FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Under section 903(b)(2) of the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C.
393(b)(2)), we are authorized to conduct
research relating to foods and to
conduct educational and public
information programs relating to the
safety of the nation’s food supply. The
Food Safety Survey measures
consumers’ knowledge, attitudes, and
beliefs about food safety. Previous
versions of the survey were collected in
1988, 1993, 1998, 2001, 2006, and 2010.
Data from the previous Food Safety
Surveys and from this proposed survey
will be used to evaluate two Healthy
People 2020 objectives: (1) Increase the
proportion of consumers who follow
key food safety practices (Objective FS–
5) and (2) reduce severe allergic
reactions to food among adults with a
food allergy diagnosis (Objective FS–4)
(Ref. 1). Data from this survey will also
be used to measure progress toward the
United States Department of
Agriculture’s Food Safety Inspection
Service’s Fiscal Year 2011-Fiscal Year
2016 Strategic Plan goal of ensuring
that, ‘‘Consumers, including vulnerable
and underserved populations, adopt
food safety best practices’’ (Ref. 2).
Additionally, Food Safety Survey data
are used to measure trends in consumer
food safety habits including hand and
cutting board washing, cooking
practices, and use of food thermometers.
Finally, data are used to evaluate
PO 00000
Frm 00035
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
educational messages and to inform
policymakers about consumer attitudes
about technologies such as food
irradiation and biotechnology.
The proposed Food Safety Survey will
contain many of the same questions and
topics as previous Food Safety Surveys
to facilitate measuring trends in food
safety knowledge, attitudes, and
behaviors over time. The proposed
survey will also be updated to explore
emerging consumer food safety topics
and expand understanding of previously
asked topics. For example, recent papers
in both the United States (Ref. 3) and
Europe (Refs. 4 and 5) have pointed to
changing epidemiology of listeriosis
where adults over 60 years old have the
highest rates of the illness. One reason
for the increase in listeriosis rates
among those over 60 years old could be
increasing host susceptibility due to
widened use of immunocompromising
medications. We plan to include
questions on the proposed survey to
document the proportion of those over
60 years old who self-report taking a
defined list of major
immunocompromising medications. In
conjunction with our established
questions about safe food handling and
eating potentially risky foods, the
additional questions will expand our
understanding of listeriosis among those
over 60. Other new topics planned to be
covered on the survey include:
Consumer understanding of
mechanically tenderized beef,
awareness of foodborne pathogens such
as Toxoplasma gondii, and awareness of
the risks associated with eating raw
sprouts.
The methods for the proposed Food
Safety Survey will be largely the same
as those used with the previous Food
Safety Surveys. One major difference is
that, unlike the data collection mode for
previous Food Safety Surveys that used
only land telephone lines, the proposed
survey will include cell phones in
addition to landlines. A nationally
representative sample of 4,000 adults
E:\FR\FM\04NON1.SGM
04NON1
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 213 / Tuesday, November 4, 2014 / Notices
(2,400 landline and 1,600 cell phone)
will be selected at random for the
telephone interviews. The survey will
also include an oversample of Hispanics
and Blacks to ensure a minimum of 400
each. Additionally, 50 non-respondents
will be asked to participate in a short
version of the survey from which we
will conduct a non-response analysis.
Participation in the survey will be
voluntary. Cognitive interviews and a
pre-test will be conducted prior to
fielding the survey.
In the Federal Register of November
1, 2013 (78 FR 65661), we published a
60-day notice requesting public
comment on the proposed collection of
information. We received two letters in
response to the notice, each containing
one comment. The comments, and our
responses, are discussed in the
following paragraphs. For ease of
reading, we preface each comment with
a numbered ‘‘Comment’’; and each
response by a corresponding numbered
‘‘Response.’’ We have numbered each
comment to help distinguish between
different topics. The number assigned to
each comment is for organizational
purposes only and does not signify the
comment’s value, or importance, or the
order in which it was received.
(Comment 1) One comment asked if a
sample size of 4,000 was sufficient for
this study, and suggested that FDA work
with the Centers for Disease Control
(CDC) on questions related to
Toxoplasma gondii.
(Response 1) We believe that a sample
size of 4,000 adults is sufficient for this
study since this study evaluates
consumer knowledge, attitudes, and
perceptions related to food safety. It is
not a clinical study looking at the effects
65407
of Toxoplasma gondii in the U.S.
population. We consult with our
Federal partners, including the CDC and
the U.S. Department of Agriculture to
make sure this survey meets their needs.
(Comment 2) One comment suggested
that we add questions to the survey
about preparing offals at home, washing
raw poultry and meat, and cooking
turkeys in the oven overnight.
(Response 2) We agree that these are
interesting additional topics and have
added questions about washing raw
poultry and cooking turkeys to the
survey. Due to space constraints, we are
unable to add questions about preparing
offals at home to the survey
questionnaire. This topic will be
considered for future research.
FDA estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows:

