Comments are due Sept. 5 to the Office of Management and Budget on information collected through FDA's prior notice requirements for imported food, FDA said in a notice. The agency submitted its proposed extension of approval for prior notice requirements to OMB, it said. FDA estimates 10 minutes per new prior notice submission through the Automated Broker Interface and 23 minutes for each new submission via the FDA Prior Notice System Interface, 15 minutes for each cancellation of a prior notice in both systems, and one to eight hours for prior notice requests for review and post-hold submissions, for a total of 3,677,494 burden hours, an increase in burden hours attributed to an increase in the number of responses.
