Guidance for Industry: What You Need To Know About Administrative Detention of Foods; Small Entity Compliance Guide; Availability
Document Number: 2013-05470
Type: Notice
Date: 2013-03-08
Agency: Food and Drug Administration, Department of Health and Human Services
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry entitled ``What You Need to Know About Administrative Detention of Foods; Small Entity Compliance Guide'' (SECG) which updates an earlier guidance of similar title. Previously, this guidance restated the legal requirements of FDA's administrative detention regulation. This document also at one time served as FDA's guidance for administrative detention. In October 2011, FDA revised an earlier version of this guidance document to be consistent with the changes made by an interim final rule (IFR) issued in the Federal Register of May 5, 2011, and to serve as guidance for industry on administrative detention. FDA has since issued a final rule adopting the IFR as final without changes which was published in the Federal Register of February 5, 2013. Accordingly, FDA is further revising the existing guidance document to provide guidance intended to help any entity comply with the requirements in FDA's administrative detention regulation, including the amendments to these requirements made by the final rule. This notice also clarifies that this document continues to serve as FDA's guidance for administrative detention.

In compliance with section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Electronic Government Office (EGOV), Department of Health and Human Services, announces plans to submit an Information Collection Request (ICR), described below, to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

The 4040-0003 previously included the Project Abstract and Key Contacts Form. Those forms are no longer included in 4040-0003 and shall be moved to OMB control number 4040-0010. The ICR also requests categorizing the form as a common form, meaning HHS will only request approval for its own use of the form rather than aggregating the burden estimate across all Federal Agencies as was done for previous actions on this OMB control number. Prior to submitting that ICR to OMB, EGOV seeks comments from the public regarding the burden estimate, below, or any other aspect of the ICR.
