Title: Child Care Biannual Aggregate 

Report ACF–800. 

OMB No.: 0970–0150. 

Description: Section 658K of the Child 

Care and Development Block Grant Act 

of 1990 (Pub. L. 101–508, 42 U.S.C. 

9858) requires that States and 

Territories submit annual aggregate data 

on the children and families receiving 

direct services under the Child Care and 

Development Fund. The implementing 

regulations for the statutorily required 

reporting are at 45 CFR 98.70. Annual 

aggregate reports include data elements 

represented in the ACF–800 reflecting 

the scope, type, and methods of child 

care delivery. This provides ACF with 

the information necessary to make 

reports to Congress, address national 

child care needs, offer technical 

assistance to grantees, meet performance 

measures, and conduct research. 

Consistent with the statute and 

regulations, ACF requests extension of 

the ACF–800. With this extension, ACF 

is proposing several changes and 

clarifications to the reporting 

requirements and instructions. 

Respondents: States, the District of 

Columbia, and Territories including 

Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, 

American Samoa, and the Northern 

Marianna Islands.

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. 

Voluntary Hazard Analysis and Critical 

Control Point Manuals for Operators 

and Regulators of Retail and Food 

Service Establishments—(OMB Control 

Number 0910–0578—Extension) 

The Operator’s Manual contains 

information and recommendations for 

operators of retail and foodservice 

establishments who wish to develop 

and implement a voluntary food safety 

management system based on Hazard 

Analysis and Critical Control Point 

(HACCP) principles. Operators may 

decide to incorporate some or all of the 

principles presented in the manual into 

their existing food safety management 

systems. The recordkeeping practices 

discussed in the manual are voluntary 

and may include documenting certain 

activities, such as monitoring and 

verification, which the operator may or 

may not deem necessary to ensure food 

safety. The manual includes optional 

worksheets to assist operators in 

developing and validating a voluntary 

food safety management system. 

The Regulator’s Manual contains 

recommendations for State, local, and 

tribal regulators on conducting riskbased inspections of retail and 

foodservice establishments, including 

recommendations about recordkeeping 

practices that can assist operators in 

preventing foodborne illness. These 

recommendations may lead to voluntary 

actions by operators based on 

consultation with regulators. For 

example, an operator may develop a risk 

control plan as an intervention strategy 

for controlling specific out-of-control 

foodborne illness risk factors identified 

during an inspection. Further, the 

manual contains recommendations to 

assist regulators when evaluating 

voluntary food safety management 

systems in retail and foodservice 

establishments. Such evaluations 

typically consist of the following two 

components: (1) Validation (assessing 

whether the establishment’s voluntary 

food safety management system is 

adequate to control food safety hazards) 

and (2) verification (assessing whether 

the establishment is following its 

voluntary food safety management 

system). The manual includes a sample 

entitled ‘‘Verification Inspection 

Checklist’’ to assist regulators when 

conducting verification inspections of 

establishments with voluntary food 

safety management systems. 

Types of operator records discussed 

in the manuals and listed in the 

following burden estimates include: (1) 

Food safety management systems (plans 

that delineate the formal procedures to 

follow to control all food safety hazards 

in an operation); (2) risk control plans 

(HACCP-based, goal-oriented plans for 

achieving active managerial control over 

specific out-of-control foodborne illness 

risk factors); (3) hazard analysis (written 

assessment of the significant food safety 

hazards associated with foods prepared 

in the establishment); (4) prerequisite 

programs (written policies or 

procedures, including but not limited 

to, standard operating procedures, 

training protocols, and buyer 

specifications that address maintenance 

of basic operational and sanitation 

conditions); (5) monitoring (records 

showing the observations or 

measurements that are made to help 

determine if critical limits are being met 

and maintained); (6) corrective action 

(records indicating the activities that are 

completed whenever a critical limit is 

not met); (7) ongoing verification 

(records showing the procedures that 

are followed to ensure that monitoring 

and other functions of the food safety 

management system are being 

implemented properly); and (8) 

validation (records indicating that 

scientific and technical information is 

collected and evaluated to determine if 

the food safety management system, 

when properly implemented, effectively 

controls the hazards). 

All recommendations in both manuals 

are voluntary. For simplicity and to 

avoid duplicate estimates for operator 

recordkeeping practices that are 

discussed in both manuals, the burden 

for all collection of information 

recommendations for retail and 

foodservice operators are estimated 

together in table 1 of this document, 

regardless of the manual in which they 

appear. Collection of information 

recommendations for regulators in the 

Regulator’s Manual are listed separately 

in table 2 of this document. 

Description of Respondents: The 

likely respondents to this collection of 

information are operators and regulators 

of retail and foodservice establishments. 

In the Federal Register of December 

19, 2008 (73 FR 77721), FDA published 

a 60-day notice requesting public 

comment on the information collection 

provisions. No comments were received. 

FDA estimates the burden of this 

collection of information as follows:
