Download as PDF 27492 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 114 / Thursday, June 15, 2017 / Notices 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 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. State Petitions for Exemption From Preemption—21 CFR 100.1(d) OMB Control Number 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 § 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. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN 1 21 CFR 100.1(d) Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent Total annual responses Average burden per response Total hours Form of petition .................................................................... 1 1 1 40 40 1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. The reporting burden for § 100.1(d) is minimal because petitions for exemption from preemption are seldom submitted by States. In the last 3 years, we have received one new petition for exemption from preemption; therefore, we estimate that one or fewer petitions will be submitted annually. Dated: June 12, 2017. Anna K. Abram, Deputy Commissioner for Policy, Planning, Legislation, and Analysis.

review and clearance.

Data To Support Social and Behavioral Research as Used by the Food and 
Drug Administration--OMB Control Number 0910--NEW

    Understanding patients, consumers, and health care professionals' 
perceptions and behaviors plays an important role in improving FDA's 
regulatory decisionmaking processes and communications impacting 
various stakeholders. The methods to be employed to achieve these goals 
include individual indepth interviews, general public focus group 
interviews, intercept interviews, self-administered surveys, gatekeeper 
surveys, and focus group interviews. The methods to be used serve the 
narrowly defined need for direct and informal opinion on a specific 
topic and as a qualitative and quantitative research tool, and have two 
major purposes:
    (1) To obtain information that is useful for developing variables 
and measures for formulating the basic objectives of social and 
behavioral research; and
    (2) To assess the potential effectiveness of FDA communications, 
behavioral interventions, and other materials in reaching and 
successfully communicating and addressing behavioral change with their 
intended audiences.
    FDA will use these methods to test and refine its ideas and to help 
develop communication and behavioral strategies research, but will 
generally conduct further research before making important decisions 
such as adopting new policies and allocating or redirecting significant 
resources to support these policies.
    FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Center for Biologics 
Evaluation and Research, Office of the Commissioner, and potentially 
other Agency components will use this mechanism to test communications 
and social and behavioral methods about regulated drug products on a 
variety of subjects related to consumer, patient, or health care 
professional perceptions, beliefs, attitudes, behaviors, and use of

drug and biological products and related materials, including, but not 
limited to, social and behavioral research, decisionmaking processes, 
and communication and behavioral change strategies.
    Annually, FDA estimates about 45 social and behavioral studies 
using the variety of test methods listed in this document. FDA is 
requesting this burden so as not to restrict the Agency's ability to 
gather information on public sentiment for its proposals in its 
regulatory and communications programs.
    In the Federal Register of September 19, 2016 (81 FR 64166), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
extension of this collection of information. No comments were received 
in response to the notice.
