SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Children’s Bureau, Administration for
Children and Families of the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services. The Capacity Building
Collaborative includes three centers
(Center for States, Center for Tribes,

Center for Courts) funded by the
Children’s Bureau to provide national
child welfare expertise and evidenceinformed training and technical
assistance services to state, tribal and
territorial public child welfare agencies
and Court Improvement Programs
(CIPs). The Centers offer a wide array of
services including, but not limited to:
Web-based content and resources,
product development and
dissemination, self-directed and groupbased training, virtual learning and peer
networking events, and tailored
consultation and coaching. During the
project period, Center services are
evaluated by both Center-specific
evaluations and a Cross-Center
Evaluation. The Center-specific
evaluations are designed to collect data
on Center-specific processes and
outcomes, which are used to support
service delivery and continuous quality
improvement. The Cross-Center
Evaluation is designed to respond to a
set of cross-cutting evaluation questions
posed by the Children’s Bureau. The
Cross-Center Evaluation examines: How
and to what extent key partners across
and within Centers collaborate; whether
Center capacity building service
interventions are evaluable; the degree
to which Centers follow common
protocols; what service interventions are
delivered and in what services do
jurisdictions participate; how satisfied
recipients are with services; what
outcomes are achieved in jurisdictions
receiving Center services and under
what conditions are services effective;
and what are the costs of services.
The Cross-Center Evaluation uses a
longitudinal, mixed methods approach
to evaluate Center services as they
develop and mature over the course of
the study. Multiple data collection
strategies are used to efficiently capture
quantitative and qualitative data to
enable analyses that address each
evaluation question. Cross-Center
Evaluation data sources for this effort
include (1) satisfaction surveys to assess
recipient satisfaction with services, such
as the Learning Experiences Satisfaction
Survey; (2) a leadership interview used
to assess perceptions of state child
welfare directors, tribal child welfare
directors, and CIP directors; and (3) a
web-based collaboration survey used to
assess perceptions of collaboration
within and between the capacity
building centers. Center-specific data
sources for this effort include (1)
assessment tools such as the Center for
Tribes Needs and Fit Exploration Tools;
and (2) service-specific feedback forms,
such as the Center for States Intensive
Projects instrument and the Center for
Courts CQI Workshops instrument.
Respondents: Respondents of data
collection instruments include (1) child
welfare and judicial professionals who
use the Collaborative’s products and
online courses, that participate in
webinars, virtual or in-person trainings,
or peer events, and that receive brief or
intensive tailored services from the
Centers; (2) all State child welfare
directors, and Tribal child welfare
directors, and CIP coordinators that
receive services from the Centers; and
(3) directors and staff of the three
Capacity Building Centers.

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.
SUMMARY:
Interstate Shellfish Dealer’s Certificate
OMB Control Number 0910–0021—
Revision
Under section 243 of the Public
Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 243) FDA
is required to cooperate with and aid
State and local authorities in the
enforcement of their health regulations,
and is authorized to assist States in the
prevention and suppression of
communicable diseases. Under this
authority, we participate with State
regulatory agencies, some foreign
nations, and the molluscan shellfish
industry in the National Shellfish
Sanitation Program (NSSP). NSSP is a
voluntary, cooperative program to
promote the safety of molluscan
shellfish by providing for the
classification and patrol of shellfish
growing waters and for the inspection
and certification of shellfish processors.
Each NSSP-participating State and
foreign nation monitors its molluscan
shellfish processors and for purposes of
interstate or international commerce
issues certificates for those that meet the
State or foreign shellfish control
authority’s criteria. Each participating
State and nation provides a certificate of
its certified shellfish processors to FDA
on Form FDA 3038, ‘‘Interstate Shellfish
Dealer’s Certificate.’’ We use this
information to publish the ‘‘Interstate
Certified Shellfish Shippers List,’’ a
monthly comprehensive listing of all
molluscan shellfish processors certified
under the cooperative program. If we
did not collect the information
necessary to compile this list,
participating States would not be able to
identify and keep out shellfish
processed by uncertified processors in
other States and foreign nations.
Consequently, NSSP would not be able
to control the distribution of uncertified
and possibly unsafe shellfish in
interstate and international commerce,
and its effectiveness would be nullified.
In the Federal Register of March 9,
2018 (83 FR 10487), we published a
notice seeking comment on a proposed
determination that the European
Union’s (EU’s) system of food safety
control measures for raw bivalve
molluscan shellfish intended for export
into the United States, as adopted and
implemented in Spain and the
Netherlands, provides at least the same
level of sanitary protection as the
United States equivalent. If finalized,
such a determination would permit the
importation of shellfish harvested from
certain European production areas and
processed by European establishments
that have been listed by FDA on the
Interstate Certified Shellfish Shippers
List.
The March 9, 2018, notice also
described the European Commission’s
(EC’s) determination that the United
States’ system is equivalent to its own,
and as a result of that determination, its
stated intent to accept shellfish from
certain growing areas in the United
States. On November 6, 2018, the EC
published Commission Implementing
Decision (EU) 2018/1668 which added
the United States (MA and WA only) to
the list of Third Countries from which
molluscan shellfish imports are
permitted. Shellfish harvested from
growing areas with an Approved
classification in those states are eligible
for export to the EU.
As part of the equivalence
determination, the EC identified the
need for FDA to provide documentation
collected from NSSP-participating
shellfish control authorities seeking
recognition under the EC’s equivalence
determination. This documentation
includes:
• A list of growing areas with an
Approved classification,
• The most recent sanitary survey for
each growing area with an Approved
classification, and
• The most recent inspection report
for each firm seeking to export shellfish
to the EU.
For NSSP-Participants that do not
produce live/raw shellfish required
documentation is limited to the most
recent Plant and Shipping Element
Program Evaluation Report and the most
recent inspection report for each
shellfish processing firm to be listed for
export to the EU.
In the Federal Register of June 8, 2018
(83 FR 26699), we published a 60-day
notice requesting public comment on
the proposed collection of information.
No comments were received.
We estimate the burden of this
collection of information as follows:
