Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 58 / Wednesday, March 26, 1997 / Notices 43

In addition, for Indian Tribes and

tribal organizations the Act requires that

‘‘in lieu of any licensing and regulatory

requirements applicable under State and

local law, the Secretary, in consultation

with Indian Tribes and tribal

organizations, shall develop minimum

child care standards (that appropriately

reflect tribal needs and available

resources) that shall be applicable to

Indian Tribes and tribal organizations

receiving assistance under the Child

Care and Development Fund’’.

Purpose

The purpose of this Federal Register

Notice is to seek input on the

development of minimum tribal child

care standards. This Federal Register

Notice will serve as one means of

consulting with the Tribes and tribal

organizations on the development of

such standards.

Tribes for the most part have been

faced with the challenge of using a

variety of methods to address the health

and safety of children in their child care

programs. These methods have

including adopting State standards and/

or using a combination of State and

Tribal standards. With the number of

children in tribal child care programs

expected to increase as more parents

enter the workforce, the need for

minimum standards that reflect the

particular needs and situations of Tribes

is vital.

The development of minimum Tribal

child care standards will enhance the

Tribes’ ability to implement standards

that address the varying needs and

available resources of tribal

communities and to assure that children

are healthy and safe.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the

PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal

agencies must obtain approval from the

Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) for each collection of

information they conduct or sponsor.

‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined

in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR

1320.3(c) and includes agency requests

or requirements that members of the

public submit reports, keep records, or

provide information to a third party.

Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal

agencies to provide a 60-day notice in

the Federal Register concerning each

proposed collection of information

before submitting the collection to OMB

for approval. To comply with this

requirement, FDA is publishing notice

of the proposed collection of

information listed below.

With respect to the following

collection of information, FDA invites

comments on: (1) Whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of FDA’s

functions, including whether the

information will have practical utility;

(2) the accuracy of FDA’s estimate of the

burden of the proposed collection of

information, including the validity of

the methodology and assumptions used;

(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility,

and clarity of the information to be

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the

burden of the collection of information

on respondents, including through the

use of automated collection techniques,

when appropriate, and other forms of

information technology.

Food Safety Survey—New Collection

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. FDA

is planning to conduct a consumer

survey about food safety under this

authority. The food safety survey will

provide information about consumers’

food safety awareness, knowledge,

concerns, and practices. A nationally

representative sample of 2,000 adults in

households with telephones and

cooking facilities will be selected at

random and interviewed by telephone.

Participation will be voluntary. Detailed

information will be obtained about risk

perception, perceived sources of food

contamination, knowledge of particular

microorganisms, safe care label use,

food handling practices, consumption of

raw foods from animals, information

sources, and perceived foodborne

illness experience. Most of the questions

asked are identical to ones asked in a

1992–1993 survey so that changes over

this time period can be assessed.

FDA estimates the burden of this

collection of information as follows:

There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection.
44 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 58 / Wednesday, March 26, 1997 / Notices

This will be a one-time survey. The

burden estimate is based on FDA’s

experience with the 1992–1993 survey

mentioned in the previous paragraph.
