SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing that the
proposed collection of information listed below has been submitted to
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the PRA). In addition, this
document is correcting the information collection notice that appeared
in the Federal Register of February 9, 1999 (64 FR 6364).
DATES: Submit written comments on the collection of information by June
7, 1999.
ADDRESSES: Submit written comments on the collection of information to
the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, OMB, New Executive
Office Bldg., 725 17th St. NW., rm. 10235, Washington, DC 20503, Attn:
Desk Officer for FDA.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peggy Schlosburg, Office of
Information Resources Management (HFA-250), Food and Drug
Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301-827-1223.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with section 3507 of the PRA
(44 U.S.C. 3507), FDA has submitted the following proposed collection
of information to OMB for review and clearance.
Premarket Notification for a New Dietary Ingredient--21 CFR 190.6 (OMB
Control Number 0910-0330--Extension)
Description: Section 413(a) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 350b(a)) provides for the notification of the
Secretary of Health and Human Services (the Secretary) (and by
delegation FDA) at least 75 days before the introduction or delivery
for introduction into interstate commerce of a dietary supplement that
contains a new dietary ingredient. The agency established 21 CFR 190.6
as the procedural regulation for this program. This regulation provides
details of the administrative procedures associated with the submission
and identifies the information that must be included in the submission
in order to meet the requirements of section 413(a) of the act and to
show the basis on which a manufacturer or distributor of a new dietary
ingredient or a dietary supplement containing a new dietary ingredient
has concluded that the dietary supplement containing such dietary
ingredient will reasonably be expected to be safe.
Description of Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit
organizations.
In the Federal Register of February 9, 1999 (64 FR 6364), the
agency requested comments on the proposed collections of information.
No comments were received.

\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information
The agency believes that there will be a minimal burden on the
industry to generate data to meet the requirements of the premarket
notification program because the agency is requesting only that
information that the manufacturer or distributor should already have
developed to satisfy itself that a dietary supplement containing a new
dietary ingredient is in full compliance with the act. However, the
agency estimates that extracting and summarizing the relevant
information from the company's files, and presenting it in a format
that will meet the requirements of section 413 of the act, will require
a burden of approximately 20 hours of work per submission. This
estimate is based on the average number of premarket notifications
received by the agency in the last 3 years.
Additionally, in FR Doc. 99-3014, appearing on page 6364 in the
Federal Register of Tuesday, February 9, 1999, the following correction
is made:
1. On page 6365, in the first column, the title ``New Dietary
Ingredient Premarket Notification--21 CFR 190.6 (OMB Control Number
0910-0330--
[[Page 24661]]
Extension)'' is corrected to read ``Premarket Notification for a New
Dietary Ingredient--21 CFR 190.6 (OMB Control Number 0910-0330--
Extension)''
Dated: April 29, 1999.
