In
compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA
has submitted the following proposed
collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number 0910–0345—
Reinstatement
This information collection supports
the above captioned FDA survey. Under
section 1003(b)(2) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C.
393(b)(2)), FDA is 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.
Accordingly, we are proposing a survey
to measure consumers’ knowledge,
PO 00000
Frm 00082
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
40293
attitudes, beliefs, and reported behavior
about food safety and various topics
related to health, nutrition, and physical
activity. Survey questions covering
hand washing, using food
thermometers, cleaning cutting boards,
and properly storing food support
‘‘Healthy People 2030’’ objectives
relating to consumer food safety and
help evaluate and develop strategies and
programs to encourage consumers to
adopt healthy lifestyles.
Since late 1990, we have deployed
two separate surveys to address these
topics: The ‘‘Food Safety Survey,’’
approved under OMB control no. 0910–
0345; and the ‘‘Health and Diet Survey,’’
approved under OMB control no. 0910–
0545. The surveys have provided data
used in support of Nutritional Facts
labeling and have helped inform the
focus and scope of food safety
educational campaigns. Because there
are many related topic areas included in
the two surveys, we have decided to
combine them. The newly proposed
‘‘FDA Food Safety, Health, and Diet
Survey’’ will contain many of the same
questions and topics as the previous
surveys, measuring trends in food
safety, diet knowledge, attitudes, and
behaviors over time. The survey will
focus on three major themes: Eat, Shop,
and Prepare. These themes and survey
questions were selected to gather
information from consumers that will
help FDA monitor and evaluate its
programs and policies relating to menu
labeling, use of the Nutrition Facts label,
and food safety education activities.
The theme ‘‘Eat’’ will include
questions related to eating at
restaurants, including the frequency of
eating at restaurants, awareness of menu
labeling, and use of restaurant health
inspection scores. It will also include
questions about consumers’ overall
dietary patterns, consumption of
potentially risky foods, and perceptions
of food safety risks. The theme ‘‘Shop’’
will include questions about use of the
Nutrition Facts label, claims made on
the front of food packages, and
perceptions related to organic and
genetically engineered foods. Finally,
the theme ‘‘Prepare’’ will include
questions about food handling practices
related to cleaning hands and surfaces,
separating raw meat from ready-to-eat
foods, using food thermometers,
preparing ready- and non-ready-to-eat
foods, and properly chilling foods.
The survey will be administered using
two sampling and administrative
methodologies: A random-digit-dial
telephone survey of both landline and
cell phones, and an addressed-based,
mail push-to-web survey. Previously, for
both the ‘‘Health and Diet Survey’’ and
E:\FR\FM\14AUN1.SGM
14AUN1
40294
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 157 / Tuesday, August 14, 2018 / Notices
the ‘‘Food Safety Survey,’’ only random
digit dialing sampling techniques and
telephone interviewing were used. By
using both phone and address-based
survey methods we will be able to
explore the effects of survey mode and
sampling frames on question responses
with the goal of potentially transitioning
the survey entirely to an address-based,
mail push-to-web survey. A nationally
representative sample of 2,000 adults
will be selected at random to complete
the telephone survey. The addressedbased survey will seek 4,000
respondents. Additionally, methods will
be employed to see if response bias is
a problem in the survey. As noted
above, participation in the survey will
be voluntary. Cognitive interviews and
a pretest will be conducted prior to
fielding the survey.
In the Federal Register of July 3, 2017
(82 FR 30871), we published a 60-day
notice requesting public comment on
the proposed collection of information
for OMB control no. 0910–0345, ‘‘Food
Safety Survey.’’ Two comments were
received. One discussed the importance
of food safety, and the other comment
was unrelated to the information
collection.
In the Federal Register of July 18,
2017 (82 FR 32832), we published a 60day notice requesting public comment
on the proposed collection of
information for OMB control no. 0910–
0545, ‘‘Health and Diet Survey.’’ No
comments were received. Because we
are proposing to combine the surveys,
we are consolidating the burden under
OMB control no. 0910–0345 and
discontinuing OMB control no. 0910–
0545.
FDA estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows:

We will use a cognitive interview
screener with 75 individuals for each of
the phone and mail surveys to recruit
prospective interview participants for a
total of 150 individuals. We estimate
that it will take a screener respondent
approximately 5 minutes (0.08 hour) to
complete the cognitive interview
screener, for a total of 12 hours for both
surveys. We will conduct cognitive
interviews with 18 participants, 9 for
each survey. We estimate that it will
take a participant approximately 1 hour
to complete the interview, for a total of
18 hours. Prior to the administration of
the surveys, the Agency plans to
conduct a pretest to identify and resolve
potential survey administration
problems.
We will use a pre-test screener with
175 individuals total; we estimate that
it will take a respondent approximately
1 minute (0.0167 hour) to complete the
pre-test screener, for a total of 4 hours.
The pretest will be conducted with 65

total participants (40 phone and 25
mail); we estimate that it will take a
participant 15 minutes (0.25 hour) to
complete the phone pretest and 20
minutes (0.33 hour) for the mail pretest
for a total of 19 hours.
We will use a survey screener to
select an eligible adult respondent in
each household to participate in the
survey. A total of 60,000 individuals in
the 50 states and the District of
Columbia will be screened by telephone
or mail. We estimate that it will take a
respondent 1 minute (0.0167 hour) to
complete the screening, for a total of
1,002 hours for both phone and mail
surveys. We estimate that 2,000 eligible
adults will participant in the phone
survey and 4,000 eligible adults will
participate in the mail survey, the
phone survey taking 15 minutes (0.25
hour) and the mail survey taking 20
minutes (0.33 hour), for a total of 1,820
hours.

We will use a non-response survey
screener to select an eligible adult
respondent in each household to
participate in a non-response survey. A
total of 400 participants in the 50 states

screened by telephone or mail. We
estimate that it will take a respondent 1

We will use a cognitive interview screener with 75 individuals for
each of the phone and mail surveys to recruit prospective interview
participants for a total of 150 individuals. We estimate that it will
take a screener respondent approximately 5 minutes (0.08 hour) to
complete the cognitive interview screener, for a total of 12 hours for
both surveys. We will conduct cognitive interviews with 18
participants, 9 for each survey. We estimate that it will take a
participant approximately 1 hour to complete the interview, for a total
of 18 hours. Prior to the administration of the surveys, the Agency
plans to conduct a pretest to identify and resolve potential survey
administration problems.
We will use a pre-test screener with 175 individuals total; we
estimate that it will take a respondent approximately 1 minute (0.0167
hour) to complete the pre-test screener, for a total of 4 hours. The
pretest will be conducted with 65 total participants (40 phone and 25
mail); we estimate that it will take a participant 15 minutes (0.25

mail pretest for a total of 19 hours.
We will use a survey screener to select an eligible adult

eligible adults will participate in the mail survey, the phone survey
taking 15 minutes (0.25 hour) and the mail survey taking 20 minutes
(0.33 hour), for a total of 1,820 hours.
We will use a non-response survey screener to select an eligible
adult respondent in each household to participate in a non-response
survey. A total of 400 participants in the 50 states and the District
of Columbia will be screened by telephone or mail. We estimate that it
will take a respondent 1 minute (0.0167 hour) to complete the
screening, for a total of 6 hours for both the phone and mail surveys.
We estimate that 200 respondents total, 100 for the phone survey and
100 for the mail survey, will complete the non-response survey taking
10 minutes (0.167 hour) for a total of 32 hours. Thus, the total
estimated burden is 2,913 hours.
