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.

Substances Prohibited From Use in Animal Food or Feed; Animal Proteins 
Prohibited in Ruminant Feed--(OMB Control Number 0910-0339)--Extension

    This information collection was established because epidemiological 
evidence gathered in the United Kingdom suggested that bovine 
spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), a progressively degenerative central 
nervous system disease, is spread to ruminant animals by feeding 
protein derived from ruminants infected with BSE. This regulation 
places general requirements on persons that manufacture, blend, 
process, and distribute products that contain or may contain protein 
derived from mammalian tissue, and feeds made from such products.
    In the Federal Register of February 26, 2010 (75 FR 8959), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. In response, FDA received one comment. This 
comment was outside the scope of the four topics discussed in the 60-
day notice.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:
