Download as PDF jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 19 / Friday, January 28, 2022 / Notices estimates that one establishment will initially submit one report annually at 2 hours per report, for a total of 2 hours. Submissions under section 904(c) of the FD&C Act are for any new product that is not yet on the market (e.g., if on the market due to deeming compliance period), deemed product manufacturers should have submitted under section 904(a)(1) of the FD&C Act. This includes any statutorily regulated product that would receive a marketing authorization and any new deemed product not subject to the deeming compliance period. For deemed product categories, while we anticipate receiving a large number of premarket applications, there is a portion of these applicants who will have reported their ingredients under section 904(a)(1) of the FD&C Act as most of these submissions are expected to be for products subject to the deeming compliance period. Based on FDA’s experience and the number of new products authorized to be introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce submitted over the past 3 years, FDA estimates that 35 establishments will each submit 10 reports (1 every 6 months). FDA also estimates that the confirmation or updating of product (ingredient) listing information (required by section 904(c) of the FD&C Act) is expected to take 0.40 hours (24 minutes) for a total 140 burden hours. FDA estimates that obtaining a data universal numbering system (DUNS) number will take 30 minutes. FDA assumes that all new establishment facilities that will be required to initially register under section 905 of the FD&C Act would obtain a DUNS number. FDA estimates that up to 100 establishments that would need to obtain this number each year. The total industry burden to obtain a DUNS number is 50 hours. FDA estimates the total burden for this collection to be 764 hours. We have adjusted our burden estimate, which has resulted in a decrease of 66 hours to the currently approved burden. Based on data we reviewed from the past 3 years, we note a decrease in the number of establishments submitting a renewal registration listing, an increase of the number of applications received for deemed products and potential modifications to those, and by projecting the number of remaining establishments that have not registered and submitted product ingredient listings, we revised the number of respondents and burden hours in this information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00074 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 This notice requests extension of OMB approval of the FDA information collection for a generic clearance that allows FDA to use quantitative social/ behavioral science data collection techniques (i.e., surveys and experimental studies) to test consumers’ reactions to FDA communications or educational messaging about FDAregulated food and cosmetic products, dietary supplements, and animal food and feed. To ensure that communications activities and educational campaigns have the highest potential to be received, understood, and accepted by those for whom they are intended, it is important to assess communications while they are under development. Understanding consumers’ attitudes, motivations, and behaviors in response to potential communications and education messaging plays an important role in improving FDA’s communications. If the following conditions are not met, FDA will submit an information collection request to OMB for approval through the normal PRA process: • The collections are voluntary; • The collections are low burden for participants (based on considerations of total burden hours, total number of participants, or burden hours per participant) and are low cost for both the participants and the Federal Government; • The collections are noncontroversial; • Personally identifiable information (PII) is collected only to the extent necessary 1 and is not retained; • Information gathered will not be used for the purpose of substantially informing influential policy decisions; 2 and • Information gathered will yield qualitative findings; the collections will not be designed or expected to yield statistical data or used as though the results are generalizable to the population of study. 1 For example, collections that collect PII to provide remuneration for participants of focus groups and cognitive laboratory studies will be submitted under this request.

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.

Generic Clearance for Quantitative Testing for the Development of FDA 
Communications

OMB Control Number 0910-0865--Extension

    This notice requests extension of OMB approval of the FDA 
information collection for a generic clearance that allows FDA to use 
quantitative social/behavioral science data collection techniques 
(i.e., surveys and experimental studies) to test consumers' reactions 
to FDA communications or educational messaging about FDA-regulated food 
and cosmetic products, dietary supplements, and animal food and feed. 
To ensure that communications activities and educational campaigns have 
the highest potential to be received, understood, and accepted by those 
for whom they are intended, it is important to assess communications 
while they are under development. Understanding consumers' attitudes, 
motivations, and behaviors in response to potential communications and 
education messaging plays an important role in improving FDA's 
communications.
    If the following conditions are not met, FDA will submit an 
information collection request to OMB for approval through the normal 
PRA process:
     The collections are voluntary;
     The collections are low burden for participants (based on 
considerations of total burden hours, total number of participants, or 
burden hours per participant) and are low cost for both the 
participants and the Federal Government;
     The collections are noncontroversial;
     Personally identifiable information (PII) is collected 
only to the extent necessary \1\ and is not retained;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ For example, collections that collect PII to provide 
remuneration for participants of focus groups and cognitive 
laboratory studies will be submitted under this request. All Privacy 
Act requirements will be met.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Information gathered will not be used for the purpose of 
substantially informing influential policy decisions; \2\ and
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ As defined in OMB and Agency Information Quality Guidelines, 
``influential'' means that ``an agency can reasonably determine that 
dissemination of the information will have or does have a clear and 
substantial impact on important public policies or important private 
sector decisions.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Information gathered will yield qualitative findings; the 
collections will not be designed or expected to yield statistical data 
or used as though the results are generalizable to the population of 
study.

[[Page 4626]]

    To obtain approval for an individual generic collection submission 
that meets the conditions of this generic clearance, an abbreviated 
supporting statement will be submitted to OMB along with supporting 
documentation (e.g., a copy of the survey or experimental design and 
stimuli for testing).
    FDA will submit individual quantitative collections under this 
generic clearance to OMB. Individual quantitative collections will also 
undergo review by FDA's Research Involving Human Subjects Committee, 
senior leadership in the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, 
and PRA specialists.
    Respondents to this collection of information may include a wide 
range of consumers and other FDA stakeholders, such as producers and 
manufacturers who are regulated under FDA-regulated food and cosmetic 
products, dietary supplements, and animal food and feed.
    In the Federal Register of September 9, 2021 (86 FR 50544), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. Although one comment was received, it was 
not responsive to the four collection of information topics solicited 
and, therefore, will not be discussed in this document.
    We estimate the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

    Based on a review of the information collection since our last 
request for OMB approval, we have made no adjustments to our burden 
estimate. The total estimated annual burden is 10,498 hours. Current 
estimates are based on both historical numbers of participants from 
past projects as well as estimates for projects to be conducted in the 
next 3 years. The number of participants to be included in each new 
survey will vary, depending on the nature of the compliance efforts and 
the target audience.
