Section 415 of the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act requires domestic and foreign facilities that
manufacture, process, pack, or hold food for human or animal
consumption in the United States to be registered with the FDA.
Sections 1.230 - 1.235 (21 CFR 1.230-1.235)of FDA's regulations set
forth the procedures for registration of food facilities.
Information provided to FDA under these regulations will help the
agency to notify quickly the facilities that might be affected by a
deliberate or accidental contamination of the food supply.
In accordance with the 5
CFR 1320.13, FDA believes that public harm is reasonably likely to
occur and the Agency will be at risk of not fulfilling its FSMA
mandate, if the normal clearance procedures are followed. In the
six months or more it can take to obtain a full PRA clearance, a
significant number of consumers could be exposed to the risk of
consuming hazardous food products. FDA believes that these
circumstances can be mitigated or prevented through prompt
communication with facilities that might be affected by a
deliberate or accidental contamination of the food supply and
through targeted import inspections.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
