2The term ‘‘Form FDA 2512’’ refers to both the paper Forms FDA 2512, 2512a, and 2514 and electronic Form FDA 2512 in the electronic system known as the Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Program, which is available at http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/cos-regn.html. 

The estimated number of respondents 

is based on submissions received from 

fiscal years 2005 to 2007. The estimated 

time required for each submission is 

based upon information from cosmetic 

industry personnel and FDA experience 

entering data submitted on paper Forms 

FDA 2512, 2512a, and 2514. The 

increase in total annual responses is due 

to increased participation by cosmetic 

companies, because of a renewed 

industry commitment to the program, 

and implementation of the online filing 

system on December 1, 2005. The 

decrease in hours per response is due to 

the ease of online filing.

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request; Food Safety 

Survey 

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, 

HHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug 

Administration (FDA) is announcing an 

opportunity for public comment on the 

proposed collection of certain 

information by the agency. Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the 

PRA), Federal agencies are required to 

publish notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each proposed 

reinstatement of an existing collection 

of information, and to allow 60 days for 

public comment in response to the 

notice. This notice solicits comments on 

a voluntary consumer survey about food 

safety. 

DATES: Submit written or electronic 

comments on the collection of 

information by November 17, 2008. 

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic 

comments on the collection of 

information to http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Submit written 

comments on the collection of 

information to the Division of Dockets 

Management (HFA–305), Food and Drug 

Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 

1061, Rockville, MD 20852. All 

comments should be identified with the 

docket number found in brackets in the 

heading of this document. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jonna Capezzuto, Office of Information 

Management (HFA–710), Food and Drug 

Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, 

Rockville, MD 20857, 301–796–3794. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Under 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, 

including each proposed reinstatement 

of an existing 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 set forth in this document. 

With respect to the following 

collection of information, FDA invites 

comments on these topics: (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 (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 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 17, 2008 / Notices 53879 

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 non-respondents will be asked to 

participate in a short version of the 

survey to conduct a non-response 

analysis. Participation will be voluntary. 

Cognitive interviews and a pre-test will 

be conducted prior to fielding the 

survey. 

FDA estimates the burden of this 

collection of information as follows:

agency’s prior experience with the Food 

Safety Survey.
