Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 231 / Tuesday, December 1, 2020 / Notices Finally, the National Adult Protective Services Association (NAPSA) conducted a survey of State APS programs in 2012, and the National Association of State Units on Aging and Disability (NASUAD) fielded a survey to its members, which are not APS programs, in January 2018 intended to update findings from the NAPSA 2012 survey. Since the survey replicates the original NAPSA survey, the questions in it are not focused on APS practice and are not directed at the same respondents as the proposed survey. As noted, a few topics in the original survey overlap with the proposed instrument, but the wording and focus of the few questions on similar topics are different. From this analysis, we conclude the proposed APS Practice Survey will yield vital information on APS practice not available from other sources. Proposed Collection Efforts The APS Practice Survey will collect state- and territory-specific practices for states between July and September 2017. Following their pretest of the survey instrument, pilot respondents participated in focus groups in which they provided recommendations on data collection procedures, views on the availability of data being requested, and estimates of the burden to each state and territory for completion of the survey. It is assumed that nearly every state and territory will participate and that time to develop a response will be similar to the experience of states during the pilot test. ACL has calculated the following burden estimates based on the results of the survey pilot test. To review and comment on the proposed data collection, please visit the ACL public input site at https:// www.acl.gov/about-acl/public-input.

Across these areas, the survey will collect information on practices such as community partnerships and use of assessment tools. The APS Practice Survey will be administered online using SurveyMonkey or a similar commercial survey-programming tool. The online survey will include data validation routines to minimize errors or unintentional omissions and will include appropriate skip patterns to reduce burden. Respondents will be state and territory APS agencies, including APS agencies in the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, Northern Marianas Islands, Virgin Islands, and American Samoa. No personally identifiable information will be collected.

Such applications contain, among other important items, full reports of all studies done to demonstrate product safety in man and/or other animals. In order to ensure adequate quality control for these studies and to provide an adequate degree of consumer protection, the Agency issued good laboratory practice (GLP) regulations for nonclinical laboratory studies in part 58 (21 CFR part 58). The regulations specify minimum standards for the proper conduct of safety testing and contain sections on facilities, personnel, equipment, standard operating procedures (SOPs), test and control articles, quality assurance, protocol and conduct of a safety study, records and reports, and laboratory disqualification, E:\FR\FM\01DEN1.SGM 01DEN1 77220 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 231 / Tuesday, December 1, 2020 / Notices and include information collection provisions. Part 58 requires testing facilities engaged in conducting toxicological studies to retain, and make available to regulatory officials, records regarding compliance with GLPs. Records are maintained on file at each testing facility and examined there periodically by FDA inspectors. The GLP regulations require that, for each nonclinical laboratory study, a final report be prepared that documents the results of quality assurance unit inspections, test and control article characterization, testing of mixtures of test and control articles with carriers, and an overall interpretation of nonclinical laboratory studies. The GLP regulations also require written records pertaining to: (1) Personnel job descriptions and summaries of training and experience; (2) master schedules, protocols and amendments thereto, inspection reports, and SOPs; (3) equipment inspection, maintenance, calibration, and testing records; (4) documentation of feed and water analyses and animal treatments; (5) test article accountability records; and (6) study documentation and raw data. In the Federal Register of July 24, 2020 (85 FR 44900), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. One comment was received that encouraged implementation of automated collection methods and analytical software to evaluate results. FDA appreciates this comment and continually seek ways to employ efficient collection methods using our limited resources. The comment suggested no revision to our burden estimate.

Good Laboratory Practice for Nonclinical Laboratory Studies--21 CFR 
Part 58

OMB Control Number 0910-0119--Extension

    Sections 409, 505, 512, and 515 of the Federal Food, Drug, and 
Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 348, 355, 360b, and 360e) and related statutes 
require manufacturers of food additives, human drugs and biological

product safety in man and/or other animals. In order to ensure adequate 
quality control for these studies and to provide an adequate degree of 
consumer protection, the Agency issued good laboratory practice (GLP) 
regulations for nonclinical laboratory studies in part 58 (21 CFR part 
58). The regulations specify minimum standards for the proper conduct 
of safety testing and contain sections on facilities, personnel, 
equipment, standard operating procedures (SOPs), test and control 
articles, quality assurance, protocol and conduct of a safety study, 
records and reports, and laboratory disqualification,

and include information collection provisions.
    Part 58 requires testing facilities engaged in conducting 
toxicological studies to retain, and make available to regulatory 
officials, records regarding compliance with GLPs. Records are 
maintained on file at each testing facility and examined there 
periodically by FDA inspectors. The GLP regulations require that, for 
each nonclinical laboratory study, a final report be prepared that 
documents the results of quality assurance unit inspections, test and 
control article characterization, testing of mixtures of test and

nonclinical laboratory studies. The GLP regulations also require 
written records pertaining to: (1) Personnel job descriptions and 
summaries of training and experience; (2) master schedules, protocols 
and amendments thereto, inspection reports, and SOPs; (3) equipment 
inspection, maintenance, calibration, and testing records; (4) 
documentation of feed and water analyses and animal treatments; (5) 
test article accountability records; and (6) study documentation and 
raw data.
    In the Federal Register of July 24, 2020 (85 FR 44900), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information.
    One comment was received that encouraged implementation of 
automated collection methods and analytical software to evaluate 
results. FDA appreciates this comment and continually seek ways to 
employ efficient collection methods using our limited resources. The 
comment suggested no revision to our burden estimate.
    FDA estimates the burden of this information collection as follows:
