Subsequent to the publication of this notice, two additional grantees reported $8,688,313 of funds for reallotment.

State Petitions for Exemption From Preemption--21 CFR 100.1(d) (OMB 
Control No. 0910-0277)--Extension

    Under section 403A(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 
(the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 343-1(b)), states may petition FDA for 
exemption from Federal preemption of state food labeling and standard 
of identity requirements. Section 100.1(d) (21 CFR 100.1(d)) sets forth 
the information a state is required to submit in such a petition. The 
information required under Sec.  100.1(d) enables FDA to determine 
whether the state food labeling or standard of identity requirement 
satisfies the criteria of section 403A(b) of the FD&C Act for granting 
exemption from Federal preemption.
    We estimate the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

    The reporting burden for Sec.  100.1(d) is minimal because 
petitions for exemption from preemption are seldom submitted by states.

from preemption; therefore, we estimate that one or fewer petitions 
will be submitted annually.
