SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.

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

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

Draft Animal Feed Regulatory Program
Standards—(OMB Control Number
0910-New)
I. Background
In the United States, Federal and State
government Agencies ensure the safety
of animal feed. FDA is responsible for
ensuring that all foods and feeds moving
in interstate commerce, except those
under the U.S. Department of
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:42 Jul 09, 2013
Jkt 229001
Agriculture jurisdiction, are safe,
wholesome, and labeled properly. States
are responsible for conducting
inspections and regulatory activities
that help ensure food and feed
produced, processed, and distributed
within their jurisdictions are safe and in
compliance with State laws and
regulations. States primarily perform
inspections under their own regulatory
authority. Some States conduct
inspections of feed facilities under
contract with FDA. Because
jurisdictions may overlap, FDA and
States collaborate and share resources to
protect animal feed.
The FDA Food Safety Modernization
Act passed on January 4, 2011, calls for
enhanced partnerships and provides a
legal mandate for developing an
Integrated Food Safety System (IFSS).
FDA is committed to implementing an
IFSS, thereby optimizing coordination
of food and feed safety efforts with
Federal, State, local, tribal, and
territorial regulatory and public health
agencies. Model standards provide a
consistent, underlying foundation that
is critical for uniformity across State
and Federal Agencies to ensure
credibility of food and feed programs
within the IFSS.
At this time, model regulatory
program standards exist for human food,
but do not exist for animal feed. The
draft feed standards are a major step in
a long-term process of collaboration to
achieve uniformity and consistency in
feed safety across the nation while
acknowledging State responsibilities
and authorities.
II. Significance of Feed Program
Standards
The AFRPS provide a uniform and
consistent approach to feed regulation
in the United States. Implementation of
the feed program standards would be
voluntary. States implementing the
standards will identify and maintain
program improvements that will
strengthen the safety and integrity of the
U.S. animal feed supply.
Description: These draft feed
standards are the framework that each
State should use to design, manage, and
improve its feed program. Eleven
standards describing regulatory
foundation, training, inspection
program, auditing, feed-related illness
or death and emergency response,
enforcement program, outreach
activities, budget and planning,
laboratory services, sampling program,
and assessment and improvement of
PO 00000

standard implementation are the basis
for the draft feed standards.
Each standard has a purpose
statement, requirement summary,
description of program elements,
projected outcomes, and a list of
required documentation. When a State
program voluntarily agrees to
implement the draft feed standards, it
must fully implement and maintain the
individual program elements and
documentation requirements in each
standard in order to fully implement the
standard. The State program must fully
implement the 11 standards to achieve
full implementation of the AFRPS.
These program standards are not
intended to address the performance
appraisal processes that a State agency
may use to evaluate individual
employee performance.
The standards have forms,
worksheets, and templates to help the
State program assess and meet the
program elements in the standard. State
programs are not obligated to use the
forms, worksheets, and templates
provided with the draft feed standards.
Other manual or automated forms,
worksheets, and templates may be used
as long as the pertinent data elements
are present. Records and other
documents specified in the standards
must be maintained in good order by the
State program and must be available to
verify the implementation of each
standard.
In the first year of implementation,
the State program uses the selfassessment worksheets to determine if
the requirements for each standard are
fully met, partially met, or not met. The
self assessments are used to develop an
improvement plan for fully
implementing the requirements of the
11 standards.
Although FDA plans to provide
financial support to State programs that
implement the feed standards, funding
opportunities are contingent upon the
availability of funds. Funding
opportunities may be only available to
State feed regulatory programs that
currently have an FDA feed inspection
contract. State programs receiving
financial support to implement the feed
standards will be audited by FDA.

Persons with access to the Internet
may submit email requests for a single

estimate includes time for reviewing the
standards, gathering and maintaining
the data and documents for each
standard, and completing and reviewing
the data and documents that would be
spent to fully implement the 11
standards. FDA recognizes that full use
and implementation of the feed
standards by State feed programs will
occur over many years and the number
of years to fully implement the feed
standards will vary among States. This
burden was determined by averaging the
burden estimates received from five
respondents. The five respondents are
representative of the State feed
programs in the United States.

(OMB Control Number 0910–0302)—
Extension
Under section 361 of the Public
Health Services (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C.
264), FDA issued regulations under part
1270 (21 CFR part 1270) to prevent the
transmission of human
immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B,
and hepatitis C, through the use of
human tissue for transplantation. The
regulations provide for inspection by
FDA of persons and tissue
establishments engaged in the recovery,
screening, testing, processing, storage,
or distribution of human tissue. These
facilities are required to meet provisions
intended to ensure appropriate
screening and testing of human tissue
donors and to ensure that records are
kept documenting that the appropriate
screening and testing have been
completed.
Sections 1270.31(a) through (d)
require written procedures to be
prepared and followed for the following
steps: (1) All significant steps in the
infectious disease testing process under
§ 1270.21; (2) all significant steps for
obtaining, reviewing, and assessing the
relevant medical records of the donor as
prescribed in § 1270.21; (3) designating
and identifying quarantined tissue; and
(4) for prevention of infectious disease
contamination or cross-contamination
by tissue during processing. Sections
1270.31(a) and (b) also requires
recording and justification of any
deviation from the written procedures.
Section 1270.33(a) requires records to be
maintained concurrently with the
performance of each significant step
required in the performance of
infectious disease screening and testing
of human tissue donors. Section
1270.33(f) requires records to be
retained regarding the determination of
the suitability of the donors and of the
records required under § 1270.21.
