All comments should be identified with the OMB control number 0910–0658. Also include the FDA docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document.

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. SUMMARY: Recordkeeping Requirements for Microbiological Testing and Corrective Measures for Bottled Water—21 CFR 129.35(a)(3)(i), 129.80(g), and 129.80(h) (OMB Control Number 0910–0658)— Extension The bottled water regulations in parts 129 and 165 (21 CFR parts 129 and 165) require that if any coliform organisms are detected in weekly total coliform testing of finished bottled water, followup testing must be conducted to determine whether any of the coliform organisms are Escherichia coli. The adulteration provision of the bottled PO 00000 Frm 00013 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 water standard (§ 165.110(d)) provides that a finished product that tests positive for E. coli will be deemed adulterated under section 402(a)(3) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 342(a)(3)). In addition, the current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) regulations for bottled water in part 129 require that source water from other than a public water system (PWS) be tested at least weekly for total coliform. If any coliform organisms are detected in the source water, the bottled water manufacturers are required to determine whether any of the coliform organisms are E. coli. Source water found to contain E. coli is not considered water of a safe, sanitary quality and would be unsuitable for bottled water production. Before a bottler may use source water from a source that has tested positive for E. coli, a bottler must take appropriate measures to rectify or otherwise eliminate the cause of the contamination. A source previously found to contain E. coli will be considered negative for E. coli after five samples collected over a 24-hour period from the same sampling site are tested and found to be E. coli negative. Description of Respondents: The respondents to this information collection are domestic and foreign bottled water manufacturers that sell bottled water in the United States. In the Federal Register of January 18, 2013 (78 FR 4152), FDA published a 60day notice requesting public comment on the proposed extension of this collection of information. FDA received two letters in response to the notice, which contained multiple comments. One comment suggested that laboratory quality assurance practices should be required for the testing of bottled water. FDA’s CGMP regulations for bottled water in 21 CFR 129 do not specifically require laboratory quality assurance practices, and FDA does not have the specific statutory authority to require bottlers to use certified laboratories for water quality tests.1 However, the CGMP regulations for source water testing do require that ‘‘[t]est and sample methods shall be those recognized and approved by the government agency or agencies having jurisdiction over the approval of the water source, and shall be consistent with the minimum [standard of quality] requirements set forth in § 165.110(b) of this chapter’’ (§ 129.35(a)(3)(ii)). The CGMP regulations also state that 1 U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    The ``Open Government Citizen Engagement'' is a response to the 
Open Government Directive, which was issued on December 8, 2009 by the 
Director of OMB. This directive asked that executive departments and 
agencies take specific actions to implement the principles of 
transparency, participation and collaboration, as set forth in the 
President's January 21, 2009 Memorandum on Transparency and Open 
Government. GSA is creating an Open Government Citizen Engagement tool, 
an online collaboration tool powered by IdeaScale, as one example of 
methods for agencies to use in extensively engaging the public. The 
Open Government Citizen Engagement will allow the public to weigh in on 
their support for agency and public ideas, comments, suggestions, data 
sets, and the like, and allow agencies to engage with the public via 
Ratings, Rankings and Flaggings. The goal is to allow the public to 
rate and rank open-ended, general questions, comments and suggestions. 
Tools that allow rating, ranking and flagging (for example, many blogs, 
ideation, challenge grant platforms, and other social media tools) can 
be used across government. This information collection request for an 
emergency clearance is being submitted in order to fulfill the public
