regarding (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy 
of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology should be addressed to: Desk 
Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), OIRA_Submission@OMB.EOP.GOV or 
fax (202) 395-5806 and to Departmental Clearance Office, USDA, OCIO,

    Title: Food Safety Education and Training Materials Sharing Form.
    OMB Control Number: 0518-0046.
    Summary of Collection: The USDA National Agricultural Library (NAL) 
has a Food Safety Education and Training Materials Database. The 
Database is a centralized gateway to access consumer-centric materials 
for educators and others interested in food safety education. The 
collection of information is necessary to (1) Ensure resources are not 
duplicated (i.e., extension agents creating previously available 
education materials), (2) provide a central gateway to access the 
education materials, (3) create a systematic and efficient method of 
collecting data from USDA grantees, and (4) promote awareness of food 
safety education materials available for a variety of audiences. 
Materials that will be collected using the ``Food Safety Education and 
Training Materials Sharing Form'' will help the Food Safety Information 
Center (FSIC) staff identify food safety education and training 
resources for review and inclusion into the Education and Training 
Materials Database much faster and more efficiently. The authority for 
NAL to collect this information is contained in CFR, Title 7, Volume 1, 
Part 2, Subpart K, Sec. 2.65(92).
    Need and Use of the Information: FSIS staff members will use 
information collected by the Sharing Form to build and constantly 
enhance the Food Safety Education and Training Materials Database. Food 
safety educators access and use this database to identify and obtain 
curricula, lesson plans, training tools and participant materials. 
Vital information about these resources, such as a description of the 
resources, its creator, publishing and ordering information can be 
collected in a more standardized and efficient manner using the Sharing 
Form. Failure to collect this information would significantly inhibit 
the ability to provide up-to-date information on existing food safety 
education and training materials that are appropriate for food safety 
educators, consumers and other interested in food safety education.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals or households; Business or 
other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 35.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 11.
