* (15 minutes).
For the purpose of this consolidation,
we base our estimate of the total annual
responses on submissions received
during fiscal years 2019 and 2020. We
base our estimate of the hours per
response on our experience with the
labeling, food additive petition, and
filing processes.
The information collection reflects a
net decrease of 70,453 hours (189,600
OMB approved hours—119,147
estimated hours). We also experienced a
net increase of 2,587 responses from 35
OMB approved annual responses to
2,616 estimated annual responses.
These changes were due to the
consolidating of the information
collection covered by OMB control
number 0910–0721 and due to
estimated changes of the number of
respondents for food additive petitions
and investigational food additive files.
Section 571.1(c) Moderate Category:
The estimated time requirement per
food additive petition remains at
approximately 3,000 hours; however,
we now estimate that the number of
annual respondents has decreased from
12 to 6 respondents for a total of 18,000
hours.
Section 571.1(c) Complex Category:
The estimated time requirement per
food additive petition remains at
approximately 10,000 hours; however,
we now estimate that the number of
annual respondents has decreased from
12 to 5 respondents for a total of 50,000
hours.
Section 571.6 Amendment of
Petition: We estimated that the number
of annual respondents that will submit
an amendment has increased from two
to five respondents who will each
submit one amendment for a total of
6,500 hours. This is an increase of three
respondents and 3,900 hours from the
burden approved by OMB.
Section 570.17 Moderate Category:
We estimated that the number of annual
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:07 Oct 07, 2021
Jkt 256001
respondents for investigational food
additive files has increased from four to
six respondents who will each submit
one file for a total of 9,000 hours. This
is an increase of two respondents and
3,000 hours from the burden approved
by OMB.
Section 570.17 Complex Category:
We estimated that the number of annual
respondents for investigational food
additive files has increased from five to
seven respondents who will each
submit one such file, for a total of
35,000 hours. This is an increase of
10,000 hour from the burden approved
by OMB.
Section 501.22(k) Labeling of Color
Additive or Lake of Color Additive;
Labeling of Color Additives Not Subject
to Certification: The information
collection reflects an adjustment in
burden by 647 hours and 2,587
responses. We attribute this adjustment
due to the consolidation of OMB control
number 0910–0546 and OMB control
number 0910–0721.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood
Home Visiting Program Quarterly
Performance Report, OMB No. 0906–
0016, Revision.
Abstract: This clearance request is for
continued approval of the Maternal,
Infant, and Early Childhood Home
Visiting (MIECHV) Program Quarterly
Performance Report. The MIECHV
Program, administered by HRSA in
partnership with the Administration for
Children and Families, supports
voluntary, evidence-based home visiting
services during pregnancy and to
parents with young children up to
kindergarten entry. States, certain nonprofit organizations, and Tribal entities
are eligible to receive funding from the
MIECHV Program and have the
flexibility to tailor the program to serve
the specific needs of their communities.
A 60-Day notice was published in the
Federal Register, 86 FR 35809 (July 7,
2021). There were two public
comments. These comments expressed
support for proposed updates to
definitions of key terms and provided
suggestions to improve clarity and
reduce reporting burden related to

quarterly information reporting. HRSA
appreciates these comments and
suggestions to the information
collection. Comments also raised
questions about existing guidance that
do not appear to require amendments to
the guidance and that HRSA therefore
intends to address through technical
assistance. After taking these comments
into consideration, HRSA intends the
following proposed revisions to Form 4:
• Form 4, Reporting guidance: Revise
reporting instructions and links to
reflect updated reporting requirements.
• Form 4, Definition of Key Terms:
Update definitions for Table A.1.
• Form 4, Definition of Key Terms:
Add definitions for Table A.2.
• Form 4, Due date: The due date will
be revised to 45 days after the end of
each reporting period.
HRSA requests approval to expand
the use of Form 4 in order to collect
quarterly performance data from
awardees who receive MIECHV funding
appropriated by section 9101 of the
American Rescue Plan Act (Pub. L. 117–
2).
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: HRSA uses quarterly
performance information to demonstrate
program accountability and
continuously monitor and provide
oversight to MIECHV Program awardees.
The information is also used to provide
quality improvement guidance and
technical assistance to awardees and
help inform the development of early
childhood systems at the national, state,
and local level. HRSA seeks to revise
reporting instructions and definitions of
key terms and to expand the use of
Form 4 in order to collect distinct
quarterly performance data related to
the use of American Rescue Plan Act
funds. This notice is subject to the
appropriation of funds, and is a
contingency action taken to ensure that,
should funds become available for this
purpose, information can be collected in
a timely manner.
Likely Respondents: MIECHV Program
awardees are states, jurisdictions, and,
where applicable, nonprofit
organizations receiving MIECHV
funding to provide home visiting
services within states.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.
