Meeting of the Advisory Committee on Heritable Disorders in Newborns and Children, 47766-47767 [2022-16654]

Download as PDF 47766 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 149 / Thursday, August 4, 2022 / Notices led to a subsequent 2020 study conducted and published by Jones et al., which found that analysis of pooled samples was not equivalent to that of single samples. In environmental samples, the level of background microflora plays a role in the ability to detect SE, if present. When samples are pooled, the amount of background microflora is amplified, potentially causing the inability to detect SE by masking its presence. This is further exacerbated based on the number of pooled samples (e.g., two vs. four samples per collection bag) and could result in false negative test results. After consideration of the science, FDA determined that at this time, there is not sufficient data to consider pooled samples equivalent to single samples, as required by the reference methods cited in § 118.8. While we understand cost considerations are important, the primary concern should always be the ability to detect SE if it is present. The comment also suggested adjusting the egg testing protocol to two 1,000-egg samples instead of four 1,000-egg samples. Testing four 1,000-egg samples over an 8-week period results in approximately a 95 percent probability that a positive egg will be detected from a flock that is producing SEcontaminated eggs with a prevalence of 1 in 1,400. Testing fewer than 4,000 eggs over a period of 8 weeks, as required by § 118.7, would result in less than a 95 percent probability that a positive egg would be detected from a flock that is producing SE-contaminated eggs at that rate. We find that the required testing established under 21 CFR 118.7 and 118.8 best protects the public health and that relaxing the current testing requirements, whether or not in an effort to reduce costs, would not provide the same level of protection necessary to ensure the public health. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1—ESTIMATED ANNUAL RECORDKEEPING BURDEN 1 Number of recordkeepers 2 Activity; 21 CFR section Refrigeration Records; § 118.10(a)(3)(iv) .......................

Based on a review of the information collection since our last request for OMB approval, we have made no adjustments to our burden estimate. Our estimates for the recordkeeping burden and the reporting burden are based on our experience with similar recordkeeping activities and the number of registrations and cancellations received in the past 3 years.
