We estimate that a maximum average of 4 manager interviews will be conducted per outbreak. Each interview will take about 20 minutes. The second activity is entering all requested environmental assessment data into NVEAIS. This will be done once for each outbreak. This will take approximately 2 hours per outbreak. Additionally, all food safety program personnel participating in NVEAIS will also have to take training on how to conduct environmental assessments, how to enter data into NVEAIS, and how to conduct the manager interview. We estimate the burden of this training to be a maximum of 12 hours. Respondents will only have to take this training one time. Assuming a maximum number of outbreaks of 1,400, the estimated burden for this training is 16,800. The total estimated annual burden is 21,467 hours (see Table). There is no cost to the respondents other than their time. ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOURS Number of respondents Type of respondent Form name Food safety program personnel ......................

This guidance finalizes the revised draft guidance published on October 30, 2007, which in turn revised the draft guidance for industry, entitled ‘‘Acute Bacterial Sinusitis—Developing Antimicrobial Drugs for Treatment,’’ published in 1998.

In addition, developments in scientific and PO 00000 Frm 00040 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 61417 medical information and technology in the treatment of ABS are reflected in this guidance. This guidance fulfills the requirement set forth in the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 that directed FDA to update the ABS guidance within 5 years.1 This guidance also responds to the requirement set forth in the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act that FDA review guidances for the conduct of clinical trials with respect to antibacterial and antifungal drugs, and revise such guidances as appropriate.2 This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the Agency’s current thinking on developing drugs for the treatment of ABS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The award of nine single source expansion

necessary expansion of the original scope of approved activities. In 
reviewing grantees' aggressive program and evaluation plans, combined 
with recruitment efforts to date, FYSB has determined that that these 
nine grantees

would be required to increase the number of program participants and/or 
sites for program implementation. Increased funding will help the 
grantee programs increase recruitment and retention strategies for 
program participants that will allow grantees to obtain the minimal 
statistical power required to report significant outcome data. Outcome 
data will determine the effectiveness of the implemented pregnancy 
prevention models used in the program. Thus, the increased number of 
program participants supports the evaluation requirements outlined in 
the FOA and the ACA.
    Additionally, grantees are required to report on performance 
measures that were specifically defined by FYSB. The data collection 
will require additional grantee staff time and other resources to 
compile and report on performance indicators. Performance indicators 
are based upon the performance measures established by HHS to include: 
(a) The number of youth served and hours of service delivery; (b) 
fidelity to the program model, or adaptation of the program model for 
the target population; (c) community partnerships and competence in 
working with the target population; (d) reported gains in knowledge and 
intentions, and changes in self-reported behaviors of participants; and 
(e) community data, such as birth rates and the incidence of sexually 
transmitted infections.
    Award amounts for the nine single source expansion supplement 
grants total $758,876 and will support activities from September 30, 
2012 through September 29, 2013.

    Statutory Authority: Section 2953 of the Patient Protection and 
Affordable Care Act of 2010, Pub. L. 111-148, which adds a new
