SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 extension 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.

[[Page 27492]]

    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.

State Petitions for Exemption From Preemption--21 CFR 100.1(d)

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.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\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.

Deputy Commissioner for Policy, Planning, Legislation, and Analysis.
