and severe headache, accompanied by 

stiff neck or change in level of 

consciousness. CDC has the authority to 

collect personal health information to 

protect the health of the public under 

the authority of section 301 of the 

Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.). 

This information collection request 

also includes the Passenger Locator 

Information Form. The Passenger 

Locator Information Form is used to 

collect reliable information that assists 

quarantine officers in locating, in a 

timely manner, those passengers and 

crew who are exposed to communicable 

diseases of public health significance 

while traveling on a conveyance. HHS 

delegates authority to CDC to conduct 

quarantine control measures. Currently, 

with the exception of rodent inspections 

and the cruise ship sanitation program, 

inspections are performed only on those 

vessels and aircraft which report illness 

prior to arrival or when illness is 

discovered upon arrival. Other 

inspection agencies assist quarantine 

officers in public health screening of 

persons, pets, and other importations of 

public health significance and make 

referrals to the Public Health Service 

when indicated. These practices and 

procedures assure protection against the 

introduction and spread of 

communicable diseases into the United 

States with a minimum of 

recordkeeping and reporting as well as 

a minimum of interference with trade 

and travel. 

Respondents include airline pilots, 

ships’ captains, importers, and travelers. 

The nature of the quarantine response 

dictates which forms are completed by 

whom. There are no costs to 

respondents except for their time to 

complete the forms. 

The total annualized burden for this 

information collection request is 

225,761 hours.

Proposed Project 

Improving the Quality and Delivery of 

CDC’s Heart Disease and Stroke 

Prevention Programs—New—Division 

for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention 

(DHDSP), National Center for Chronic 

Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Heart disease and stroke are among 

the most widespread and costly causes 

of death and disability in the U.S., but 

are also among the most preventable 

health problems. In 2006, CDC created 

the Division of Heart Disease and Stroke 

Prevention (DHDSP) to provide national 

leadership for efforts to reduce the 

burden of disease, disability, and death 

from heart disease and stroke. 

Many heart disease and stroke 

prevention and control activities are 

conducted through DHDSP-funded heart 

disease and stroke prevention programs. 

The DHDSP’s key partners include State 

and local health departments, public 

health organizations, community 

organizations, nonprofit organizations, 

and professional organizations. The 

DHDSP supports partners by conducting 

trainings, providing scientific guidance 

and technical assistance, and producing 

scientific information and supporting 

tools. For example, the DHDSP provides 

training to States on how to implement 

and evaluate their programs and 

provides guidance on how to best apply 

evidence-based practices. In addition 

the DHDSP translates its scientific 

studies into informational products, 

such as on-line reports and trend data. 

Over the next three years, DHDSP 

plans to conduct a series of information 

collections based on a reference set of 

questions that address relevance, quality 

and impact of DHDSP services and 

guidance. A generic clearance is 

requested in order to provide flexibility 

in the content and timing of specific 

information collections. Surveys 

tailored to specific public health 

partners, services, or other 

programmatic initiatives will be 

developed from the reference set of preapproved questions. A small number of 

demographic and descriptive questions 

may be included in specific surveys to 

assess the extent to which perceptions 

and use of DHDSP services vary across 

types of respondents. Whenever 

feasible, information will be collected 

electronically to reduce burden on 

respondents. In addition, information 

may be collected through in-person or 

telephone interviews or focus groups 

when Web-based surveys are

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 97 / Thursday, May 21, 2009 / Notices 23865 

impractical or when in-depth responses 

are required. 

The evaluation information will be 

used to determine whether DHDSP 

activities and products are reaching the 

intended audiences, whether they are 

deemed to be useful by those audiences, 

and whether DHDSP efforts improve 

public health practices. Finally, the 

generic clearance format will allow the 

DHDSP to identify new programmatic 

opportunities and to respond to 

partners’ concerns. 

There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time. The total 

estimated annualized burden hours are 

491.

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: In 

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

has submitted the following proposed 

collection of information to OMB for 

review and clearance. 

Irradiation in the Production, 

Processing, and Handling of Food— 

(OMB Control Number 0910–0186)— 

Extension 

Under sections 201(s) and 409 of the 

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 

(the act) (21 U.S.C. 321(s) and 348), food 

irradiation is subject to regulation under 

the food additive premarket approval 

provisions of the act. The regulations 

providing for uses of irradiation in the 

production, processing, and handling of 

food are found in part 179 (21 CFR part 

179). To ensure safe use of a radiation 

source, § 179.21(b)(1) requires that the 

label of sources bear appropriate and 

accurate information identifying the 

source of radiation and the maximum 

(or minimum and maximum) energy of 

radiation emitted by x-ray tube sources. 

Section 179.21(b)(2) requires that the 

label or accompanying labeling bear 

adequate directions for installation and 

use and a statement supplied by FDA 

that indicates maximum dose of 

radiation allowed. Section 179.26(c) 

requires that the label or accompanying 

labeling bear a logo and a radiation 

disclosure statement. Section 179.25(e) 

requires that food processors who treat 

food with radiation make and retain, for 

1 year past the expected shelf life of the 

products up to a maximum of 3 years, 

specified records relating to the 

irradiation process (e.g., the food 

treated, lot identification, scheduled 

process, etc.). The records required by 

§ 179.25(e) are used by FDA inspectors 

to assess compliance with the regulation 

that establishes limits within which 

radiation may be safely used to treat 

food. The agency cannot ensure safe use 

without a method to assess compliance 

with the dose limits, and there are no 

practicable methods for analyzing most 

foods to determine whether they have 

been treated with ionizing radiation and 

are within the limitations set forth in 

part 179. Records inspection is the only 

way to determine whether firms are 

complying with the regulations for 

treatment of foods with ionizing 

radiation. 

In this request for extension of OMB 

approval, FDA proposes to include and 

consolidate into the subject collection of 

information (OMB control number 

0910–0186) the collection of 

information and associated burden 

hours from OMB control number 0910– 

0549. This inclusion is reflected in the 

estimated burden reported in table 1 of 

this document, which has increased by 

the addition of one recordkeeper in the 

large processors line, increasing the 

number of estimated recordkeepers from 

two to three. 

Description of Respondents: 

Respondents are businesses engaged in 

the irradiation of food. 

In the Federal Register of February 

13, 2009 (74 FR 7236), FDA published 

a 60-day notice requesting public 

comment on the information collection 

provisions. No comments were received.
