are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.
Number of respondents to be included
in each new survey will vary,
depending on the nature of the material
or message being tested and the target
audience. Table 1 provides examples of
the types of activities that may be
administered and estimated burden
levels during the 3-year period. Time to
read, review, or complete the activity is
built into the ‘‘Average Burden per
Response’’ figures. Our estimated
burden for the information collection
reflects an overall increase of 60,000
hours and a corresponding increase of
461,808 responses. We attribute the
adjustment to an increase in the number
of new quantitative studies that are
anticipated underneath this information
collection during the next 3 years
(proposed extension).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
Federal Register of June 20, 2014 (79 FR
35362), we issued a notice announcing
that we had issued a temporary permit
to StarKist Seafood Company, 225 North
Shore Dr., Pittsburgh, PA 15212, to
market test products identified as
canned tuna products. The permit
allowed for the test product to be
manufactured at Galapesca S.A., Km.
12.5 Via A Duale, Guayaquil, Ecuador,
and StarKist Samoa Co., 368 Atu’u Rd.,
Pago Pago, American Samoa 96799. We
issued the permit to facilitate market
testing of products that deviate from the
requirements of the standard of identity
for canned tuna in 21 CFR 161.190,
which was issued under section 401 of
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (21 U.S.C. 341).
In the Federal Register of March 7,
2016 (81 FR 11813), we issued a notice
announcing that we were extending the
temporary market permit issued to
StarKist Seafood Company. The
extension allows the applicants to
continue to measure consumer
acceptance of the products and assess
the commercial feasibility of the
products, in support of a petition to
amend the standard of identity for
canned tuna. The new expiration date of
the permit will be either the effective
date of a final rule amending the
standard of identity for canned tuna that
may result from the petition or 30 days
after denial of the petition.
Under our regulations at 21 CFR
130.17(f), we are amending the
temporary permit issued to StarKist
Seafood Company, to allow the test
product to be manufactured at three
additional plants: Tropical Canning
(Thailand) Public Co., LTD., 1⁄1 M.2
T.Thungyai, Hatyai, Songkhla 90110,
Thailand; ISA Value Co., Ltd., 44/4

Islands), Soltuna Ltd., 1 Tuna Dr., Noro,
Western Province, Solomon Islands. We
are also amending the temporary permit
to increase the amount of test product
to be market tested to 213,500,000
pounds (96,841,971 kilograms) in retail
cans of various sizes. All other
conditions and terms of this permit
remain the same.