We base our estimate of the number
of respondents and the average burden
per response on our experience with
previous Food Safety Surveys. We will
use a cognitive interview screener with
75 individuals to recruit prospective
interview participants. We estimate that
it will take a screener respondent
approximately 5 minutes (0.083 hours)
to complete the cognitive interview
screener, for a total of 6 hours, rounded
down from 6.225 hours. We will
conduct cognitive interviews with nine
participants. We estimate that it will
take a participant approximately 1 hour
to complete the interview, for a total of
9 hours. Prior to the administration of
the Food Safety Survey, we plan to
conduct a pretest to identify and resolve
potential survey administration
problems. We will use a pretest screener
with 45 individuals; we estimate that it
will take a respondent approximately 1
minute (0.0167 hours) to complete the
pretest screener, for a total of 1 hour,
rounded up from 0.7515 hours. The
pretest will be conducted with 18
participants; we estimate that it will
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:39 Nov 03, 2014
Jkt 235001
take a participant 20 minutes (0.33
hours) to complete the pretest, for a total
of 6 hours, rounded up from 5.94 hours.
We will use a survey screener to select
an eligible adult respondent in each
household reached by landline and cell
phone telephone numbers to participate
in the survey. A total of 10,000
individuals in the 50 states and the
District of Columbia will be screened by
telephone. We estimate that it will take
a respondent 1 minute (0.0167 hours) to
complete the screening, for a total of 167
hours. We estimate that 4,000 eligible
adults will participate in the survey,
each taking 20 minutes (0.33 hours), for
a total of 1,320 hours. Additionally, we
will administer a non-response survey
using a short version of the survey from
which we will conduct a non-response
analysis. We will use a non-response
survey screener with 125 individuals;
we estimate that it will take a
respondent approximately 1 minute
(0.0167 hours) to complete the nonresponse survey screener, for a total of
2 hours, rounded down from 2.0875
hours. The non-response survey will be
PO 00000

conducted with 50 participants; we
estimate that it will take a participant 10
minutes (0.167 hours) to complete the
non-response survey, for a total of 8
hours, rounded down from 8.35 hours.
This is a correction to our previous
estimate of 5 hours to complete the nonresponse survey. Thus, the total
estimated burden is 1,519 hours, which
incorporates the correction of the
estimate to complete the non-response
survey.

The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) is announcing an
opportunity for public comment on the
proposed collection of certain
information by the Agency. Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the
PRA), Federal Agencies are required to
publish notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension of an existing collection of
information, and to allow 60 days for
public comment in response to the
notice. This notice solicits comments on
the reporting requirements associated
with extralabel drug use in animals.
DATES: Submit electronic or written
comments on the collection of
information by January 5, 2015.
SUMMARY:
Submit electronic
comments on the collection of
information to https://
www.regulations.gov. Submit written
comments on the collection of
information to the Division of Dockets
Management (HFA–305), Food and Drug
Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm.

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.
‘‘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 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
ADDRESSES:
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.
Extralabel Drug Use in Animals—21
CFR 530 (OMB Control Number—0910–
0325)—Extension
The Animal Medicinal Drug Use
Clarification Act of 1994 allows a
veterinarian to prescribe the extralabel
use of approved new animal drugs.
Also, it permits FDA, if it finds that
there is a reasonable probability that the
extralabel use of an animal drug may
present a risk to the public health, to
establish a safe level for a residue from
the extralabel use of the drug, and to
require the development of an analytical
method for the detection of residues
above that established safe level.
Although to date we have not
established a safe level for a residue
from the extralabel use of any new
animal drug and, therefore, have not
required the development of analytical
methodology, we believe that there may
be instances when analytical
methodology will be required. We are,
therefore, estimating the reporting
burden based on two methods being
required annually. The requirement to
establish an analytical method may be
fulfilled by any interested person. We
believe that the sponsor of the drug will
be willing to develop the method in
most cases. Alternatively, FDA, the
sponsor, and perhaps a third party may
cooperatively arrange for method
development. The respondents may be
sponsors of new animal drugs, State, or
Federal Agencies, academia, or
individuals.
FDA estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows:

We base our estimate of the number of respondents and the average
burden per response on our experience with previous Food Safety
Surveys. We will use a cognitive interview screener with 75 individuals
to recruit prospective interview participants. We estimate that it will
take a screener respondent approximately 5 minutes (0.083 hours) to
complete the cognitive interview screener, for a total of 6 hours,
rounded down from 6.225 hours. We will conduct cognitive interviews
with nine participants. We estimate that it will take a participant
approximately 1 hour to complete the interview, for a total of 9 hours.
Prior to the administration of the Food Safety Survey, we plan to
conduct a pretest to identify and resolve potential survey
administration problems. We will use a pretest screener with 45
individuals; we estimate that it will take a respondent approximately 1
minute (0.0167 hours) to complete the pretest screener, for a total of
1 hour, rounded up from 0.7515 hours. The pretest will be conducted
with 18 participants; we estimate that it will take a participant 20
minutes (0.33 hours) to complete the pretest, for a total of 6 hours,
rounded up from 5.94 hours. We will use a survey screener to select an
eligible adult respondent in each household reached by landline and
cell phone telephone numbers to participate in the survey. A total of
10,000 individuals in the 50 states and the District of Columbia will
be screened by telephone. We estimate that it will take a respondent 1
minute (0.0167 hours) to complete the screening, for a total of 167
hours. We estimate that 4,000 eligible adults will participate in the
survey, each taking 20 minutes (0.33 hours), for a total of 1,320
hours. Additionally, we will administer a non-response survey using a
short version of the survey from which we will conduct a non-response
analysis. We will use a non-response survey screener with 125
individuals; we estimate that it will take a respondent approximately 1
minute (0.0167 hours) to complete the non-response survey screener, for
a total of 2 hours, rounded down from 2.0875 hours. The non-response
survey will be conducted with 50 participants; we estimate that it will
take a participant 10 minutes (0.167 hours) to complete the non-
response survey, for a total of 8 hours, rounded down from 8.35 hours.
This is a correction to our previous estimate of 5 hours to complete
the non-response survey. Thus, the total estimated burden is 1,519
hours, which incorporates the correction of the estimate to complete
the non-response survey.
