section 409 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 348) establishes a premarket approval requirement for ‘‘food additives;’’ section 201(s) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 321) provides an exemption from the definition of ‘‘food additive’’ and thus from the premarket approval requirement, for uses of substances that are GRAS by qualified PO 00000 Frm 00070 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 experts. In the Federal Register of April 17, 1997 (62 FR 18938) (the 1997 proposed rule), FDA published a proposed rule that would establish a voluntary procedure whereby manufacturers would notify FDA about a view that a particular use (or uses) of a substance is not subject to the statutory premarket approval requirements based on a determination that such use is GRAS. The proposed regulations (proposed 21 CFR 170.36 and 21 CFR 570.36) provide a standard format for the voluntary submission of a notice. The notice would include a detailed summary of the data and information that support the GRAS determination, and the notifier would maintain a record of such data and information. FDA would make the information describing the subject of the GRAS notice, and the Agency’s response to the notice, available in a publicly accessible file; the entire GRAS notice would be publicly available consistent with the Freedom of Information Act and other Federal disclosure statutes. In the Federal Register of December 28, 2010 (75 FR 81536) (the GRAS reopener), FDA announced the reopening of the comment period for the 1997 proposed rule. The Agency requested that comments be submitted by March 28, 2011. FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) has recently developed a form that prompts a notifier to include certain elements of a GRAS notice in a standard format. New Form FDA 3667 is entitled ‘‘Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) Notice.’’ The form, and elements that would be prepared as attachments to the form, may be submitted in electronic format via the Electronic Submissions Gateway (ESG), or may be submitted in paper format, or as electronic files on physical media with paper signature page. CFSAN expects that most if not all businesses filing GRAS notices in the next 3 years will choose to take advantage of the option of electronically submitting their GRAS notice. Thus, the burden estimate in Table 1, line 1 is based on the expectation of 100 percent participation in the electronic submission process. FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) continues to comply with the GRAS Pilot Program procedures announced on June 4, 2010 (75 FR 31800). II. GRAS Information on Form FDA 3667 The GRAS notice submitted to CFSAN includes the following information on Form FDA 3667 and in attachments to the form: E:\FR\FM\28JNN1.SGM 28JNN1
