Draft screenshots of Form FDA 3955 and instructions are available for comment at https://www.fda.gov/ Food/DietarySupplements/IndustryInfo/ ucm485532.htm. Description of Respondents: Respondents to this collection of information include manufacturers, packers, or distributors of dietary supplements that bear section 403(r)(6) of the FD&C Act statements on their labels or labeling. In the Federal Register of March 11, 2016 (81 FR 12910), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. FDA received one comment in support of the information collection. We estimate the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN 1 Number of respondents 21 CFR section 101.93 ...................................................................... 1 There Dated: May 9, 2016.

Total hours 1,650 are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. We believe that there will be minimal burden on the industry to generate information to meet the notification requirements of section 403(r)(6) of the FD&C Act by submitting information regarding section 403(r)(6) of the FD&C Act statements on labels or in labeling of dietary supplements. We also believe that submission via FURLS will not affect the burden estimates. We are requesting only information that is immediately available to the manufacturer, packer, or distributor of the dietary supplement that bears such a statement on its label or in its labeling. We estimate that, each year, approximately 2,200 firms will submit the information required by section 403(r)(6) of the FD&C Act. This estimate is based on the average number of notification submissions received by us in the preceding 3 years. We estimate that a firm will require 0.75 hours to gather the information needed and prepare a communication to us, for a total of 1,650 hours (2,200 × 0.75).
