SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Food and Drug Administration Generic Clearance for Quantitative Testing for the Development of FDA Communications OMB Control Number 0910—NEW This notice announces the FDA information collection request from OMB for a generic clearance that will allow FDA to use quantitative social/ behavioral science data collection techniques (i.e., surveys and experimental studies) to test consumers’ reactions to FDA communications or educational messaging about FDAregulated food and cosmetic products, dietary supplements, and animal food and feed. To ensure that communications activities and educational campaigns have the highest potential to be received, understood, and accepted by those for whom they are intended, it is important to assess communications while they are under development. Understanding consumers’ attitudes, motivations, and behaviors in response to potential communications and education messaging plays an important role in improving FDA’s communications. If the following conditions are not met, FDA will submit an information collection request to OMB for approval through the normal PRA process: • The collections are voluntary; • The collections are low burden for participants (based on considerations of total burden hours, total number of participants, or burden hours per participant) and are low cost for both the participants and the Federal Government; • The collections are noncontroversial; • Personally identifiable information (PII) is collected only to the extent necessary 1 and is not retained; • Information gathered will not be used for the purpose of substantially informing influential policy decisions; 2 and • Information gathered will yield qualitative findings; the collections will not be designed or expected to yield statistical data or used as though the results are generalizable to the population of study. To obtain approval for a collection that meets the conditions of this generic clearance, an abbreviated supporting statement will be submitted to OMB along with supporting documentation (e.g., a copy of the survey or experimental design and stimuli for testing). FDA will submit individual quantitative collections under this generic clearance to OMB. Individual quantitative collections will also undergo review by FDA’s Research Involving Human Subjects Committee, senior leadership in the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, and PRA specialists. Respondents to this collection of information may include a wide range of consumers and other FDA stakeholders such as producers and manufacturers who are regulated under FDA-regulated food and cosmetic products, dietary supplements, and animal food and feed. In the Federal Register of September 4, 2018 (83 FR 44888), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. FDA received no comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has 
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for 
review and clearance.
Generic Clearance for Quantitative Testing for the Development of FDA 
Communications
OMB Control Number 0910--NEW
    This notice announces the FDA information collection request from 
OMB for a generic clearance that will allow FDA to use quantitative 
social/behavioral science data collection techniques (i.e., surveys and 
experimental studies) to test consumers' reactions to FDA 
communications or educational messaging about FDA-regulated food and 
cosmetic products, dietary supplements, and animal food and feed. To 
ensure that communications activities and educational campaigns have 
the highest potential to be received, understood, and accepted by those 
for whom they are intended, it is important to assess communications 
while they are under development. Understanding consumers' attitudes, 
motivations, and behaviors in response to potential communications and 
education messaging plays an important role in improving FDA's 
communications.
    If the following conditions are not met, FDA will submit an 
information collection request to OMB for approval through the normal 
PRA process:
     The collections are voluntary;
     The collections are low burden for participants (based on 
considerations of total burden hours, total number of participants, or 
burden hours per participant) and are low cost for both the 
participants and the Federal Government;
     The collections are noncontroversial;
     Personally identifiable information (PII) is collected 
only to the extent necessary \1\ and is not retained;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ For example, collections that collect PII to provide 
remuneration for participants of focus groups and cognitive 
laboratory studies will be submitted under this request. All Privacy 
Act requirements will be met.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Information gathered will not be used for the purpose of 
substantially informing influential policy decisions; \2\ and
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ As defined in OMB and agency Information Quality Guidelines, 
``influential'' means that ``an agency can reasonably determine that 
dissemination of the information will have or does have a clear and 
substantial impact on important public policies or important private 
sector decisions.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Information gathered will yield qualitative findings; the 
collections will not be designed or expected to yield statistical data 
or used as though the results are generalizable to the population of 
study.
    To obtain approval for a collection that meets the conditions of 
this generic clearance, an abbreviated supporting statement will be 
submitted to OMB along with supporting documentation (e.g., a copy of 
the survey or experimental design and stimuli for testing).
    FDA will submit individual quantitative collections under this 
generic clearance to OMB. Individual quantitative collections will also 
undergo review by FDA's Research Involving Human Subjects Committee, 
senior leadership in the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, 
and PRA specialists.
    Respondents to this collection of information may include a wide 
range of consumers and other FDA stakeholders such as producers and 
manufacturers who are regulated under FDA-regulated food and cosmetic 
products, dietary supplements, and animal food and feed.
    In the Federal Register of September 4, 2018 (83 FR 44888), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. FDA received no comments.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
