Title: Statewide Automated Child 

Welfare Information System (SACWIS) 

Assessment Review Guide (SARGE). 

OMB No.: 0970–0159. 

Description: The Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS) 

cannot fulfill its obligation to effectively 

serve the nation’s adoption and foster 

care populations, nor report meaningful 

and reliable information to Congress 

about the extent of problems facing 

these children or the effectiveness of 

assistance provided to this population, 

without access to timely and accurate 

information. Currently, SACWIS 

support State efforts to meet the 

following Federal reporting 

requirements: The Adoption and Foster 

Care Analysis and Reporting System 

(AFCARS) required by section 479(b)(2) 

of the Social Security Act; the National 

Child Abuse and Neglect Data System 

(NCANDS); Child Abuse Prevention and 

Treatment Act (CAPTA); and the Chafee 

Independent Living Program. These 

systems also support State efforts to 

provide the information to conduct the 

Child and Family Service Reviews. 

Currently, 42 States and the District of 

Columbia have developed, or are 

developing, a SACWIS with Federal 

financial participation. The purpose of 

these reviews is to ensure that all 

aspects of the project, as described in 

the approved Advance Planning 

Document, have been adequately 

completed, and conform to applicable 

regulations and policies. 

To initiate a review, States will 

submit the completed SACWIS 

Assessment Review Guide (SARGE) and 

other documentation at the point that 

they have completed system 

development and the system is 

operational statewide. The additional 

documents submitted as part of this 

process should all be readily available 

to the State as a result of good project 

management practices. 

The information collected in the 

SACWIS Assessment Review Guide will 

allow State and Federal officials to 

determine if the State’s SACWIS meets 

the requirements of title IV–E Federal 

Financial Participation (FFP) defined at 

45 CFR 1355.50. Additionally, other 

States will be able to use the 

documentation provided as part of this 

review process in their own system 

development efforts. 

Respondents: State Title IV–E 

Agencies.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jonna Capezzuto, Office of the Chief 

Information Officer (HFA–250), Food 

and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers

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 National Retail Food 

Regulatory Program Standards 

The Program Standards define nine 

essential elements of an effective 

regulatory program for retail food 

establishments, establish basic quality 

control criteria for each element, and 

provide a means of recognition for those 

state, local, and tribal regulatory 

programs that meet the Program 

Standards. The program elements 

addressed by the Program Standards are 

as follows: (1) Regulatory foundation, 

(2) trained regulatory staff, (3) 

inspection program based on Hazard 

Analysis and Critical Control Point 

(HACCP) principles, (4) uniform 

inspection program, (5) foodborne 

illness and food defense preparedness 

and response, (6) compliance and 

enforcement, (7) industry and 

community relations, (8) program 

support and resources, and (9) program 

assessment. Each standard includes a 

list of records needed to document 

compliance with the standard (referred 

to in the Program Standards document 

as ‘‘quality records’’) and has one or 

more corresponding appendices that 

contain forms and worksheets to 

facilitate the collection of information 

needed to assess the retail food 

regulatory program against that 

standard. The respondents are state, 

local and tribal government agencies. 

Regulatory agencies may use existing, 

available records or may choose to 

develop and use alternate forms and 

worksheets that capture the same 

information. 

In the course of their normal 

activities, state, local, and tribal 

regulatory agencies already collect and 

keep on file many of the records needed 

as quality records to document 

compliance with each of the Program 

Standards. Although the detail and 

format in which this information is 

collected and recorded may vary by 

jurisdiction, records that are kept as a 

usual and customary part of normal 

agency activities include inspection 

records, written quality assurance 

procedures and records of quality 

assurance checks, staff training 

certificates and other training records, a 

log or database of food-related illness or 

injury complaints, records of 

investigations resulting from such 

complaints, an inventory of inspection 

equipment, records of outside audits, 

and records of outreach efforts (e.g., 

meeting agendas and minutes, 

documentation of food safety education 

activities). No new recordkeeping 

burden is associated with these existing 

records, which are already a part of 

usual and customary program 

recordkeeping activities by state, local, 

and tribal regulatory agencies, and 

which can serve as quality records 

under the Program Standards. 

State, local, and tribal regulatory 

agencies that enroll in the Program 

Standards and seek listing in the FDA 

National Registry are required to report 

to FDA on the completion of the 

following three management tasks 

outlined in the Program Standards: (1) 

Conducting a program self assessment; 

(2) conducting a baseline survey of the 

regulated industry; and (3) obtaining an 

independent outside audit (verification 

audit). All three tasks must initially be 

completed within a 3-year time span. 

The results are reported to FDA on Form 

FDA 3519, ‘‘FDA National Registry 

Report’’ and Form FDA 3520, 

‘‘Permission to Publish in National 

Registry.’’ These forms are located in 

Appendix I of the Program Standards 

document. If a regulatory agency follows 

all the recordkeeping recommendations 

in the individual standards and their 

appendices, it will have all the 

information needed to complete the 

forms. The time required to complete 

the forms is minimal. 

In the Federal Register of November 

14, 2006 (71 FR 66337), FDA published 

a 60-day notice requesting public 

comment on the information collection 

provisions. FDA received two letters in 

response to the notice, but the letters 

contained comments that were not 

responsive to the four PRA comment 

requests. These comments will not be 

addressed in this document. 

In April 2006, the Conference for 

Food Protection approved changes to 

the Program Standards that have been 

incorporated into a draft 2007 revision, 

which is available at http:// 

www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/ret4toc.html. 

FDA analyzed whether incorporation of 

the changes alters its estimate of the 

recordkeeping and reporting burdens as 

set forth in the 60-day notice. FDA 

concluded that the changes cause a 

minor increase and decrease in the 

recordkeeping burden, resulting in no 

net change in the recordkeeping burden 

estimate. FDA further concluded that 

the reporting burden estimate should be 

increased by adding a line to table 2 to 

reflect the addition of 150 hours. This 

is because the revision to Standard 2 

establishes an Assessment of Training 

Needs (ATN) process and forms that can 

be used by regulatory retail food 

program managers/training officers to 

prepare Food Safety Inspection officers 

(FSIOs) to conduct retail food and 

foodservice inspections (new Appendix 

B–2 and its accompanying Attachments
