Proposed rule; extension of comment period for information collection provisions. ACTION: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or ‘‘we’’) is extending the comment period for the information collection related to the proposed rule on ‘‘Current Good Manufacturing Practice and Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Human Food’’ that appeared in the Federal Register of January 16, 2013. In the preamble to the proposed rule, FDA requested comments on the information collection provisions that are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. We are taking this action in response to requests for an extension to allow interested persons additional time to submit comments on the information collection provisions associated with the rule. DATES: The comment period for the proposed rule published January 16, 2013 (78 FR 3646), is extended. Submit either electronic or written comments by May 16, 2013.

Comments on the provisions of the rule and on the information collection provisions will inform FDA’s rulemaking to modernize the regulation for ‘‘Current Good Manufacturing Practice In Manufacturing, Packing, or Holding Human Food’’ and to add requirements for domestic and foreign facilities that are required to register under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to establish and implement hazard analysis and riskbased preventive controls for human food. OMB and FDA have received two requests for a 90-day extension of the comment period for the information collection provisions of the proposed rule. The requests conveyed concern that the current 30-day comment period does not allow sufficient time to develop a meaningful or thoughtful response to the information collection provisions submitted to OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. We have considered the requests and are extending the comment period for the information collection for 90 days, until May 16, 2013. We believe that a 90-day extension allows adequate time for interested persons to submit comments without significantly delaying rulemaking on these important issues. A 90-day extension also will make the comment period for the information collection provisions the PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 11611 same as the comment period for the provisions of the proposed rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    In the Federal Register of January 16, 2013 (78 FR 3504), FDA 
published a proposed rule entitled ``Standards for the Growing, 
Harvesting, Packing, and Holding of Produce for Human Consumption'' 
with a 120-day comment period on the provisions of the proposed rule 
and a 30-day comment period on the information collection provisions 
that are subject to review by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). Comments on the provisions of the rule and 
on the information collection provisions will inform FDA's rulemaking 
to establish science-based minimum standards for the safe growing, 
harvesting, packing, and holding of produce for human consumption to 
minimize the risk of serious adverse health consequences or death from 
consumption of contaminated produce.
    We have received a request for a 90-day extension of the comment 
period for the information collection provisions of the proposed rule. 
The request conveyed concern that the current 30-day comment period 
does not allow sufficient time to provide meaningful input on the 
information collection provisions submitted to OMB under the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995.
    We have considered the request and are extending the comment period 
for the information collection for 90 days, until May 16, 2013. We 
believe that a 90-day extension allows adequate time for interested 
persons to submit comments without significantly delaying rulemaking on 
these important issues. A 90-day extension also will make the comment 
period for the information collection provisions the same as the 
comment period for the provisions of the proposed rule.

II. Request for Comments

    Interested persons may either submit electronic comments regarding 
the information collection to oira_submission@omb.eop.gov or fax 
written comments to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
OMB, Attn: FDA Desk Officer, FAX: 202-395-7285. All comments should be 
identified with the title ``Standards for the Growing, Harvesting, 
Packing, and Holding of Produce for Human Consumption.''
