ACTION:
Request for public comment.
The Office on Trafficking of
Persons (OTIP), Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is requesting expedited
review of an information collection
request from OMB for an increase in the
number of respondents to the previously
approved information collection,
National Human Trafficking Training
and Technical Assistance Center
(NHTTAC) Evaluation Package (OMB
#0970–0519, expiration 10/31/2021).
This will increase the estimated burden
hours from 689 hours to 9,495 hours. In
addition, the previously approved
SOAR Online participant feedback form
has been restructured into a long and a
short form to reduce burden for
information collected on SOAR Online
training participants outside of the
NHTTAC learning management system.
SUMMARY:
There are no changes requested to the
items on any forms.
DATES: ACF is requesting that OMB
approve this request under procedures
for emergency processing by December
20, 2019.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed
collection of information can be
obtained by emailing infocollection@
acf.hhs.gov. All requests should identify
the title of the information collection.
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
directly to the following: Office of
Management and Budget, Paperwork
Reduction Project, Email: OIRA_
SUBMISSION@OMB.EOP.GOV, Attn:
Desk Officer for the Administration for
Children and Families.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: ACF is requesting that
OMB grant a 180 day approval for this
request under procedures for expedited
processing by December 20, 2019. A
request for review under normal
procedures will be submitted within
180 days of the approval for this
request. These changes are requested
due to the passage of the Stop, Observe,
Ask, and Respond to Health and
Wellness Act of 2018 (Pub. L. 115–398)
which expands the SOAR to Health and
Wellness Training Program. To meet the
provisions of the SOAR to Health and
Wellness Act of 2018, OTIP’s NHTTAC
must expand the administration of
SOAR nationwide.
The NHTTAC delivers training and
technical assistance (T/TA) to inform
and deliver a public health response to
trafficking. In applying a public health
approach, NHTTAC holistically builds

information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
PO 00000
individuals who have been trafficked
and address the root causes that put
individuals, families, and communities
at risk of trafficking. This will
ultimately help improve the availability
and delivery of coordinated and traumainformed services before, during, and
after an individual’s trafficking
exploitation, regardless of their age,
gender, nationality, sexual orientation,
or type of exploitation.
NHTTAC hosts a variety of services,
programs, and facilitated sessions to
improve service provision to
individuals who have been trafficked or
who are at risk of trafficking, including
The Human Trafficking Leadership
Academy (HTLA); the Survivor
Fellowship Program; the NHTTAC Call
Center; both short-term and specialized
T/TA requests (requests that take less
than 3 hours or 3 or more hours to
fulfill, respectively); OTIP-funded
grantees; and information through
NHTTAC’s website, resources, and
materials about trafficking.
Respondents: Individuals and
organizations such as NHTTAC
consultants, training and technical
assistance participants, Human
Trafficking Leadership Academy
program participants, Survivor fellows,
OTIP grantees, visitors to the NHTTAC
website, NHTTAC-supported conference
and meeting attendees, members of the
National Advisory Council, and
scholarship applicants.
Annual Burden Estimates: The
following instruments have an increased
number of respondents. The number of
respondents for all other previously
approved instruments remains the same.
The increase in respondents increases
the overall burden under OMB #0970–
0519 from 689 hours to 9,495 hours.

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.
Notice.
The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA or we) is
announcing that a proposed collection
of information has been submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and clearance under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
DATES: Fax written comments on the
collection of information by December
6, 2019.
ADDRESSES: To ensure that comments on
the information collection are received,
OMB recommends that written
comments be faxed to the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,

SUMMARY:
OMB Control Number 0910–0298—
Extension
Under section 409(a) of the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C
Act) (21 U.S.C. 348(a)), the use of a food
additive is deemed unsafe unless one of
the following is applicable: (1) It
conforms to an exemption for
investigational use under section 409(j)
of the FD&C Act; (2) it conforms to the
terms of a regulation prescribing its use;
or (3) in the case of a food additive that
meets the definition of a food-contact
substance in section 409(h)(6) of the
FD&C Act, there is either a regulation
authorizing its use in accordance with
section 409(a)(3)(A) or an effective
notification in accordance with section
409(a)(3)(B).
The regulations in § 170.39 (21 CFR
170.39) established a process that
provides the manufacturer with an
opportunity to demonstrate that the
likelihood or extent of migration to food
of a substance used in a food-contact
article is so trivial that the use need not
be the subject of a food additive listing
regulation or an effective notification.
59831
The Agency has established two
thresholds for the regulation of
substances used in food-contact articles.
The first exempts those substances used
in food-contact articles where the
resulting dietary concentration would
be at or below 0.5 part per billion. The
second exempts regulated direct food
additives for use in food-contact articles
where the resulting dietary exposure is
1 percent or less of the acceptable daily
intake for these substances.
To determine whether the intended
use of a substance in a food-contact
article meets the threshold criteria,
certain information specified in
§ 170.39(c) must be submitted to FDA.
This information includes the following
components: (1) The chemical
composition of the substance for which
the request is made; (2) detailed
information on the conditions of use of
the substance; (3) a clear statement of
the basis for the request for exemption
from regulation as a food additive; (4)
data that will enable FDA to estimate
the daily dietary concentration resulting
from the proposed use of the substance;
(5) results of a literature search for
toxicological data on the substance and
its impurities; and (6) information on
the environmental impact that would
result from the proposed use. We use
this information to determine whether
the food-contact substance meets the
threshold criteria.
Description of Respondents:
Respondents to this information
collection are individual manufacturers
and suppliers of substances used in
food-contact articles (i.e., food
packaging and food processing
equipment) or of the articles themselves.
In the Federal Register of June 21,
2019 (84 FR 29209), we published a 60day 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:

increase the estimated burden hours from 689 hours to 9,495 hours. In
addition, the previously approved SOAR Online participant feedback form
has been restructured into a long and a short form to reduce burden for
information collected on SOAR Online training participants outside of
the NHTTAC learning management system. There are no changes requested
to the items on any forms.
DATES: ACF is requesting that OMB approve this request under procedures
for emergency processing by December 20, 2019.

for this request under procedures for expedited processing by December
20, 2019. A request for review under normal procedures will be

will ultimately help improve the availability and delivery of
coordinated and trauma-informed services before, during, and after an
individual's trafficking exploitation, regardless of their age, gender,
nationality, sexual orientation, or type of exploitation.
NHTTAC hosts a variety of services, programs, and facilitated
sessions to improve service provision to individuals who have been
trafficked or who are at risk of trafficking, including The Human
Trafficking Leadership Academy (HTLA); the Survivor Fellowship Program;
the NHTTAC Call Center; both short-term and specialized T/TA requests
