Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. ‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information set forth in this document. With respect to the following collection of information, FDA invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA’s functions, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Substances Prohibited From Use in Animal Food or Feed; Animal Proteins Prohibited in Ruminant Feed-21 CFR 589.2000(e)(1)(iv)—(OMB Control Number 0910–0339)—Extension This information collection was established because epidemiological evidence gathered in the United Kingdom suggested that bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), a progressively degenerative central nervous system disease, is spread to ruminant animals by feeding protein derived from ruminants infected with BSE. This regulation places general requirements on persons that manufacture, blend, process, and distribute products that contain or may contain protein derived from mammalian tissue, and feeds made from such products. Specifically, this regulation requires renderers, feed manufacturers, and others involved in feed and feed ingredient manufacturing and distribution to maintain written procedures specifying the cleanout procedures or other means, and specifying the procedures for separating products that contain or may contain protein derived from mammalian tissue from all other protein products from the time of receipt until the time of shipment. These written procedures are intended to help the firm formalize their processes, and then to help inspection personnel confirm that the firm is operating in compliance with the regulation. Inspection personnel will evaluate the written procedure, and confirm it is being followed when they are conducting an inspection. These written procedures must be maintained as long as the facility is operating in a manner that necessitates the record, and if the facility makes changes to an applicable procedure or process the record must be updated. Written procedures required by this section shall be made available for inspection and copying by the Food and Drug Administration.

Substances Prohibited From Use in Animal Food or Feed; Animal Proteins 
Prohibited in Ruminant Feed-21 CFR 589.2000(e)(1)(iv)--(OMB Control 
Number 0910-0339)--Extension

    This information collection was established because epidemiological 
evidence gathered in the United Kingdom suggested that bovine 
spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), a progressively degenerative central 
nervous system disease, is spread to ruminant animals by feeding 
protein derived from ruminants infected with BSE. This regulation 
places general requirements on persons that manufacture, blend, 
process, and distribute products that contain or may contain protein 
derived from mammalian tissue, and feeds made from such products.
    Specifically, this regulation requires renderers, feed 
manufacturers, and others involved in feed and feed ingredient 
manufacturing and distribution to maintain written procedures 
specifying the cleanout procedures or other means, and specifying the 
procedures for separating products that contain or may contain protein 
derived from mammalian tissue from all other protein products from the 
time of receipt until the time of shipment. These written procedures 
are intended to help the firm formalize their processes, and then to 
help inspection personnel confirm that the firm is operating in 
compliance with the regulation. Inspection personnel will evaluate the 
written procedure, and confirm it is being followed when they are 
conducting an inspection.
    These written procedures must be maintained as long as the facility 
is operating in a manner that necessitates the record, and if the 
facility makes changes to an applicable procedure or process the record 
must be updated. Written procedures required by this section shall be 
made available for inspection and copying by the Food and Drug 
Administration.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:
