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 (21 U.S.C. 
341) (FD&C Act) directs FDA to issue regulations establishing 
definitions and standards of identity for food. Under section 403(g) of 
the FD&C 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.
    Description of Respondents: Respondents to this collection of 
information include private sector businesses including institutional 
and/or industrial customers and food industry members such as 
manufacturers, packers, or distributors desiring to apply for a 
temporary marketing permit or permit extension.
    In the Federal Register of April 16, 2020 (85 FR 21247), we 
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:
