Regarding the Cannabidiol (CBD) Enforcement 

Actions (Dec. 17, 2020). 

use of CBD products to treat certain 

conditions—specifically, the FDA has 

approved a drug containing CBD as an 

active ingredient to treat rare, severe 

forms of epilepsy.4 And I understand 

that many research studies are currently 

seeking to determine whether there are 

other scientifically valid and safe uses 

of this ingredient. 

I agree with my predecessors who 

have stated that the Commission should 

be careful to avoid imposing an unduly 

high standard of substantiation that 

risks denying consumers truthful, useful 

information, may diminish incentives to 

conduct research, and could chill 

manufacturer incentives to introduce 

new products to the market.5 And I 

agree with the observation of my 

colleague Commissioner Chopra in his 

statement that ‘‘[b]aseless claims give 

patients false hope, improperly increase 

or divert their medical spending, and 

undermine ‘a competitor’s ability to 

compete’ on honest attributes.’’ 6

Although I support these cases, I hope 

that the Commission’s actions here, 

which challenge wholly unsubstantiated 

disease claims, do not discourage 

research into the potential legitimate 

benefits of CBD and a wide array of 

other products. In addition, going 

forward, I urge the Commission to focus 

our scarce resources on marketers that 

make strong, express claims about 

diseases and serious health issues with 

little to no scientific support and engage 

in deceptive practices that cause 

substantial consumer injury.

Program Support (OMB #0970–0531) 

AGENCY: Office of Planning, Research,

Children and Families, HHS. 

ACTION: Request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF) proposes 

to revise the existing overarching 

generic clearance for Formative Data 

Collections for ACF Program Support 

(OMB #0970–0531) to increase the 

estimated number of respondents and, 

therefore, the overall burden estimate. 

DATES: Comments due within 30 days of 

publication. OMB is required to make a 

decision concerning the collection of 

information between 30 and 60 days 

after publication of this document in the 

Federal Register. Therefore, a comment 

is best assured of having its full effect 

if OMB receives it within 30 days of 

publication. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ 

PRAMain. Find this particular 

information collection by selecting 

‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open 

for Public Comments’’ or by using the 

search function. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Description: The goals of the generic 

information collections under this 

approval are to obtain information about 

program and grantee processes or needs, 

and to inform the following types of 

activities, among others: 

• Delivery of targeted assistance and 

workflows related to program and 

grantee processes, and the development 

and refinement of recordkeeping and 

communication systems. 

• Planning for provision of 

programmatic or evaluation-related 

training or technical assistance (T/TA). 

• Obtaining grantee or other 

stakeholder input on the development 

of program performance measures. 

• Use of rapid-cycle testing activities 

to strengthen programs in preparation 

for summative evaluations. 

ACF uses a variety of techniques such 

as semi-structured discussions, focus 

groups, surveys, templates, open-ended 

requests, and telephone or in-person 

interviews, in order to reach these goals. 

Following standard OMB 

requirements, OPRE will submit a 

change request for each individual data 

collection activity under this generic 

clearance. Each request will include the 

individual instrument(s), a justification 

specific to the individual information 

collection, and any supplementary 

documents. OMB should review 

requests within 10 days of submission. 

Respondents: Example respondents 

include: Current or prospective service 

providers, training or T/TA providers, 

grantees, contractors, current and 

potential participants in ACF programs 

or similar comparison groups, experts in 

fields pertaining to ACF programs, key 

stakeholder groups involved in ACF 

projects and programs, individuals 

engaged in program re-design or 

demonstration development for 

evaluation, state or local government 

officials, or others involved in or 

prospectively involved in ACF 

programs.
