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.

State Petitions for Exemption From Preemption

OMB Control Number 0910-0277--Extension

    Under section 403A(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 
(the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 343-1(b)), States may petition FDA for 
exemption from Federal preemption of State food labeling and standard-
of-identity requirements. Section 100.1(d) (21 CFR 100.1(d)) sets forth 
the information a State is required to submit in such a petition. The 
information required under Sec.  100.1(d) enables FDA to determine 
whether the State food labeling or standard-of-identity requirement 
satisfies the criteria of section 403A(b) of the FD&C Act for granting 
exemption from Federal preemption.
    In the Federal Register of June 15, 2017 (82 FR 27491), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. We received no comments.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

                                                     Table 1--Estimated Annual Reporting Burden \1\

                          21 CFR 100.1(d)                               Number of      responses per     Total annual    Average burden    Total hours
                                                                       respondents       respondent       responses       per response

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

    The reporting burden for Sec.  100.1(d) is minimal because 
petitions for exemption from preemption are seldom submitted by States. 
In the last 3 years, we have received one new petition for exemption 
from preemption; therefore, we estimate that one or fewer petitions 
will be submitted annually.

    Dated: November 1, 2017.
Anna K. Abram,
Deputy Commissioner for Policy, Planning, Legislation, and Analysis.
