Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 165 / Monday, August 26, 2024 / Notices
that the developers must follow for
Federal regulatory review.
The necessity for this information
collection arises from E.O. 13874,
Section 5, Unified Biotechnology WebBased Platform, and E.O. 14081, Section
8(d). These provisions seek to ensure
that innovators can easily navigate the
Federal regulatory system for products
of biotechnology by directing USDA,
EPA, and FDA to jointly establish a
web-based platform that contains and
provides links to relevant United States
Government regulatory information for
biotechnology products. These
provisions further direct that the webbased platform shall allow developers of
products of agricultural biotechnology
to submit inquiries about a particular
product and promptly receive from the
Agencies a single, coordinated response
that provides, to the extent practicable,
information and, when appropriate,
informal guidance regarding the
processes that the developers must
follow for Federal regulatory review.
The Unified website for
Biotechnology Regulation (‘‘Unified
website’’) is currently hosted by the
Department of Agriculture, with other
agencies providing support, to the
extent consistent with existing
appropriations, through appropriate
interagency agreements, including
agreements under the Economy Act.
USDA–APHIS, EPA, and FDA will
use a web-form on the contact page of
the Unified website to enable site
visitors to ask questions, make
comments, or request a meeting with
one or all of the sponsoring agencies.
The web-form will collect basic contact
information such as the name and email
address of contact page respondents, as
well as the respondents’ questions or
comments and their meeting requests.
Respondent use of the contact page is
voluntary.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of this information
collection activity for 3 years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public (as well as
affected agencies) concerning our
information collection. These comments
will help us:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and

(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, through use, as
appropriate, of automated, electronic,
mechanical, and other collection
technologies; e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Estimate of burden: The public
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 0.5 hours per
response.
Respondents: Commercial and
academic developers of biotechnology
products and the interested public.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 30.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 1.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 30.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 15 hours. (Due to
averaging, the total annual burden hours
may not equal the product of the annual
number of responses multiplied by the
reporting burden per response.)
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
Done in Washington, DC, this 6th day of
August 2024.
Michael Watson,
Administrator, Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service.
