SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA 

has submitted the following proposed 

collection of information to OMB for 

review and clearance. 

Food Safety Survey—(OMB Control 

Number 0910–0345—Reinstatement) 

Under section 903(b)(2) of the Federal 

Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 

393(b)(2)), FDA is authorized to conduct 

research relating to foods and to 

conduct educational and public 

information programs relating to the 

safety of the nation’s food supply. The 

Food Safety Survey is a nationally 

representative survey of consumers’ 

knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about 

food safety. Previous versions of the 

survey were collected in 1988, 1993, 

1998, 2001, and 2006. Data from the 

previous surveys are being used to 

evaluate two Healthy People 2010 

objectives: (1) Increase the proportion of 

consumers who follow key food safety 

practices (Objective 10–5), and (2) 

reduce severe allergic reactions to food 

among adults (Objective 10–4b). 

Additionally, data are used to measure 

trends in consumer food safety habits 

including hand and cutting board 

washing, cooking practices, and use of 

food thermometers. Finally, data are 

used to evaluate educational messages 

and to inform policymakers about 

consumer attitudes about novel 

technologies such as food irradiation 

and biotechnology. 

Since 2006, there have been several 

high profile recalls of FDA-regulated 

food due to contamination. Information 

about food recalls does not always reach 

the intended audience (Refs. 1, 2, and 

3). The Food Safety Survey planned for 

2009 will look specifically at reasons 

why consumers do not always heed 

food recall alerts. A new food recall 

module will be added that contains new 

questions to learn about how recent 

food recalls have affected consumer 

confidence in the food supply and what 

effect, if any, they have on consumers’ 

home food safety behaviors. This 

information will help FDA develop 

strategies to more effectively 

communicate food recall information to 

the public. 

The methods for the 2009 version of 

the Food Safety Survey will be the same 

as for the previous Food Safety Surveys. 

A nationally representative sample of 

4,000 adults in households with 

telephones will be selected at random 

and interviewed by telephone. This 

survey will include an oversample of 

Hispanics with a minimum of 500 

Hispanics sampled. Additionally, 200 

initial nonrespondents will be asked to 

participate in a short version of the 

survey to conduct a nonresponse 

analysis. Participation will be voluntary. 

Cognitive interviews and a pretest will 

be conducted prior to fielding the 

survey. 

In the Federal Register of September 

17, 2008 (73 FR 53878), FDA published 

a 60-day notice requesting public 

comment on the proposed collection of 

information. The agency received one 

comment that was not responsive to the 

comment request on the information 

collection provisions. 

FDA estimates the burden of this 

collection of information as follows: 

The total estimated burden imposed 

by this collection of information is 1,541 

hours (table 1 of this document).

1There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. 

Prior to finalizing the survey, FDA 

will conduct 20 cognitive interviews 

each requiring an average of 1 hour per 

respondent for a total of 20 hours. 

Before the survey is fielded, a small 

pretest of 27 individuals, each lasting 

half an hour (0.5 hour), will be 

conducted. The survey screener is 

estimated to take 1 minute or less per 


sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 177 / Tuesday, September 15, 2009 / Notices 47257 

response for a total screener burden of 

4,000 (respondents) + 6,000 (ineligibles 

screened) x .0167 hours = 167 hours. 

The survey will require an average of 20 

minutes (0.33 hours) per respondent 

and we expect that the variation in 

burden across respondents will be 

small. This estimate is based on average 

interview time for the 2006 Food Safety 

Survey. The proposed number of 

respondents is 4,000, each of whom will 

be asked to complete a one-time 

telephone interview that requires no 

preparation time. Additionally, 200 

initial nonrespondents will be asked to 

participate in a short version of the 

survey to conduct a nonresponse 

analysis. This is expected to take 6 

minutes (0.10 hours). Therefore, the 

total estimated public reporting burden 

is 1,541 hours. 

We have revised the burden table. In 

the 60-day notice published on 

September 17, 2008, we estimated the 

total burden to be 1,421 hours. The total 

burden of 1,541 hours estimated in table 

1 of this document includes an 

additional 120 hours, which resulted 

from correcting a typographical error in 

line 4 of the table. The hours per 

response in line 4 of table 1 changed 

from 0.3 to 0.33.

Purified Saxitoxin for Food Safety 

Applications 

Description of Technology: Available 

for licensing as a biological material for 

research purposes is purified saxitoxin. 

Saxitoxin is the parent compound in a 

family of natural toxins that can occur 

in seafood and can cause food borne 

illness. Highly purified saxitoxin is vital 

for the development, validation, and 

calibration of detection methods for 

these toxins, as well as for fundamental 

studies in physiology and pain 

management. Interested parties may 

license the compound for conjugation 

chemistry and radiolabeling with the 

end goal of generating a research 

reagent.
