In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance.
Temporary Marketing Permit Applications-21 CFR 130.17(c) and (i)-(OMB Control Number 0910-0133)-Extension
Section 401 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 341), directs FDA to issue regulations establishing definitions and standards of identity for food "[w]henever * * * such action will promote honesty and fair dealing in the interest of consumers * * *." Under section 403(g) of the act (21 U.S.C. 343(g)), a food that is subject to a definition and standard of identity prescribed by regulation is misbranded if it does not conform to such definition and standard of identity. Section 130.17 (21 CFR 130.17) provides for the issuance by FDA of temporary marketing permits that enable the food industry to test consumer acceptance and measure the technological and commercial feasibility in interstate commerce of experimental packs of food that deviate from applicable definitions and standards of identity. Section 130.17(c) enables the agency to monitor the manufacture, labeling, and distribution of experimental packs of food that deviate from applicable definitions and standards of identity. The information so obtained can be used in support of a petition to establish or amend the applicable definition or standard of identity to provide for the variations. Section 130.17(i) specifies the information that a firm must submit to FDA to obtain an extension of a temporary marketing permit.
In the Federal Register of April 2, 2008 (73 FR 17986), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the information collection provisions. No comments were received.
