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.

State Enforcement Notifications--21 CFR 100.2(d)

OMB Control Number 0910-0275--Extension

    Section 310(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the 
FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 337(b)) authorizes a State to enforce certain 
sections of the FD&C Act in their own name and within their own 
jurisdiction. However, before doing so, a State must provide notice to 
FDA according to 21 CFR 100.2. The information required in a letter of 
notification under Sec.  100.2(d) enables us to identify the food 
against which a State intends to take action and to advise that State 
whether Federal enforcement action against the food has been taken or 
is in process. With certain narrow exceptions, Federal enforcement 
action precludes State action under the FD&C Act.
    In the Federal Register of March 13, 2015 (80 FR 13392), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. No comments were received.
    We estimate the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

                                                     Table 1--Estimated Annual Reporting Burden \1\

                                                                                         Number of
                           21 CFR section                               Number of      responses per     Total annual    Average burden    Total hours
                                                                       respondents      respondents       responses       per response

100.2(d)...........................................................               1                1                1               10               10
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

    The estimated reporting burden for Sec.  100.2(d) is minimal 
because enforcement notifications are seldom used by States. During the 
last 3 years, we have not received any new enforcement notifications; 
therefore, we estimate that one or fewer notifications will be 
submitted annually. Although we have not received any new enforcement 
notifications in the last 3 years, we believe these information 
collection provisions should be extended to provide for the potential 
future need of a State government to submit enforcement notifications 
informing us when it intends to take enforcement action under the FD&C 
Act against a particular food located in the State.

    Dated: May 15, 2015.

Associate Commissioner for Policy.
