Generic Clearance for Quick Turnaround Testing of Communication Effectiveness
OMB Control Number 0910-0876-Extension
The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) (Pub. L. 111-353) enables FDA to better protect public health by helping to ensure the safety and security of the food supply. It enables FDA to focus more on preventing food safety problems rather than relying primarily on reacting to problems after they occur. FSMA recognizes the important role consumers and stakeholders play in ensuring the safety of the food supply, which helps ensure that suppliers produce food that meets U.S. safety standards.
Occasionally, FDA will need to communicate with consumers and other stakeholders about immediate health issues that could affect public health and safety. This collection of information allows the use of fast-track methods of communication such as quick turnaround surveys, focus groups, and indepth interviews collected from consumers and other stakeholders to communicate FDA issues of immediate and important public health significance. We plan on using these methods of communication to collect vital public health and safety information.
For example, these methods of communication might be used when there is a foodborne illness outbreak, food recall, or other situation requiring expedited FDA food, dietary supplement, cosmetics, or animal food or feed communications. So that FDA may better protect the public health, the Agency needs quick turnaround information provided by this collection of information to help ensure its messaging has reached the target audience, has been effective, and, if needed, to update its communications during these events.
Respondents to this collection of information include a wide range of consumers and other FDA stakeholders such as producers and manufacturers of FDA-regulated food and cosmetic products, dietary supplements, and animal food and feed. Participation will be voluntary.
In the Federal Register of April 18, 2022 (87 FR 22906), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. Although three comments were received, they were not responsive to the four collection of information topics solicited.
