Policy Letter for the Application of Fishing Vessel Construction Requirements, 70654-70655 [2024-19590]

Download as PDF 70654 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 169 / Friday, August 30, 2024 / Notices within the operation.5 The intent is to sample establishments that fall under risk categories 2 through 4. FDA has approximately 25 Retail Food Specialists (Specialists) who serve as the data collectors for the study. A standard form is used by the Specialists during each data collection. The form is divided into three sections: Section 1— ‘‘Establishment Information’’; Section 2—‘‘Regulatory Authority Information’’; and Section 3—‘‘Foodborne Illness Risk Factor and Food Safety Management System Assessment.’’ The information in Section 1 ‘‘Establishment Information’’ of the form is obtained during an interview with the establishment owner or person in charge by the Specialist and includes a standard set of questions. The information in Section 2 ‘‘Regulatory Authority Information’’ is obtained during an interview with the program director of the State or local jurisdiction that has regulatory responsibility for conducting inspections for the selected establishment. Section 3 includes three parts: Part A for tabulating the Specialists’ observations of the food employees’ behaviors and practices in limiting contamination, proliferation, and survival of food safety hazards; Part B for assessing the food safety management system being implemented by the facility; and Part C for assessing the frequency and extent of food employee handwashing. The information in Part A is collected from the Specialists’ direct observations of food employee behaviors and practices. Infrequent, nonstandard questions may be asked by the Specialists if clarification is needed on the food safety procedure or practice being observed. The information in Part B is collected by making direct observations and asking follow-up questions of facility management to obtain information on the extent to which the food establishment has developed and implemented food safety management systems. The information in Part C is collected by making direct observations of food employee handwashing. No questions are asked in the completion of Section 3, Part C of the form. FDA collects the following information associated with the establishment’s identity: establishment name, street address, city, State, ZIP Code, county, industry segment, and facility type. The establishmentidentifying information is collected to ensure the data collections are not duplicative. Other information related to the nature of the operation, such as seating capacity and number of employees per shift, is also collected. The burden associated with the completion of Sections 1 and 3 of Form FDA 3967 is specific to the persons in charge of the selected facilities. The burden includes the time it will take the person in charge to accompany the data collector during the site visit and answer the data collector’s questions. The burden related to the completion of Section 2 of the form is specific to the program directors (or designated individuals) of the respective regulatory authorities. This burden includes the time it will take to answer the data collectors’ questions and is the same regardless of the facility type. Data will be consolidated and reported in a manner that does not reveal the identity of any establishment included in the study. FDA has collaborated with the Food Protection and Defense Institute to develop a web-based platform in FoodSHIELD to collect, store, and analyze data for the Retail Risk Factor Study. This platform is accessible to State, local, territorial, and tribal regulatory jurisdictions to collect data relevant to their own risk factor studies. Data will be consolidated and reported in a manner that does not reveal the identity of any establishment included in the study. In the Federal Register of March 6, 2024 (89 FR 15996), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. One comment was received. It was in favor of the study, but it was not responsive to the four collection of information topics solicited. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 2—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN 1 Number of respondents Activity Total annual responses Average burden per response Total hours Fast-Food and Full-Service Restaurants—Form FDA 3966.

Based on a review of the information collection since our last request for OMB approval, we have made adjustments to our burden estimate. On our own initiative, however, and for efficiency of Agency operations, we are revising the information collection to include and consolidate related information collection found in 0910– 0799. Since the publication of the 60day notice, we made adjustments to our burden estimate. Our estimated burden for the information collection reflects a decrease of 35 total burden hours and a corresponding decrease of 792 total annual responses. Dated: August 27, 2024. Lauren K. Roth, Associate Commissioner for Policy.
